SWC to run macro rather than single action

User_mdhjrybs

I am still very much a newbie so maybe there is a workaround for this that I haven't found yet, but it would be really useful to be able to map a steering wheel button to a macro rather than a single command.

My use case is that I am going to be using one of these to help control my Dudu7 headunit.

The buttons on it are a resistance ladder so I have been able to connect it to the Key1 input line and set up various commands for it. It works great but only for a single action - for the Media and Radio buttons I would really like it to activate the relevant player and then after a second or 2 return to the home screen.

WoOOOhOOO

Maybe a little offtopic but does the wheel do anything on that control thing?

I'm also curious about your question.

I have modified mine so that pins for the wheel (which is just a rotary encoder) connect to a Pro Micro Arduino board running a sketch that sends the media volume up and down commands via USB. On my old android headunit I send all the button presses as USB keyboard commands as well and used Button Mapper and Macrodroid to give the commands.

I could do the same here, but I was hoping to simplify things a bit for the DUDU and do it all using the built-in SWC learning feature. It's 90% there as it stands, but a macro feature would be the icing on the cake to make it 100%.
