Getting Started

Setting Up A Device

  3. If your device is listed under "mimacro Devices", it is ready to be added as a device. If your device is listed under "Compatible Devices", it is likely compatible with mimacro, but does not have firmware installed yet. If your device is listed under "Other Devices", mimacro does not recognize the device, and it may not be compatible.

  2. Use the dropdowns to set what part is wired into which pin.
