Install the app

The Polpad app sets up the keys and the display and flashes the macropad firmware. It runs on Windows and Linux. The app itself is in Portuguese for now.

Windows

1. Download Polpad-Windows-Instalador.exe from the Download page.
2. Run the installer and follow the steps. You can choose to start Polpad with Windows: it opens minimized in the tray.
3. Plug the macropad in over USB and open Polpad.

When a new version comes out, the app tells you and updates itself. The option is in the menu (☰), under Versão e atualizações (version and updates).

Linux

1. Download Polpad-Linux-Instalador.tar.gz from the Download page and extract it.
2. Double-click Polpad or run ./Polpad in a terminal.
3. The first time, the app asks whether to add itself to the applications menu. Choose Instalar (install): it goes into your home folder (~/.local) and needs no password. After that, the extracted folder can be deleted.
4. If the macropad shows as disconnected, click Liberar acesso (grant access). The system asks for the administrator password once to unlock the USB port.

To uninstall: Configurações → Zona de risco → Desinstalar (Settings → Danger zone → Uninstall).
