picow-keyboard

Turn your Raspberry Pi Pico W in a portable keyboard! Simply plug it into any system, connect to the AP it starts, and use this HTML interface to type out to the system as if the pico was a keyboard:

This was designed to be quick and easy to use, though there is a teensy bit of a setup involved.

Installation Process

1. Hold down BOOTSEL button on the Pico before plugging it in. Download the .uf2 file of CircuitPython 9.x and drop it in the root of the pi.
2. Download the adafruit_hid library and download a 9.x compatible version circuitpython-hid-9.x-mpy-6.1.1.zip). Extract the lib folder into the pi's lib folder.
3. Download the adafruit_httpserver library and download a 9.x compatible version adafruit-circuitpython-hid-9.x-mpy-6.1.1.zip). Extract the lib folder into the pi's lib folder.
4. Copy code.py into the root project of the pi.
