Turning your Raspberry Pi 400 Computer into a USB Keyboard #PiDay #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi @Gadgetoid

Phil Howard posts on Twitter how to turn the Raspberry Pi 400 computer into a USB HID keyboard for another computer.

Yes, the Raspberry Pi Foundation does sell a regular USB keyboard one can use with any computer. But if you want more of a Swiss Army knife rather than a single blade, the Pi 400 is definitely the ticket.

The code to perform the magic is on GitHub here.

See the tweets here.

  1. Someone actually did a (probably better) version right after me, see: https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-tools/blob/master/keyboard-proxy/main.c

    I think the latest build is here: https://hydra.angeldsis.com/build/105678
