Pi2Co Web Keyboard

About

The Pi2co Web Keyboard is a simple program turning the Raspberry Pi Pico W into a keyboard, controllable over an intuitive web interface.

The name derives from...

  1. the fact that Pi is present twice in the name of the Raspberry Pi Pico
  2. Web Keyboard because it actually just says what this project's wanna archive. Not more, not less.

Installation

1. Install CircuitPython

Pi2Co Web Keyboard depends on the use of microPython. There are many instructions out there on the installation of it. For short, navigate to the downloads page of CircuitPython for the Pico W. Then, download the given .uf2 file.

Now time has come to connect the Pico to your computer. BUT: while connecting it, press and hold down the BOOTSEL button on the board. After that, the Pi should show up as a mass storage device. Just mount it, drop the .uf2, and wait. The MSD should now disappear. And appear again, with a new name. Congratulations, step 1 completed!

2. Install needed libraries

3. Upload the code.py file

To get this file, just download this repository. This can be done either by doing a git clone or just by using the web interface elements.

Then, move the file to the pico's mass storage device.

4. Configure the settings.toml file

All you have to add to the settings.toml located on the Pico are the following lines:

WIFI_SSID = "<YOUR WIFI SSID HERE>"
WIFI_PSK = "<YOUR WIFI PASSWORD HERE>"

That's all about it. Now, only one thing remains:

5. Have fun!
