<![CDATA[Keyboard Input (bluetooth keyboard, USB keyboard)?]]>Dear all, I am very new to M5Stack.

I would like to process keyboard input either via Bluetooth or USB. I have searched through this forum and any docs I have found, but no clue as to how to do this. I am particularly interested in typing to M5Paper for a project, but also interested in how it can be done on Core2 and others.

Can anyone point me to the right info?

thanks in advance,

Rod

You maybe able to use bluetooth but that's beyond my skillset .

If so, what would be involved in getting a USB keyboard to talk to my application?

I'll definitely take a look at this. It looks like a proof of concept, so far though (single keys only, not multiple at a time).

I am a bit surprised that there seem to be no general USB or Bluetooth keyboard support libraries in the M5 world.

It's probably a sign from the MCU gods and goddesses that it is time for me to stop being a scaredy-cat and to start learning to use C and C++.

I can only see myself going deeper down this kind of rabbit-hole, so I can not avoid C forever. :)
