Press Button A or Button B to have the keypresses sent.

The Keyboard and Layout object are created, we only have US right now (if you make other layouts please submit a

GitHub pull request!)

# the keyboard object!

kbd = Keyboard()

# we're americans :)

layout = KeyboardLayoutUS(kbd)

Then you can send key-down's with kbd.press(keycode, ...) You can have up to 6 keycode presses at once. Note that

these are keycodes so if you want to send a capital A, you need both SHIFT and A. Don't forget to call kbd.release_all()

soon after or you'll have a stuck key which is really annoying!

You can also send full strings, with layout.write("Hello World!\n") - it will use the layout to determine the keycodes to

press.

# make all pin objects, make them inputs w/pulldowns

for pin in buttonpins:

button = DigitalInOut(pin)

button.direction = Direction.INPUT

button.pull = Pull.DOWN

buttons.append(button)

led = DigitalInOut(board.D13)

led.direction = Direction.OUTPUT

print("Waiting for button presses")

while True:

# check each button

# when pressed, the LED will light up,

# when released, the keycode or string will be sent

# this prevents rapid-fire repeats!

for button in buttons:

if button.value: # pressed?

i = buttons.index(button)

print("Button #%d Pressed" % i)

# turn on the LED

led.value = True

while button.value:

pass # wait for it to be released!

# type the keycode or string

k = buttonkeys[i] # get the corresp. keycode/str

if isinstance(k, str):

layout.write(k)

else:

kbd.press(controlkey, k) # press...

kbd.release_all() # release!

# turn off the LED

led.value = False

time.sleep(0.01)
