Code not sending USB HID codes #2

Open babarrett opened 5 years ago

babarrett commented 5 years ago

From reading the code it looks to me like the output is ASCII characters sent across the serial debug line.

The Readme states: "This version uses ATMega32u4 Arduino-compatible devices to scan the six keys and generate standard US USB HID keyboard..."

Looks to me like we need to include the HID library and use that to generate output to the USB port.

I'll look into doing this enhancement unless I'm "just not getting it," if this code doesn't exist elsewhere.

Thanks

Read the code more thoroughly. It sends HID codes over the USB interface using keyboard.write()

Thanks for your efforts. This is an amazing project. I haven't got my hardware up & running yet, but when I do I'll try it out.
