suggestion - one of the devices as bluetooth #20

Closed dkuku closed 5 months ago

It would be cool to use a bluetooth module for one of the devices. Then all the stuff can be inserted into a keyboard and the keyboard cable reused for power. The second device could be connected by bluetooth. Maybe even allow to pair with multiple devices.

I've considered that (using a Pico W, no PCB redesign needed and no additional hardware) - it's like 2$ more than a plain pico and you could perhaps use a wireless keyboard AND mouse! The plan is to first get things stable and working for e.g. Logitech mice and popular gear, then add more advanced features (including bluetooth).

Cool, then you don't need to separate both of the picos so you can save on that :). Anyway good project, will try to build it.

hrvach commented 5 months ago

Yes, that would be pretty cool - DeskHop Blue :) now I'm curious if Pico is powerful enough to crunch one host, one device and bluetooth device at the same time. Maybe!
