Make BLE HID keyboard available #233

Open jaustin opened 7 years ago

jaustin commented 7 years ago

There's already a PR for this, but it is for an older version of the DAL and not ready for merging. https://github.com/lancaster-university/microbit-dal/pull/117

@matthewelse did the original work

matthewelse commented 7 years ago

@jaustin I've been meaning to look at this for quite a while 😏 . I've got quite a busy week or two ahead, but I'd definitely be interested in getting it to the point where it can be merged into the DAL. Do you have any specific time frame for getting this merged by?

jaustin commented 7 years ago

@matthewelse that was quick! I'm actually just filing a bunch of issues to serve as possible 'up for grabs' tasks for interested people looking at the DAL... If you've not got the time to look at it now, no worries, but this issue will let us/anyone else interested discuss it, etc.

matthewelse commented 7 years ago

@jaustin Makes sense - definitely if someone's interested in getting this ready I'm happy to work with them.

ghost commented 7 years ago

I'd be happy to volunteer to document this as and when it's available. I haven't looked at the code in the PR but i assume / hope it's consistent with the approach taken for other services and as such will sit nicely alongside them.

@bluetooth-mdw thanks - that sounds great.

ghost commented 7 years ago

@jaustin fyi I have a few of the Bluetooth related issues on my list.....

jaustin commented 7 years ago

@bluetooth-mdw Please just file as 'upforgrabs' if you've got other relevant issues :)

finneyj commented 7 years ago

Awesome - thanks guys. have also been meaning to resurrect this for quite some time - it would be a great feature to have. Looking forward to seeing this one!

Greetings--- ran into this thread while looking for a Microbit HID solution. I'm particularly interested in using the bluetooth for assistive technology switch use. I mostly just need a user friendly and low cost way to send a space bar and tab. Any ideas for a noob?
