Keyboard & Mouse

HID Keyboard and Mouse

In this example, we will be utilizing the USBHIDBootKbdAndMouse example from the USB_Host_Shield_2.0 Arduino library. This example can be found in the File dropdown menu (i.e. (1) File > Examples > USB Host Shield Library 2.0 > HID > USBHIDBootKbdAndMouse). Once the example has been opened, users should see the USBHIDBootKbdAndMouse.ino example sketch.

1. 

   Select the USBHIDBootKbdAndMouse example sketch from the File drop-down menu.

Users will need to connect an HID device (keyboard and/or mouse) to the USB-C host shield with a USB cable, before running the example. After the example begins, users should see an output in the Serial Monitor with print out based on the user's interaction with their HID device.
