How to create USB HID Keyboard device on Esp32-S2?
4 projects | /r/esp32 | 5 Jul 2022

I've done this before using a fork of TinyUSB (https://github.com/atanisoft/esp32usb.git) and an ESP32-S3. It is not exactly trivial, and there exists 0 documentation. It IS possible though and I do have it working.

ESP32-BLE-Keyboard Example - "does not name a type" error
1 project | /r/arduino | 24 Oct 2023

I am trying to get started with the bluetooth keyboard example for ESP32. using the example, it throws the error: "Compilation error: 'BleKeyboard' does not name a type" I have tried to compile this in Arduino 1.8 and 2.2.1 and on multiple computers. all fail to compile. I even tried to downgrade the ESP32 package to 2.x to no avail. What am i missing here?

I like using the ESP32C3. If you don't need a lot of pinouts, the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 ($9) is awesome for emulating a Bluetooth Keyboard using the https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard library. Thanks to the Community members who made me aware of the BLE library.

It'll be much easier and cheaper if you used a ESP32. Example https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard
Macro keyboard help, mixed type array problem?
1 project | /r/arduino | 15 Feb 2023

From the library's BleKeyboard.h file, I think the main problem I have is that some keys are just "KEY_" which are type uint8_t.
