 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

PicoMiteBTH.zip Requirement Pico2-W or Pico Plus 2W (tested) This is a standard PicoMite build, no VGA/HDMI/WEB support, except that is has Bluetooth LE support for various devices. I have tested using an Android app proxiOS which emulates keyboard and mouse and gamepad and all work properly. It should work on any reasonably modern bluetooth keyboard - must be Bluetooth LE and not Bluetooth Classic. Please give it a go and report successes and failures |

Cheers for the heads-up re: Android app proxiOS. Bit unusual that the Shift keys latch, like a Caps-lock but no big deal. Edit: Oh, in the Trackpad screen, I can select my regular Android KB...Better  Edited 2026-05-22 00:03 by PhenixRising |

G'day Peter, The only Pico device missing from my collection is a 2W of any flavor, got a couple on order and am looking forward to giving this a try when they arrive. If there is a possibility of getting it working on a Pico-1W I have a couple of them (somewhere) Is there a plan to implement this in the HDMI/VGA firmware in the future or is this always going to be stand alone? Can you also confirm you read my post in the RC thread regarding a possible bug in the I2C system? Also still waiting for my "mate"  to return my CNC driver system to do some further testing of the stepper system, he borrowed mine "for a couple of days" 3 weeks ago now. And they wonder why I get grumpy.....Regards, Lyle. |

Peter Does the trackpad and game controls on that keyboard work?. You can use the device(mouse and device(gamepad functions to test them. Edited 2026-05-22 19:19 by matherp |

a few more tests I did on the mini keyboard    I can't get the trackpad to work, nor the mouse buttons. /Peter63 |

Hi Peter, Are you planning a command or function that regularly updates a list of detected Bluetooth devices (MAC address) in an array, along with their RSSI values? Something like a Bluetooth beacon scanner? That would be absolutely brilliant on a Pico with web support! Matthias |

Hello, Peter I thought I would try this mouse.      I don't really know how to test this, what device number does a BT mouse get? /Peter63 |

It will always get 2 unless already occupied, Keyboard 1, mouse 2, gamepad 3 |

 Tested the mouse with this program: xold=DEVICE(mouse 2,X) yold=DEVICE(mouse 2,Y) Do x=DEVICE(mouse 2,X) y=DEVICE(mouse 2,Y) b=DEVICE(mouse 2,L) r=DEVICE(mouse 2,R) m=DEVICE(mouse 2,M) d=DEVICE(mouse 2,D) If x<>xold Or y<>yold Then Print "X";x;:xold=x: Print " Y";y:yold=y If b Then Print "Left mouse button":Pause 200 If r Then Print "Right mouse button":Pause 200 If m Then Print "Middle mouse button":Pause 200 If d Then Print "Double click of the left mouse button":Pause 200 Loop End , and it works.  The middle button was the one that did not work on this mouse. /Peter63 |
