About: I am an 8th grade student currently apart of the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute.
In this project, we are going to use the Arduino Uno as a HID keyboard. To start, connect the two pins shown with a metal conductor, which cause the device to go into firmware mode.
Supplies
What you need:
- An Arduino Uno or Mega
- A Usb - B cable
- A computer
Step 1: Downloading Flip
After connecting the two pins, install Atmel flip, which will allow us to change the firmware. The link to download is this: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/FLIP.
Step 2: Connecting the Board and Firmware
After doing this, open it up and select the Atmel16u2 chip. Then click the usb, and then select usb, and open it.
Step 3:
You should now be able to see a button that says flash, and it should now have become an Arduino keyboard.
