Using the Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard and Mouse Kit

The Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard and Mouse Kit can be used with any Raspberry Pi model that has a USB port. Here are some code examples that demonstrate how to use this component in various contexts:

Example 1: Using the Keyboard to Input Data in Python

In this example, we will use the Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard to input data in a Python script.

```python
# Import the necessary module
import keyboard

# Define a function to read input from the keyboard
def read_input():
    print("Enter your name: ")
    name = input()
    print("Hello, " + name + "!")

# Call the function
read_input()
```

In this example, we use the `keyboard` module to read input from the user through the Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard. When the user presses Enter, the input is stored in the `name` variable and printed to the console.

Example 2: Using the Mouse to Control a GUI Application

In this example, we will use the Raspberry Pi Official Mouse to control a simple GUI application built using the Pygame library.

```python
# Import the necessary modules
import pygame
import sys

# Initialize Pygame
pygame.init()

# Set up the display
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))

# Set up the mouse
pygame.mouse.set_visible(True)

# Define a function to handle mouse events
def handle_mouse_events():
    while True:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                pygame.quit()
                sys.exit()
            elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION:
                print("Mouse moved to: " + str(event.pos))
            elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                print("Mouse button pressed at: " + str(event.pos))
            elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
                print("Mouse button released at: " + str(event.pos))

# Call the function
handle_mouse_events()
```

In this example, we use the Pygame library to create a GUI application that responds to mouse events. When the user moves the mouse, presses a mouse button, or releases a mouse button, the corresponding event is handled by the `handle_mouse_events` function.

Example 3: Using the Keyboard and Mouse Together in a Game

In this example, we will use both the Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard and Mouse to control a simple game built using the Pygame library.

```python
# Import the necessary modules
import pygame
import sys

# Initialize Pygame
pygame.init()

# Set up the display
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))

# Set up the keyboard and mouse
pygame.key.set_repeat(10, 10)
pygame.mouse.set_visible(True)

# Define a function to handle keyboard and mouse events
def handle_events():
    while True:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                pygame.quit()
                sys.exit()
            elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
                if event.key == pygame.K_UP:
                    print("Up arrow pressed")
                elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
                    print("Down arrow pressed")
            elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION:
                print("Mouse moved to: " + str(event.pos))
            elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                print("Mouse button pressed at: " + str(event.pos))

# Call the function
handle_events()
```

In this example, we use both the keyboard and mouse to control a simple game. When the user presses the up or down arrow keys, a message is printed to the console. When the user moves the mouse or presses a mouse button, a message is also printed to the console.

These examples demonstrate the versatility and ease of use of the Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard and Mouse Kit in various contexts.
