Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Mouse Kit (Black & Grey) DocumentationOverviewThe Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Mouse Kit (Black & Grey) is a compact and convenient input solution designed specifically for Raspberry Pi boards. This kit includes a sleek and compact keyboard and a corresponding mouse, both of which connect to the Raspberry Pi via a single USB port. The kit is ideal for Raspberry Pi projects that require user input, such as home automation, media centers, and retro game consoles.Technical SpecificationsKeyboard:
+ 79-key layout with integrated numeric keypad
+ Compatible with Raspberry Pi boards (Model B, B+, 2, 3, and 4)
+ USB connectivity
Mouse:
+ Optical sensor with 1000 CPI resolution
+ Ergonomic design for comfortable use
+ USB connectivityGetting StartedBefore using the Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Mouse Kit, ensure that your Raspberry Pi board is properly configured and running the latest version of the Raspbian operating system.Code Examples### Example 1: Reading Keyboard Input in PythonIn this example, we'll demonstrate how to read keyboard input using Python on the Raspberry Pi. We'll use the `keyboard` library to read keyboard events and print the corresponding key presses to the console.
```python
import keyboardwhile True:
key = keyboard.read_key()
if key:
print(f"Key pressed: {key}")
```
Run this code on your Raspberry Pi, and press keys on the keyboard to see the corresponding output in the terminal.### Example 2: Controlling a Robot using Keyboard and Mouse InputsIn this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the keyboard and mouse inputs to control a robot using Python and the `RPi.GPIO` library. We'll assume you have a robot connected to your Raspberry Pi via GPIO pins.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up GPIO pins for motor control
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT) # Left motor
GPIO.setup(23, GPIO.OUT) # Right motorwhile True:
# Read keyboard input
key = keyboard.read_key()
if key == 'w':
# Move forward
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)
elif key == 's':
# Move backward
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)
elif key == 'a':
# Turn left
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)
elif key == 'd':
# Turn right
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)# Read mouse input (assuming mouse is connected to USB port)
x, y = mouse.get_position()
if x > 500:
# Move robot forward
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)
elif x < 200:
# Move robot backward
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)time.sleep(0.1)GPIO.cleanup()
```
In this example, we use the keyboard to control the robot's movement (forward, backward, left, and right) and the mouse to control the robot's speed (based on the x-axis mouse position).TroubleshootingEnsure that the keyboard and mouse are properly connected to the Raspberry Pi via USB.
Verify that the Raspbian operating system is up-to-date and configured correctly.
Check the GPIO pin connections and robot hardware configuration if you're using the robot control example.By following these examples and guidelines, you should be able to successfully integrate the Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Mouse Kit into your projects and take advantage of its convenient input capabilities.
