Arduino Uno As Keyboard

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

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.

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.

You should now be able to see a button that says flash, and it should now have become an Arduino keyboard.
