    I was wondering how hard is it to make my Pico to connect to my iOS devices as a HID? Perhaps it is easier to do that with Bluetooth, but I want to power the Pico board from the target's device's battery instead.

    I did a quick search and didn't find any references to connecting the Pico to iOS devices, has anyone tried it?

    I'm not any good at writing drivers myself, I mostly write apps and games in high-level languages. But just as a guess - wouldn't it be possible to program the board to load as normal and on a button press: change it's own mode, eject itself and then mount again with as a HID.

    This is a pretty wild guess, but I figured it's possible, since even after being unmounted it would still have power supply from USB and resetting itself could be potentially possible.

    It's also hard to predict for me how much processing time it would take to load instructions from flash into memory on such a board or if that part of firmware is even editable like that at all.

    In any case, I'll try to look into the whole driver thing that you have on github and post a question on stackoverflow once I've studied the code. But as I told you, I'm very green in this whole thing, so I don't expect to do it better or sooner that you would :)

    Cool, thanks!

    Any idea why Windows OS doesn't recognize the USB HID devices? Maybe it expects to have a driver present in the device's flash drive somehow or it conflicts when it's "connected" to the Espruino Web IDE.

    Is there any possible way to make it stable across all platforms or does it require something that's not included in the hardware?

    I just wanted to ask if it's available to use Espruino Pico as a USB keyboard/mouse?
    It's one of the stretch goals we've reached and as much as I heard from Gordon it will be added somewhere in the future.

    Does anyone know how can I make my Espruino Pico board to start "typing" when plugged in?
