Swedish keyboard?
PlutoNisse opened this issue · 8 comments
This is a very interesting possibility for getting keyboards from our region (Sweden/Finland) to co-operate with PicoMiteVGA. It is mostly the non-alphabetic signs that make the use of PicoMiteVGA problematic with our keyboards. (Stickers on most of the keys is not very pleasant!)
Would it also be possible to get the Swedish keybord included?
Please try the UF2 attached.

how is Swedish selected? in this test version does it replace German?

Its currently default on, I have to think about a jumperless configuration if more variations are added.
how about using a keyboard sequence to select it:
ctrl-alt-1 --> English US
ctrl-alt-2 --> German
ctrl-alt-3 --> Swedish
ctrl-alt-0 --> save current language selection to flash
if more that 9 keyboard languages are eventually needed, for additional ones use crtl-alt-A, -B, -C, etc., or ctrl-alt-shift-1, -2, -3, etc.

Tested the Swedish keyboard version. Works perfectly. Now I get all the needed special characters from the correct keys. Tested with two different USB-hubs. USB 2.0 hub worked while the tested USB 3.0 hub did not work. This is absolutely fine for me! Added pictures of the two hubs https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=16545&P=5#215915. THANKS!
Will get rid of the jumpers using this: https://no0ne.github.io/hid2cdc/
(work in progress, flashing the config doesn't do anything at the moment)
it would be nice to be able to set language, etc directly from the keyboard (such as changing with ctrl-alt-n) without needing to go through the process of upload anything. the RP2040 SDK should contain examples of reading/writing to flash from within running code..

Shure I will do this additionally. Its a proof of concept and will need this for a mapping table here: No0ne/ps2x2pico#23
