The Bluetooth Chord Keyboard Lives

I want to use this keyboard with my left hand and move the mouse with my right…..

The last few days have been fun. I’ve been creating the software for the PICO Bluetooth Chord keyboard, otherwise known as “Blue-Chords”. I’ve been batting with CMake (which I’ve never previously had to tangle with much). It turns out to be a bit fiddly. I mentioned it to number one son and he was able to build a free-standing version of the example code which was terribly helpful.

Anyhoo, today I dropped the chord reading code into the software and I now have a working chord keyboard which can talk over Bluetooth. Next stop is to build the case….
