Hi!
I'm new to Raspberry Pi, my daughter has Symbrachydactyly and we've decided to start a project together where we are trying to make an enhanced keyboard with accessibility functions to help her with everyday things.
We know there are keyboard macro solutions available elsewhere, but we wanted to learn linux, python and have fun setting up something interesting for fun with the Raspberry Pi 500 that she got for her birthday as a little project to do together.
We want to turn it into a bluetooth Keyboard that can connect to other computers/devices (Windows PC) and is able to function as a bluetooth keyboard once connected, with additional functions to help her with her disability (pressing specific keys would do certain things, such as typing entire words when pressing a single key).
I wanted to find out if its possible to set up the Raspberry Pi 500 as a Bluetooth HID keyboard (Or even a USB one using OTP)? I'm having issues getting it setup to connect to the Windows PC via bluetooth successfully.
Any advice or guidance would be really helpful as we are a little bit stuck after a few days please
