QT Py ESP32-C3 with ESP bluetooth keyboard library

Post by Dtodd6 »

Does anyone know if the ESP bluetooth keyboard library (https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard) will work with the new QT Py ESP32-C3?

There is an open issue in the ESP BLE Keyboard repo where a contributors claims their ESP32-C3 is working with minimal pin changes.

I was curious, and that bug report says to change 5/6 (the I2C pins) to 18/19 (the traditional I2C pins in Arduino systems). Unfortunately, the QT PY ESP32-C3 does not provide pins 18/19 as listed in the pinout. Both the SDA/SCL pins on the outside and the Qwiic I2C connector uses pins 5/6. Now perhaps the bug report was backwards, and it meant change 18/19 to 5/6. But you really should use the names SDA and SCL instead of hard coding either 5/6 or 18/19.
