Keyboard issues using Etherkey

[artyb55]

Hi,
Thank you for your work on HID_Project and for releasing it as open source.

I've been trying to use a Leonardo compatible Arduino with Etherkey to create keypresses on a USB connector so that the device behaves like a computer controlled USB keyboard (following the modified code from https://www.sjoerdlangkemper.nl/2022/11/16/running-etherkey-on-arduino-leonardo/).

The code uses the Arduino keyboard library, and also some code in Etherkey.

I can create most of the key presses I need to, but some create the wrong characters compare to how the keyboard is labelled. Both computers have keyboards set to EN_GB (or UK) layout, rather than the EN_US that these libraries use.

I haven't been able to send a pipe (|) using these programs either (it's on a different key on GB/UK keyboards to US ones), it shows as a pipe on the controlling PC, but is mapped to ~ on the remote PC.

Because of these issues I'd like to change to using EN_GB (or UK) layout, so found your project after some searching.

I can get it to compile by replacing the Arduino library, but the keypresses are very wrong, eg return generates a bracket.

Any advice welcome!

BW,
A
