HID Keyboard & Mouse
The HID API allows you to make your CampZone 2020 badge act like a keyboard and mouse over USB. You can use it to type text, press key combinations, and click or move the mouse cursor.
Available on: ✅ CampZone 2020
Example
import hid, keycodes
hid.keyboard_type("Cyber")
Reference
| Function | Parameters | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyboard_type | text | - | Automatically sends the right key press and release events for the keys needed to type a text. Will use the SHIFT modifier for uppercase keys too. Blocks until the whole text has been typed. |
| keyboard_press_keys | keys, [modifier] | - | Send key down commands over USB for the given keys. The optional modifier can be used to convey pressing ctrl, alt, shift, or the GUI/Windows button. |
| keyboard_release_keys | - | - | Cancels all current key presses by sending a release command. |

A more complex example
import hid, keycodes, time
# Presses ctrl+alt+delete
keys = bytes([keycodes.DELETE])
modifier = bytes([keycodes.MOD_LEFT_CONTROL & keycodes.MOD_LEFT_ALT])
hid.keyboard_press_keys(keys, modifier)
time.sleep(0.1)
hid.keyboard_release()
Known problems
- The USB mouse interface is not yet present in the firmware at time of writing. A future Over-the-Air update will include it.
