well, I accidentally made a keyboard backwards. that's a new thing.

I needed a USB keyboard that responded to BT Serial commands. I accidentally made a BT keyboard that responds to USB serial commands

okay I made instead a keyboard that listens for UDP packets.

if you send it a single byte UDP packet, it types that key. there is no authentication. you just need to know that you have to send it to port 8365

I now have an HTTP proxy for my keyboard. You just hit http://localhost:5000/65 and it'll send the UDP for you, so it types an "A"
