- fragmede 3y agoraspberry pi's support USB gadget mode, and can thus emulate USB storage with the right connector. TTL-level serial port pins exist as well.
- pests 3y agoThis is how the PiKVM works. It pretends to be a hub with an attached mouse/keyboard (and optionally a flash drive/storage) Then optionally you can connect your motherboards power/reset pins so you can reboot or turn off remotely. Video is a third party HDMI capture card that plugs into the Pis camera port.
- andrewaylett 3y agoThere's nothing particularly stopping you implementing at least most of that in software if you want. Stick a suitably-programmable switch in and you could do the rest too.
- sneak 3y agoExactly my point - this project seems of limited usefulness because it could have done a lot more but didn’t add much utility that a pi+screen+keyboard doesn’t already have.
