alexm963 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Ok, I've tried using the search and came up short. I have a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian. I would like to basically simulate a keyboard and send a string to the Pi from a USB port on my system into one of the USB ports on the Pi. Is this possible? My system will running Windows 7. I just need to know if I'm chasing something that isn't possible. Edited February 19, 2018 by alexm963
SlackerAl Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 This link asks almost the same question. The short answer is, not easily and it looks like you would require additional hardware. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4706849/how-to-send-keystrokes-from-one-computer-to-another-by-usb Problem solving step 1: Write a simple, self-contained, running, replicator of your problem.
Qwerty212 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Maybe using an Arduino Leonardo ?? You can hook the Leonardo to the Raspberry and interact with the Leonardo from the Windows computer (maybe with another Arduino via RX-TX pins, maybe with a Bluetooth serial, maybe with a serial port adapter...) It all depends of your bucket for the project... Can we get some more details? Just for curiosity Greets from Barcelona
