I've used the BlueGiga WT12 Bluetooth units, and it helps if the USB device can support both modes, (we used it for a blue tooth barcode scanner project)
we used USB HID KBD for direct input into fields and we also offered USB HID SERIAL to the device was a serial port, so the application could receive keyboard (scanner input over serial)
@ianfinlayAustralia I dont get what you're saying.... USB HID is a device which communicates using serial and follows the HID standards... as you probably know. The netduino handles setting up that code so the computer sees it as a USB HID device, more specifically a keyboard. I dont know what usb hid serial is.
@ianfinlayAustralia if you mean can I remove the netduino from the equation and still make a keyboard that the computer will recognize, I dont think so. The netduino sets up a USB Client which the screen cant do and the USB serial cable is already recognized as that, and wouldn't be able to even allow the screen to simulate a usb client.
HI,
what I meant was USB HID devices can be either:
USB HID KEYBOARD
USB HID SERIAL

Great: Is it easy enough to change the code to be a HID Serial Keyboard?
