From the project

A flashier successor to the PicoFX

Q: Can I buy a pre-assembled and ready-to-use PicoLX from you? A: Not yet. Maybe in the future! Never hurts to ask, I occasionally have spare units sitting around.

Q: How do I change between keyboard, controller, and PIUIO mode? A: Controller and keyboard mode are both part of one firmware, and PIUIO mode requires its own firmware. To toggle between keyboard and controller mode, hold the inner button on the right hand side of the PicoLX while plugging it in. The PIUIO firmware is set to PIUIO mode at all times.
