From the project
KiCad files for creating a tiny hoboNicola adapter using Seeed studio XIAO RP2040.
This project provides KiCad 6.11 PCB design files for building a hoboNicola adapter using the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 and the pico-pio-usb library. By assembling the XIAO, a USB Type-A receptacle, and a few passives, you can convert a standard USB keyboard into an almost-NICOLA (thumb-shift) keyboard. The adapter receives HID input as a USB host, processes it with the hoboNicola firmware, and outputs transformed HID reports to the connected PC.
