Any SbC with OTG support should work, so both Zero W and Zero 2 W should be compatible (I tested it with RPi Zero 2 W—I will update the docs). https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/…

Actually, I meant to say Pi Zero 2 W as well. But basically, any device that supports USB OTG

Not at the moment, I might look into it as I've received the request a few times now. So stay tuned! :)

My pleasure, @reeddavid! I’m excited that you might find a use for it. Just a quick note: you may need an external power source for the RPi if you’re switching between devices freq…

Thank you so much!

Oh interesting, I can see how something like that would be useful for myself as well. I think you just gave me some good ideas for future projects as I have a few ideas around usin…

I know, it seemed to me like a pretty arbitrary policy as well, but what can you do other than turning limitations into opportunities? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would be interested to know too, be sure to let me know how it goes!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I had thought about this as well but came to the conclusion that from the company's perspective, this is no different than connecting a random …

Not quite, if your PC has a policy that disables Bluetooth, a BT dongle would not work either. That’s where this relay comes in—it bridges Bluetooth to USB, so you can still use yo…

Oops, I hope you can still return it! I'm glad you might find this useful, be sure to create an issue on GH in case you run into any and I'll try my best to help :)

Thank you, I'm glad you're finding this inspiring. I've been thinking about some similar ideas that excite me. Would be happy to help as well if you ran into any blockers.

Thank you! I think that's a fair point about potentially wasted resources, something like Pico would have been and a leaner choice if this was going to be mass-produced. But for me…

Thank you! Great question. I can see this being fairly easily extendable to other HID devices and even modifying their behaviour slightly (e.g. remapping a key) but audio stack sou…

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you're finding it interesting! ^^

Hi HN! I built Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay, a tool that lets Bluetooth devices (like keyboards and mice) connect to USB-only hosts using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Why? My friend ne…
