Sep 26, 2016 at 6:36 comment added aaa If you want to make it work anywhere near the what a keyboard does, you'll certainly want to make it a bluetooth HID keyboard. Also, you'll probably not want to multiplex the keys in a way that you can't handel specific patterns: www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplained.mspx

Mar 28, 2016 at 18:09 comment added JanG @IgorStoppa I'm currently using a Mac so I don't even have a BIOS to enter haha :) a very useful tip for other people though!
Mar 28, 2016 at 18:08 comment added Igor Stoppa I do not have experience with the Bluetooth version of it, but at least with "normal" Arduinos, I found out that only the UNO could produce the correct sequences to enter BIOS configuration mode. This is due to the fact that the BIOS has very specific expectations. The UNO employs a secondary AVR chip to emulate the USB keyboard and it happens to be compliant with the BIOS expectations. Other Arduinos (nano, due, etc.) that rely on a sw library are not compliant. So you might want to check if you can enter BIOS config mode, before ditching other keyboards.
Mar 28, 2016 at 17:32 comment added JanG That's how I'm going to do it now. I just remembered coming a cross a library for making an USB keyboard that handled everything by itself. I thought I would need to handle lower- and uppercase letters in the code but it turns out you don't need to do that, you send a MODIFIERKEY_SHIFT command.
Mar 28, 2016 at 17:01 comment added Thomas S. What is the problem of accessing a matrix, checking for keys (pressed and typed) and converting to the appropriate character/byte sequence? I don't see how a library would help here much because of the massive configuration. The only tiny problem you need to solve is that pressing multiple keys should be allowed by the circuit (e.g. using diodes in the rows or columns or, if you want to be perfect, for each key).
Mar 28, 2016 at 15:12 comment added JanG @ThomasS. My project is a Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard. I'm sorry for the fuzzy explanation, I updated the question. I hope its a bit better!
