Can the Pico RGB Keyboard and Keybow 2040. run the same code.py

I will hold my hands up that this should be a obvious question. But no matter how I try I cant get the same code.py to work on both devices. I have copied the same libraries across to each but is there some obvious I am missing. Perhaps my 2040 is not running circuitpython :(

I think my code is just rubbish and I should try again :(
What i am trying to do is build two pads with multiple layers that can send key commands to Windows and control multimedia keys. I can do the first bit and have working code that allows different layers, but I cant mix the key commands and mulitmedia keys? i have based all my code on examples found on github so perhaps it is a case of going back to square one and learn to program in circuitpython

Maybe this will help.

Thanks for this. I will give it a try. I have read the instructions at GitHub - matemaciek/keybow2040-circuitpython: CircuitPython library for the Pimoroni Keybow 2040</titl and notice that you need to

Hardware-independent part

Finally, drop the lib contents ( keybow2040.py file and keybow_hardware folder) from this library into the lib folder on your CIRCUITPY drive also, and you’re all set!

Which lib is this referring to? thanks again :)

Is this the location for keybow_hardware folder? GitHub - matemaciek/keybow2040-circuitpython: CircuitPython library for the Pimoroni Keybow 2040</titl

Yes, that’s the correct place to get it from.
