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. > [@Pico RGB Keypad Base support in CircuitPython](https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/pico-rgb-keypad-base-support-in-circuitpython/17496): > > Hello! Just letting anyone interested now that I’ve forked Kebow 2040 library so it supports both Keybow 2040 and Pico RGB Keypad Base: Feel free to comment with suggestions (-: ---

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](https://github.com/matemaciek/keybow2040-circuitpython#hardware-independent-part) 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?
