Hey guys! Just ordered a RPI pico to do some testing for future projects. I saw there’s going to be a new keybow that has an RPI built in.
Do you think it’s possible to use my existing keybow with a RPI pico? I’m kinda new to this world.

It’s likely doable. You won’t be able to just plug your PICO in though. You’ll have to do some jumpering from one to the other. And likely play around with the code to make it work.

Sweet. I’m planning on making a custom case for my keybow anyways so i need an extension cable anyways.
