Adafruit CH9328 UART to HID Keyboard Breakout

Elevate your hardware projects with the Adafruit CH9328 UART to HID Keyboard Breakout. This innovative chip allows you to emulate a keyboard on devices without native USB support, expanding the capabilities of your classic microcontrollers, single-board computers, and more. Whether you're working with an ATmega328 Uno, an original ESP32, or even a Raspberry Pi, the CH9328 offers a versatile solution for creating keyboard inputs.

 

The CH9328 is a programmed microcontroller that enumerates as a HID keyboard, converting ASCII or 8-byte raw reports into keypresses. This functionality is especially useful for projects that require keyboard emulation without the need for native USB. With its easy-to-use design, including a USB Type C port for convenient connectivity and on-board configuration switches, this breakout board simplifies the process of adding keyboard functionality to your devices.

• Works with a wide range of microcontrollers and single-board computers, including ATmega328, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi.

• No soldering required with the included support circuitry and JST SH cable option for solderless functionality.

• Switchable modes for different ASCII and HID report needs, providing flexibility for various applications.

• USB Type C port for easy connection to computers, laptops, phones, and tablets.
• Simple 9600 baud 3V-logic signal compatibility for UART communication.

• Accessible 5V power and Ground pads, along with a UART RX receive input and reset line for hard resets.

• Compatible with the CH9328 library for advanced configurations and seamless integration into your projects.

Upgrade your hardware projects with the Adafruit CH9328 UART to HID Keyboard Breakout and enjoy the simplicity and versatility it brings. Don't let the lack of native USB support limit your creativity—unlock new possibilities today!
