Keyboard Layout

You can check Arduino’s built-in keyboard layouts here. By default, sketches use KeyboardLayout_en_US. To change it to e.g. German, pass the layout to the Keyboard.begin(layout) function:

#include <Keyboard.h>

void setup() {
  delay(5000);
  Keyboard.begin(KeyboardLayout_de_DE);
  ...
  Keyboard.end();
}

void loop() {
}

Layouts currently included

• KeyboardLayout_da_DK: Denmark
• KeyboardLayout_de_DE: Germany
• KeyboardLayout_en_US: USA
• KeyboardLayout_es_ES: Spain
• KeyboardLayout_fr_FR: France
• KeyboardLayout_hu_HU: Hungary
• KeyboardLayout_it_IT: Italy
• KeyboardLayout_pt_PT: Portugal
• KeyboardLayout_sv_SE: Sweden

Because the product has no vendor-locked firmware with a built-in interpreter, you can use any C code and keyboard layout you want. For example, you can use a library like KeyboardUTF8 by JohnWasser (Arduino IDE: Sketch → Include Library → Add .ZIP Library...) or write your own layout based on e.g. http://kbdlayout.info.

For example:

• Swiss KeyboardLayout_de_CH

#include <Keyboard.h>

void setup() {
  delay(5000);
  Keyboard.begin(KeyboardLayout_de_CH);
  // ... your code ...
  Keyboard.end();
}

void loop() {
}
