Raspberry Pi Zero 2 On PicoCalc

[n602_na]

For mouse emulation,I refer to this:
“Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc” Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc - #210 by hisptoot

Right shift key is mouse mode toggle key in new kbd driver.
Arrow keys control mouse move and square bracket keys control mouse button.
Mouse mode should be useful in pico8 editor.

I installed hisptoot linux (buildroot)_20250419 version and confirmed it.
At that time, I was trying various things, so I don’t know exactly what process enabled mouse emulation.

If this is related to the keyboard firmware,
Keyboard_firmware in hisptoot’s Google Drive described in

Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc

I spent half a day on setting up the buildroot , a whole day on developing lcd and kbd drivers and another whole day on fixing some bugs. Now it runs linux on picocalc. Image for test: If you use the version with spi nand, please erase the spi nand. Otherwise, the board will boot from the spi nand, not the sd card [Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc] [1000125393] [1000125394] [1000125395]

may be what will do it.

Or it could be the official latest keyboard firmware

PicoCalc/Bin at master · clockworkpi/PicoCalc

PicoCalc_BIOS_v1.2.bin (Keyboard firmware)

Can someone try this?

For “PicoCalc and RasPiZERO2W”, I prototyped a PiZero cover for the back panel of the modified PicoCalc and uploaded it to Thingiverse.
I also described how to make a simple relay board.
It looks like this.

Yes! Mouse is working great on v1.2

if you can make a board as plug and play i would absolutely buy one !

[michael_mayer]

You have connected the usb to go external, this is a nice touch!

Here is my new hardware, it can be fit inside the orginal case!

Where are you getting power for the zero ?.
