## Description

An easy way to add a handheld Qwerty keyboard and a 2.6” color display (+ more) to your project!

It fits well in your hands and is great for typing with your thumbs, early 2000s-style.

**Note: This is a Revision 2 of the Keyboard FeatherWing, it changes the touch driver to the TSC2004 and adds an Ambient Light Sensor. Otherwise, the dimensions and GPIO assignments are the same as in Revision 1.**

**Note: The FeatherWing itself does not contain an MCU/CPU/SoC that you can program; you will need a board compatible with the [Adafruit Feather System](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather/feather-specification).**

[Depending on your Feather choice](https://core-electronics.com.au/collections/feather), this FeatherWing can become a Linux terminal, a CircuitPython REPL, a WiFi client or server, a BLE peripheral, a LoRa communicator, and so much more!

**Features and Technical details**![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/2021-06-28T23_19_29_14980e16648.png)

- **2.6" 320x240 16-bit color LCD with resistive touch screen** - The LCD driver (ILI9341) is interfaced over SPI, the touch driver (TSC2004) is interfaced over I2C.
- **QWERTY keyboard** - A BB Q10 keyboard connected to a SAMD20, the key FIFO can be easily accessed over I2C.
- **5-way button** - Great for navigating menus, also connected to the SAMD.
- **4 soft tactile buttons** - Feel very nice to press, use them for whatever function you want; also connected to the SAMD.
- **Neopixel** - Allows you to show the status of your board.
- **Ambient Light Sensor** - Connected to Analog pin 5, can be used to dim the backlight based on the ambient light levels.
- **microSD connector** - Gotta keep those photos and other files somewhere, am I right?
- **Stemma QT/Qwiic connector** - Opens the door to an ecosystem of dozens, if not hundreds, of Stemma QT/Qwiic boards.
- **On/Off switch** - Connected to the Feather Enable pin, turns off the Feather at LDO level (varies between Feathers), as well as 5V.
- **GPIO expander** - The SAMD20 also doubles as a I2C GPIO expander, you can access the Touch INT, and Card Detect over the expander, also there are a few test points for extra GPIOs.
- **Dual row sockets** - Thanks to these, you can still access the Feather pins even when the Feather is plugged in!
- **Four mounting holes** - Use these for enclosures or to attach a lanyard.
- **GPIO solder jumpers** - Almost all GPIOs can be disconnected from the FeatherWing, just in case you have something else in mind for them.

This FeatherWing makes it simple to use your Feather on-the-go with the LCD serving as output and the Keyboard acting as input. Thanks to the Stemma QT/Qwiic connector, you can attach various sensors to the Wing and process and display the incoming data.

The possibilities are limitless!

**What you get**An assembled Keyboard FeatherWing PCB with the Qwerty keyboard and 2.6” color display installed. Just add the [Feather](https://core-electronics.com.au/collections/feather) of your choice, and you're ready to go!

**Optional Buy**If you would like to use the Keyboard FeatherWing with a [Raspberry Pi Pico](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico.html), you can optionally add the [RPi Pico Adapter board](https://core-electronics.com.au/products/raspberry-pi-pico-adapter-for-keyboard-featherwing). The Pico itself is not included!
