iOS Switch Control on a Budget using Bluetooth Keyboards

[@xenlein]

Perfect for the gigging musician who needs a pedal to turn pages. Just stick something raised and colourful on the two buttons you're going to use. Works a treat. Thank you!

Thanks for this. I copied this technique and set up an ESP32 as a BLE keyboard and used it to trigger switch control. Endless possibilities

[@driftercarbon]

Thank you, sir. Since I couldn't find a way to control youtube on my iPhone using my IOS wireless keyboard, this serves as a unusual and slow but effective way to do all that. Now I can watch videos while my phone is inserted into a VR headset! Hooray for outside the box thinking to solve problems involving not being able to touch things because they're inside a box!

What is the name of the numeric switch keyboard please? I want to buy one :-)

Incredibly intuitive ideas with countless possibilites and options for automation

[@samleonard7752]

Hey how do you make it so you can press two keys at once and activate a different switch???

[@ATMakersOrg]

That's all Chris's code (he's @cyborg55 on Twitter)... he's got code that watches for "chords" and then sends different keystrokes to the phone.

How do you do swipes i saw another comment on this but it didn’t make sense can anyone help?

[@idlewildwind]

Oh my word, thank you!!! Dedicated adaptive devices are so expensive and hard to buy, but these numpads are affordable and easily available everywhere. Can this be done with any bluetooth numpad or does it need to be prewired to work with iOS/Apple devices? (iClever don't make these any more because old video...)

[@ATMakersOrg]

Any standard Bluetooth keyboard can be mapped to IOS Switch Control inputs.

[@idlewildwind]

@@ATMakersOrg Thank you for the reply! :)

This is really great thank you! I can use this as a developer to test my app against Switch Control.

Great video... buying a numerical keyboard right now! My students will love this!

[@jabuticaba2000]

Nice! Thx! How do u assign swipes tho?

[@smorris7741]

You can activate swipes through the pop-up menu that appears when you select an item.
