# A simple example of how to set up a keymap and HID keyboard on Keybow 2040.
# You'll need to connect Keybow 2040 to a computer, as you would with a regular
# USB keyboard.
# Drop the keybow2040.py file into your `lib` folder on your `CIRCUITPY` drive.
# NOTE! Requires the adafruit_hid CircuitPython library also!
