Product description: Mini keyboard CardKB V1.1 ATmega8A - Unit expansion module for M5Stack development modules - U035-B
Mini Keyboard CardKB version V1.1 equipped with ATmega8A MCU. Despite its small size of 88 x 54 x 5 mm , it can also be implemented as a fully functional QWERTY keyboard . The CardKB V1.1 keyboard has as many as 50 buttons , arranged in an ergonomic way, thanks to which it is also possible to declare individual combinations . Communication between the modules takes place via the Grove connection cable and the I2C bus included in the set.

Description of possible button combinations
- Single key press - displays the first value pressed, e.g. if a key with the symbol "Q" is pressed, it will display "q".
- Sym + key - displays the second value pressed on the keyboard, e.g. if the "Sym" key is pressed and then the "Q" key - the "{" symbol will be displayed. If the "Sym" key has been pressed twice, the symbol function will be disabled and each subsequent press will cause the symbols to be displayed.
