Ask HN: Tool for remotely simulating a keyboard peripheral

1 points by andbberger 8y ago ↗ HN

In a bit of a pickle. I am here, workstation is a couple hundred of miles away, and not booting after a crash. Data center (house) remote hands (friends) can't fix it. So I'm flying out unless I can simulate a keyboard remotely.

Any ideas?

Arduino Leonardo or Similar. In the examples there is one that will let it enumerate as keyboard/mouse. Should be straightforward to make a simple serial Bridge to a working computer to allow you to type.
