In this video, I’ll show you how I built a simple text editor using an ESP32 board with a built-in display, and yes – I connected a standard PC keyboard directly to it! Using HID (Human Interface Device) functionality, the ESP32 can read keyboard inputs, allowing for a surprisingly smooth text editing experience on this compact setup.
To make this mini word processor even more practical, I’ve added SD card support to store and load text files, so your work is saved safely and easily accessible. This project demonstrates the versatility of the ESP32 and opens up endless possibilities for standalone devices with text input capability.
If you're interested in creating your own standalone text editor, follow along to learn how it's done. Let's get coding!
