| 3 | This is a one-key WiFi UDP 'keyboard'. | |

5 | The hardware is a Raspberry Pi Pico W in a 3d-printed shell connected |
| 6 | to a Cherry MX key switch. | |

| 8 | The client software that runs on the device connects to a WiFi network | |
| 9 | and sends UDP packets to an address specified in `client/config.c`. | |
| 10 | It transmits each keypress several times for reliability, with relative | |
| 11 | timestamps so the server can determine the time of every press without | |
| 12 | the device needing to synchronize a clock. | |

14 | The server software collects, logs, and de-duplicates keypress reports. |

| 16 | The housing grips the pico by the edges through spring force; you'll need | |
| 17 | to squeeze the housing flat (eg: with a clamp) to deform it slightly to | |
| 18 | allow the pico board to slide in and out easily. Note that the housing is | |
| 19 | subtly _not symmetrical_: There is a top and a bottom. Do not force the | |
| 20 | pico board in upside down or you will destroy the board's bootsel button. | |
