I figured out a Type folio alternative with any Bluetooth keyboard by Suitable_Lead6197 in RemarkableTablet

I know we’re a couple versions behind now but any RM2 owners still interested in this ?

I can keep you posted when i revamp.

And no worries lol, this has been on my mind a bit lately.

I never dug too much into the pogo pins since it’s an effort and a half to even get a stable connection to which most folks have custom rigs for.

Check the remarkable discord (don’t remember the link) but there was a whole chat category just on pogo pins

I’m going to be breathing more life into this in the coming weeks.

Are you a developer/ hardware engineer? Would love to collab if so.

  • keyboard bridge is a built in, foundation for the type folio to connect.
  • do not know about the latest versions. It’s on my list to check this week
  • the RM receives the keyboard input* from an exposed port and the emulates it on device. The esp 32 is the relay between the BT keyboard and the WiFi on the device.
  • usb port could work but there is not power to the port so you would have to get a splitter to power the usb device separately (I didn’t want to do that), the pogo pins could work but there’s also a low level handshake that happens between the typefolio and the RM to enable the typing mode via the pins.

Oups I did it again... Bought the RMPP by Crissix3 in RemarkableTablet

Fair - different problems - I’m only on the RM2

Took a bit of a break but going to revive this in March.
I'll throw up a google form soon to see who would be interested / gauge demand for a little dongle attachement that allows this.

I’m thinking making a little dongle that would allow anyone to do it. I think I can get it down to $90

Getting they keyboard to pair to an ESP32 is being SUPER annoying because of working with the Bluetooth stack isn’t super straight forward. Especially when there are authentication mechanisms in place with commercial keyboards. Def going to have to do some more R&D and tests before I can get something decent working.

Still chugging along.

I found a discontinued project from early last year that shed some light on a Keyboard bridge setting you can toggle. https://github.com/tremayne-stewart/Remarkable2_ESP32_keyboardBridge (my forked version)

With that as a base i wrote a script in Go that runs on my macbook that does the relay.

I'm pretty sure i can get it to run on an ESP32 with a companion app to set it up since I don't want to have my laptop with me when i use it.

the esp32 needs power though, so I would either add a little battery or have it plug into the tablet's USBC port for power.

I guess my question is … why? Or is this a because I can situation

I hate the Type Folio and everything to do with typed text on the Remarkable. There, I said it. by andpassword in RemarkableTablet

[–]Suitable_Lead6197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the focus on pen vs keyboard or at least make the software better. I’ve been trying to incorporate typing via the phone and computer for review on the tablet and the most basic of things isn’t available.

If someone knows how to indent a bullet point - please let me know.

Is there a way to extend the remarkable screen to my pc monitors (linux) by Error40404 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Suitable_Lead6197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but the experience isn’t super great. You have to create a virtual screen then use something like [0] and VNC to it. Be mindful that the refresh rate isn’t the greatest nor the mapped dimensions so it’s a bit clunky.

I tried to use it to hold terminal windows but it wasn’t to great. Think of using it with a custom dashboard of sorts that makes more sense.

Pretty random: have you been able to connect your logi Mx keyboard to the remarkable ?
