# PI-Remote-HID

Requirements:

Raspberry Pi Zero W (Could work with other devices, I haven't tested, my steps are for the Raspberry Pi Zero W)

A microSD card with 16GB of storage and a reader.

A micro-USB to USB-A/USB-C cable.

## Step 1: Flash the OS

Download <https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/> and run it.

Select "Raspberry Pi Zero" in the device option and click on next.

Click on Raspberry Pi OS (other) then Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) then click on next. (You could use another distro, but I would just recommend raspberry Pi OS Lite, since it's optimized for the hardware.
