USB keyboard shield

Hello,

I’m interested in creating following project.

I would like to monitor keyboard usage, if no key pressed for more than 60 minutes script should be executed.

I think biggest hurdle is monitoring usb keyboard.

I think Arduino + USB shield is the answer combined with this project

Any suggestions?

Would this project work with Uno R3?,

it specifies Leonardo only, I can’t seem to find USB Host Shield just clones, which I want to avoid.

Thank you

Can't you just monitor it in software on the host PC? Just a few lines in python could do the job.

Thank you, I would rather avoid doing that and keep it self contained but thank you

In that case, no that project is designed for a 32u4. It probably won't work for an 328P(Uno) without a ground-up rebuild.
