Is it possible to connect a USB keyboard and a 5-inch IPS screen to the Blue Swan? In the case of the screen, what pins should it have or can you recommend one to me?

Hi @pedrogmnz and welcome to the Blues community!
The only keyboard I’ve ever used with a Swan is this (now discontinued) keyboard featherwing I used in [this Starnote project on Hackster](https://www.hackster.io/rob-lauer/two-way-satellite-messaging-with-blues-starnote-2140e8). Other than that, hopefully someone else can chime in here re: a keyboard.
On the display side, you’re going to want to use a driver board [like the RA8875](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1590). Adafruit has a lot of nice display options along with good tutorials to follow. The Swan has plenty of I/O to accommodate multiple peripherals.

Yes, I saw your project and found it impressive. I will probably write to you later to ask for information about it, as I am a novice with IoT devices. Regarding the keyboard, I want to try using a regular USB one, but I can’t find any information about it with STM32 and even less with Blue Swan. And thanks for the screen controller!
