We've been working for a while to unify DIY builds and simplify instructions. The result was a **new DIY platform V1, which replaced V0**.

- The old Arduino HID was replaced by a new one based on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
|
|
- **The Pico HID uses an SPI connection and leaves the UART on the Raspberry free** so that you can connect a USB-TTL adapter and use a serial console. Hurray!
|
|
- Also, **the new HID has full PS/2 mouse support**, not just the keyboard, as before.
|
|
- It is much easier and faster to make than the old V0 build with Arduino.
|
|
- Among other things, **now we're providing ready-made OS images for all DIYs. You will no longer have to build them yourself**.
|
|
|
|
From this day on, V0 on Arduino is declared obsolete and consigned to oblivion. Instructions for its assembly are no longer available, except for the [Arduino HID](https://docs.pikvm.org/arduino_hid/) page. If you need an Arduino HID for anything, use the new [Pico HID](https://docs.pikvm.org/pico_hid/). The Pico HID is also capable of working as an in-place replacement for the Arduino HID, in case you need to replace it on your old V0.
|
|
|
|
**OS images and updates for V0 will still be coming out. That is, V0 support will be continued. We only deprecate the instructions.**
|
|
|
|
**The assembly instructions for the PiKVM V2 have also been updated—this is greatly simplified and systematized.**
