A KVM Without the V (Or the M)
A KVM Without The V (Or The M) No comments by: Jenny List August 2, 2026 Title: Copy Short Link: Copy Many of us will be used to the idea of a KVM, a device that pipes keyboard, video, and mouse over the network from a remote machine to your own. But many remote machines don’t run a GUI, so there’s not always the need for a full video experience. It’s somewhere between an old-fashioned serial terminal and a KVM.

It’s somewhere between an old-fashioned serial terminal and a KVM. The system has two components, a Pi Pico which plugs in to the USB port of any one of a number of machines and has a wireless card, and a Pi Zero which forms the hub.
