To take advantage of the board's HID, we recommend some sort of input. The analog joystick provides a few
inputs to test our the keyboard and mouse in example 2.

Qwiic Enabled Device

You can also easily connect a Qwiic enabled device to the Qwiic connector. Below is an example of a distance
sensor connected to the Qwiic Pro Micro. If you have an installation with a kiosk with the screensaver turned on,
you could use the Qwiic Pro Micro to wake it up by moving a mouse if there is someone within a certain distance
of the VL53L1X sensor.
