You should only add one thing: if you used the dongle or SER-001 to connect
the Kbd.
I am pretty sure (I cannot check it right now because my Kbd is at home)that
without using the dongle you would need to switch the Newt on with plugged
Kbd in order to get it recognised. (there is a special pin on the dongle to
force that initialisation, thus there is no need to switch the Newt on/off
in order to get the Kbd recognised)
