# Jio Set Top Box Ad Skipper with Raspberry Pi Pico
2+
3+
This project enables you to skip ads that appear when the Jio Set Top Box boots up using a RP2040 microcontroller. By interfacing the Raspberry Pi Pico with the Jio Set Top Box, you can automate the process of skipping ads, providing a less annoying viewing experience.

5+
## How it Works
6+
7+
The Raspberry Pi Pico emulates the USB Human Interface Device (HID) typically used by keyboards/mice etc. When the Jio Set Top Box boots up, it powers on the RP2040 and it sends HID keycodes to Jio STB. The HID Alt+Escape keycode is used to skip the ads, allowing the viewer to proceed directly to the home screen.
