If so, here are some I find in my various PIClist archives. I hope they're helpful. -- Mitch Mitch Miller, Omaha, NE .....mdmiller2KILLspam@spam@home.com ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/steve_lawther/ucindex.htm http://www.arne.si/~mauricio/PIC.HTM And these that Mark Willis once provided (back in July of '98) ... http://www.mbhs.edu/~ojenkins/wearable/fiddler.html (Omar Jenkin's Basic Stamp equivalent to Tim's & my project) ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/steve_lawther/keybinfo.htm (Steve's PC Keyboard info) http://www.arne.si/~mauricio/PIC.HTM (MAX's PIC Projects - has routines for BOTH ends of the AT-Keyboard link.

Thanks to Mitchell and James for its email. I have found a place where it is software that I look for, but does not work correctly. I believe that it is by protocol problems. I have written to the author to know as I can solve it. Greetings. Jose Antonio Gracia

Hello, On the subject of keyboards, Reynolds Electronics do a serial keypad interface. (You read the keypad through RS232 commands saving loads of i/o pins and code writing on your host controller) See http://www.rentron.com - and look for serial keypad. Just thought I'd let you know. Very Best Regards, Darren

Thanks Darren I have seen site, but what I need is to manage a keyboard of 4 xs 4, from which I must obtain 20 keys (by pulsation of combinations of 2 keys) The connection to the PC must be " obligatorily " by the port of the keyboard.

Tony Kubeks PC Keyboard emulator for the PIC16F84 has been renamed "PiCboard", updated, tested and works (at least on his keyboard <GRIN>). A previous version of this code has been used on many PC's without problems. Features include, alt-key remapping, automatic key repeat, and using a small keyboard matrix to provide many standard PC key codes. The source code is more of a tutorial on PC Keyboard interface than the author is willing to admit; this is how most programs * should be * commented. There is an excellent schematic as well.
