Gentlepeople,
I've been having problems with broken LK201s, so as a workaround I created an adapter
that connects to a standard PC USB keyboard and makes it look like an LK201. It's
based on an Arduino (specifically, Adafruit Trinket M0, an amazingly tiny yet powerful
small microprocessor).
It's working at this point, though it needs a few small software tweaks to make it
complete. I'm going to turn my breadboard into something slightly more polished.
Question to the list: is this something that would be of interest to others? If yes, I
can make the design available. Perhaps the PCB layout and parts list. I don't think
I want to get into building units for others, though.

Ok, I have a working device. The whole design can be found on Github:
https://github.com/pkoning2/lk201emu
As I mentioned before, I'm not providing parts, kits, or devices.
Comments and feedback will be appreciated.
