Based on a response to my note about having PS/2 keyboard routines that can output parallel ASCII, I thought I'd mention that I took some time these past few nights to clean up my PS2Encoder project. The original project supported: * converting AT and PS/2 keyboard data into parallel with strobe * Capturing CTRL/ALT/DEL keystroke and triggering active low output upon receipt. * RS232 output * Hobbyist friendly 28 pin .300" DIP package layout I've added the following features: * Removal of crystal requirement. While the code can be compiled for one, it is no required for operation * CAPS LOCK works (I have not gotten the code that updates the LED to work yet, but the interface adjusts to uppercase) * Ability to configure interface via keyboard itself * Ability to set parallel strobe to be active low or active high * Ability to set ENTER to send CR or CRLF * Ability to set inter-char holdoff from 0 to 2550uS, in 10uS increments * Ability to set BS to send either BS or DEL * Ability to set RS232 speed (2400,4800,9600,19200,38400) * Ability to save settings permanently in EEPROM The code is available (or will be, as soon as I post it) under GPL (v2), but I'm wondering a few things: * Any other features folks might find handy? I can't promise things (someone suggested full keyboard mapping, which I am still thinking about. It's not a technical issue per se, more a user interface one), but I can try * Anyone interested in a programmed IC for $20.00 (shipping in US included)?
