Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to interface a PS/2 keyboard or mouse to the BS2.

Thanks,

Bryan

    Multilabs makes both a PS/2 keyboard interface and a PS/2 mouse interface that work with the BS2
    Here's a link for the ezKey: www.multilabs.net/ezKEY.html.
    You need some support hardware external to the Stamp for any PS/2 interface and this is a relatively cheap and complete solution.

    hi mike,

    what i meant to ask was can you interface the BS2 to the PS2 on a PC?

    Have a look here .. http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=627711

    it may be an option for you ... basically a program that runs on your p.c waiting for serial input (from your BS2) .. when it receives the data it injects it into the keyboard buffer as if typed on the p.c..
