Keyboard Emulator

TexFly

Hello Everyone,

I'm new with to the Propeller micro and I have a question...

Can I emulate USB keyboards?

I need to send keystrokes to a pc from a microcontroller...

Thanks!

I think there is USB software for the Propeller, but there are easier and cheaper ways to do it.

I thought since we can "read" the keyboard we could send out ;-(

So, is it the same for the PS2 keyboard?

Yes, with the use of 3 pins and 3 resistors the Propeller is more than capable of emulating a USB keyboard.

You just have to write the PS2 software.

Lot of work.
