Sending keyboard data to a PC

Hi,

I have been looking through the Human input section of the Obex looking for an object I could use / modify to be able to send keystrokes to a PC. Nothing jumps out as a possible.

Is sending keystrokes something that anyone has ever attempted or with which they have succeeded?

Thanks

Hugh

    Problem needs to be defined in more detail

    Sorry...

    I would like to connect a Prop to the PS2 interface of a PC and send keystrokes to it so that the PC thinks a keyboard is typing it.

    Just do it ;-)
    More detailed: as you can connect a keyboard to the ps2 connector of different propeller boards, the protocol should be simple and part of the demo software. (IIRC full duplex serial does the job).
    So if you send the key codes from a propeller, it should work!

    IIRC there was a thread a while back about emulating a keyboard. Not sure if anything came of it, but there is an object in the obex for receiving data from a ps2 keyboard that would be a starting point.
