I'd like to be able to send keyboard output to 2 to 3 pc's using one
keyboard. Any ideas on the easiest way to accomplish this?
Ideally, I could hook a keyboard to the stamp with a pak6 coprocessor
and hook the stamp up serially to a pc. Using a vb program, I could
accept keystrokes through the stamp from the keyboard, and depending
on which button was pressed, send instructions back to the stamp to
output a keystroke or a series of keystrokes (like a macro) to the pc
associated with that button.
Any idea on the best way to send the keystrokes? Buy ir keyboards
and immitate they keyboard ir output using the stamp? Indirectly
interface with the pc's ps2 ports from the stamp? Use servos to
press the buttons? :P Grab some stepper motors and build some
sliders and make a 3 axis cnc-like hunt and peck machine? :P
