Hi all,
I'm after a keyboard wedge that is controllable via rs-232 (or usb). Does anyone know of anything that is already available on the market?
I need to control a computer from another via its keyboard port.
I know it would make a fun project with a HC705 - but I'm trying to avoid picking up the soldering iron.
Appologies if this isn't the most appropriate newsgroup - slim pickings on my server I'm afraid.
Cheers, Brad
You should be able to Get a full software Wedge. It can get chars form the Com Port a dump them in the keyboard buffer. If it is windows check MSDN to a window group. I think there is an API to put chars in the buffer.
the Com
window
Assuming the OP runs PC hardware and Windoze.....

Google for "PS/2 RS232" gives:

Well said Meindert.
I need real scan codes going to a machine thats not a PC and not running windows.
Thanks for the reply anyway.
Thanks.
I had a google and came across vetra, but using different keywords, produced a result that didn't lead me to that product. I only ended up seeing the opposite - ps/2 to serial.
It seems Hagstrom electronics also offer a range of keyboard devices as well.
Cheers, Brad
PERCOM makes several devices that can be used as wedges. They originally were just drivers for bar code readers. They have multiple inputs and output combinations, including standard PC keyboard (wedge) options.
