Hello,
I did a search and could not find what I was looking for. I have a small project I want to do that requires the use of a USB keyboard as input to a PIC. It seems most of the examples out there are to have the PIC look like a keyboard. Maybe I am just searching wrong...  |

it'd probably be easier to find a PS/2 kbd into PIC program.......
your problem is that the PIC would have to be a 'master' USb device...not the 'slave'., or whatever they call them... |

Vinculum VNC-1 or VNC-2 ?? been years since I played with them....
I never read the 3-4000 pages of 'how USB works', just KNOW that RS-232 works a LOT better 
there should be a zillion PS/2 keyboards for FREE, it'd make life a LOT easier for you. |
