Keyman64 | |
Programmable C64 keyboard interceptor and hardware control system | |
The keyman64 is a programmable keyboard interceptor and hardware | |
control system for computers equipped with a simple 64-key matrix | |
keyboard. | |
It is installed between the keyboard and the computer, continually | |
scanning the keyboard matrix and relaying the keyboard state to the | |
computer using a crosspoint switch. To the computer, the crosspoint | |
switch matrix looks just like a physical keyboard, while the keyman64 | |
gains the ability to intercept keystrokes and control the matrix seen | |
by the computer. | |
The keyman64 can be configured to intercept special key combinations | |
and invoke arbitrary sequences of commands to alter the state of | |
sixteen general purpose control lines provided on the board. These | |
lines can be used to control additional hardware instead of using | |
physical buttons or switches. | |
Additional features include the ability to send predefined keyboard | |
macros or to redefine the keyboard layout. Commands can also be sent | |
from a remote PC via USB, or send on simple serial wire interface, | |
allowing remote control from either a PC or another microcontroller or | |
similar device. | |
For some concrete examples of what the keyman64 can do, see the | |
