Alternative Keyboard for Pocket BASIC Computer

Hi guys,

Are there any alternatives to the xbox chatpad in the Pocket BASIC Computer e.g. one that interfaces with the arduino's RX pin without being programmed manually?

Thanks

You could also use only the pcb of a ps/2 keyboard and make a small matrix with small tactile switches (just only for the keys you need) . its just a lot of work to figure out the connections on the keyboards pcb.
..going further: you could add a ps/2 connector on the outside of your Pocket computer and use your pocket computer as keyboard of a regular PC. like Dual-typing in both units at the same time...--> this way you could simultaniously write BASIC code, and "record" it on your pc.

I think that a chatpad is probably the only option unless you multiplex some tact switches and make your own.
