How to use a PS/2 Keyboard Encoder with interrupts.

phoenixcomm

imageHow many PS/2 keyboards do you have? More than one, I'd bet. Well, stop trying to hang them on your tree, and use them not the whole thing just the encoder. BTW that's the little black thing on the rear.

1----DATA
3----GROUND
4----+5 V DC at 275 ma
5----CLLK

Of the six pins, we will only use four (4) of them. So what do we need? This will use an Arduino, and get this library:
Reference > Libraries > Ps2keyboard
This library is compatible with all architectures and boards.

Lib Code My Code   this code has NOT been tested. 

PS2Keyboard keyboard;
void setup() { delay(1000); keyboard.begin(DataPin, IRQpin);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Keyboard Test:"); }
void loop() { if (keyboard.available()) { // read the next key char c = keyboard.read(); // check for some of the special keys
if (c == PS2_ENTER) { Serial.println(); }
else if (c == PS2_TAB) { Serial.print("[Tab]"); } else if (c == PS2_ESC) { Serial.print("[ESC]"); }
else if (c == PS2_PAGEDOWN) { Serial.print("[PgDn]"); }
else if (c == PS2_PAGEUP) { Serial.print("[PgUp]"); }
else if (c == PS2_LEFTARROW) { Serial.print("[Left]"); }
else if (c == PS2_RIGHTARROW) { Serial.print("[Right]"); }
else if (c == PS2_UPARROW) { Serial.print("[Up]"); }
else if (c == PS2_DOWNARROW) { Serial.print("[Down]"); }
else if (c == PS2_DELETE) { Serial.print("[Del]"); }
else { // otherwise, just print all normal characters Serial.print(c); } } }

#include const int DataPin = 8;
const int IRQpin = 5;

void setup() { delay(1000); keyboard.begin(DataPin, IRQpin);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(1), handleInterrupt, RISING);
Serial.begin(9600);}
//IRQ

void IRQkey(if (keyboard.available()) {
char c = keyboard.read(); // c is a global
int charFlag = 1;}

int keyProcess(){
charFlag = 0;
// more code
return (something)
