PC104 to membrane keypad module

[TechGladiator]

Hello,

I am trying to connect an 8x8 membrane keywitch to a PC/104 and I was
just wondering if there is a module or software available that will
allow me to quickly do this. I know I can do it with writting some
software with a 16 I/O board but I wonder if there is something out
there already.

Thanks
Miguel

Most PC/104 CPU boards have a standard AT-keyboard port. The easiest way
is to have your keypad emulate the AT keyboard. There are software kits
available to run on an 8051-family processor that can be customized to
match your keypad layout. There may even be ready-made modules that do this.

Blimey ! PC104 ? Been a while since I heard *that* phrase !

I was in there at the beginning - there are ( were ) numerous PC104
suppliers. Are you in contact with the PC104 group, whoever runs that now
?


I'm *sure* someone makes what you need btw. That's *exactly* the area
that PC104 targeted.
