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 http://www.henning-bekel.de/keyman64/#configuration-examples Please refer to the project page http://www.henning-bekel.de/keyman64 for detailed documentation.
