CONFIG ATEMU

Top  Previous  Next

Action

Configures the PS/2 keyboard data and clock pins.

 

 

Syntax

CONFIG ATEMU = int , DATA = data, CLOCK=clock [,INIT=VALUE]

 

 

Remarks

Int

The interrupt used such as INT0 or INT1.

DATA

The pin that is connected to the DATA line. This must be the same pin as the used interrupt.

CLOCK

The pin that is connected to the CLOCK line.

INIT

An optional value that will identify the keyboard. By default or when omitted this is &HAB83. The code that identifies a keyboard. Some mother boards/BIOS  seems to require the reverse &H83AB. By making it an option you can pass any possible value. The MSB is passed first, the LSB last.

4 - Ground

5 - +5v

(Socket)

6-pin Mini-DIN (PS/2):

 

1 - Data

2 - Not Implemented

3 - Ground

4 - +5v

5 - Clock

6 - Not Implemented

 

 

Old PC’s are equipped with a 5-pin DIN female connector. Newer PC’s have a 6-pin mini DIN female connector.

The male sockets must be used for the connection with the micro.

 

Besides the DATA and CLOCK you need to connect from the PC to the micro, you need to connect ground. You can use the +5V from the PC to power your microprocessor.

 

 

The config statement will setup an ISR that is triggered when the INT pin goes low. This routine you can find in the library.

The ISR will retrieve a byte from the PC and will send the proper commands back to the PC.

 

 

The SENDSCANKBD statement allows you to send keyboard commands.

 

 

Note that unlike the mouse emulator, the keyboard emulator is also recognized after your PC has booted.

 

 

notice The PS2 Keyboard and mouse emulator needs an additional commercial addon library.
