Keyboard encoders
matsadona:
Hi all
Is the Wiki up to date regarding keyboard encoders, or are there any additional model/brands out there?
I have a non-arcade project that requires a small footprint board with just a few connections. Important is also that there is a utility to set keyboard mappings, and the settings has to stay (eeprom).

Per Saint, Wiki logins have been broken since the forums updated/moved months ago.

The KADE is exactly what you are looking for.
While you're waiting for the KADE release date, you can buy an AVR (the board KADE is based on) here or here.
The AVR encoder firmware is here on the resources page.
Check out Modes 6 and 7, they may already cover the keystrokes that you need.

Scott, thank you very much for your reply.
That is definitely a very interesting product that is more or less exactly what I am looking for.
However there is no default mode that suits my needs, since I want “F9”. But that shouldn’t be that hard to implement…

What keys are you looking for specifically, and what is your application? I have a budget USB Key encoder nearing completion which will be available with a number of different default key sets. Perhaps one of them will be suitable for your needs?

Randy I would like to see the keywiz be programmable through a eeprom, so you dont have to run the wizard every time just to re-assign a button or two.
Sorry, dont mean to derail the original subject.
