Bluetooth Keyboard Interface Board

(1/6) > >>

corndwg01:
I've been out of the "game" (no pun intended)  for a couple years now, but have an idea for a new project. Does anyone make a Bluetooth Keyboard interface board like an I-pac or Key Wiz. Is there anyway to make an I-pac or Key Wiz wireless?

ark_ader:
Hack a wireless keyboard. You can pick up a BT Keyboard cheap on eBay.

PL1:
You might look into the Bluefruit mentioned here or maybe a wireless gamepad hack.   :dunno

I would avoid hacking a wireless keyboard since there is a 6-button limit on USB keyboards running in "boot protocol" mode.

Almost all arcade-style encoders do not run in that mode. (IIRC, the X-Arcade encoder is the only one with this limitation)

That Bluefruit looks very promising, it just sucks that it's only 12 inputs.

What is boot protocol and why should I be concerned?

corndwg01:
I think I may have just found a solution with this little gizmo. It seems to have good reviews across the Internet.
