Keyboard buffer & Arduino

Hi:

Is it possible to input key strokes via Arduino connected to the USB serial port? I know Arduino can send serial data but how for the PC to read those characters?

A friend of mine is making videos from Super 8 films, capturing frame by frame. He uses a software that takes the pictures by pressing the F5 key. If for each frame the Arduino can send that ASCII code to the serial port, will it work?

Thanks

yes think so.
Have a look at the teensy - it can mimic a keyboard quite easily

The Leonardo and Micro (which use the Atmega 32U4 MCU) can emulate a keyboard or a mouse

...R

It is an "Arduino on steriods"
