Hello, I want to connect an old keyboard to my arduino using the library "PS2 Keyboard" but even the sample program does not work.
/* PS2Keyboard library example
PS2Keyboard now requries both pins specified for begin()
keyboard.begin(data_pin, irq_pin);
Valid irq pins:
Arduino Uno: 2, 3
Arduino Due: All pins, except 13 (LED)
Arduino Mega: 2, 3, 18, 19, 20, 21
Teensy 2.0: All pins, except 13 (LED)
Teensy 2.0: 5, 6, 7, 8
Teensy 1.0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 16
Teensy++ 2.0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 18, 19, 36, 37
Teensy++ 1.0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 18, 19, 36, 37
Sanguino: 2, 10, 11
for more information you can read the original wiki in arduino.cc
at http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/PS2Keyboard
or http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_PS2Keyboard.html
Like the Original library and example this is under LGPL license.
