i recently came across uart2kbd - control USB keyboard by uart download | SourceForge.net and not having experience with vusb was wondering what is really involved. if i flashed the hex provided into m8 as shown will this just work as a keyboard under xp or are additional drivers etc required? im hoping somebody who has worked with this stuff before can maybe save some tail chasing.
Will work as a generic keyboard. The HID-class it uses does not require any drivers other than the ones built into your operating system.

thanks for the input. i was concerned by mention of compatibility problems but went ahead and threw one together and it works great. using crystal instead of rc like in this case seems to insure success. even the rc type usually work but why take chances. there were some complaints of issues with certain hubs but ive tried this on over a dozen different systems and all work fine.
now modified to take a simple ascii character instead of silly on/off keycodes.
