The Arduino uses a shift register to interact with the keyboard’s 8×10 matrix, and the sketch translates any serial data it receives into the keypresses the clone is expecting.

Technical Details and Components The keyboard was built using an Arduino board together with a fuel capacity of controllers, which is then connected to a Raspberry Pi mini computer.

The newly released Arduino Leonardo has a few very interesting features, most notably the ability to act as a USB keyboard and mouse thanks to the new ATmega 32U4 microcontroller. This feature isn&… ...

Adam Podstawczynski has created a new Arduino powered project which is capable of emulating a Commodore 64 keyboard on a modern PC, enabling keystrokes to be translated to character inputs on a C64.
