Unable to use AT keyboard connection
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2004 5:10 pm
Okay, so I soldered an AT keyboard header to the display. (5 data? points plus 2 ground? points)
Plug the display in, then plug in a keyboard. Keyboards lights blink (NL, SL, CL) but do not stay on. Pressing the appropriate key does not make the light stay on.
I started my comm port/lcd program and established a connection through the port. Displayed text to the display to verify that the connection worked. The LCD isn't returning any key presses.
According to the manual, the default mode is to immediately send keypresses, but just to check, I polled the buffer and nothing is returned.
I'm guessing the AT header isn't wired up properly, but my soldering looks solid.... Any ideas?
