How to read a PS2 Device (both hardware and software)

Hi all,

I am trying to use a 8051 to read
a PS2 device(a PS2 BarCode Reader).
But I am completely new to the PS2
interface. Are there any exisiting
source codes and hardware samples
for similar applications?

It would be grateful if I would get your
advices

  • Hi Brain

    PS2 have 4 signals
    VCC,gnd,data and clk

    Format of data from PS2 is
    start bit-data bits-parity bit-stop bit

    Read 'data' line when 'clk' goes
    low.store and rotate bits to get
    a data byte.
    Above mentions how u read data from PS2
    now how u interpret received data to useful one,u have to refer documents available from
    net.
