can somebody help me out on how to interface an 8051 ic to a 8742 keyboard controller ic..?? i am connecting a keyboard through a ps2 connector to the board...this interface is controlled by 8742..how do i obtain the keys pressed at 8051?
The relation to the problem is that a lot of people pick the first solution they get to think about. That sometimes goes for the person creating the thread. And sometimes for the person who requested the job done.
By knowing the reason for using the chip, we will know if there is a valid reason for this extra glue or if there is actually a better reason for interfacing directly with the PS/2 connector.
The reason behind a design can greatly affect what answers we will write.
