I had that female USB connector but I had to first test its pin-out with a voltmeter. Using the PS2 Arduino library we can connect the USB keyboard directly to Arduino boards such as Arduino UNO or Arduino Mini. So I’ve decided to try the physical USB to PS2 converter - the writer has tried with his PC - between my USB keyboard and Arduino. When I looked for some information to connect a USB to an Arduino board I found that in order to do this I need either an Arduino USB shield or an Arduino board with Microcontroller that have the native USB host physical feature. That’s because the USB keyboard can be powered from the old PS2 port, take the CLOCK signal from it and then send DATA signal to it.Īnd the writer has tried to make this setup and it worked. It’s just a physical converter for the connection between the keyboard and the host port(not a voltage or protocol converter). This means that you can use a modern USB keyboard with your old PCs and laptops using only this converter.
The writer mentioned that he has tried it and it worked. I remembered that I’ve found an tutorial that described building a USB to PS2 converter. I only then remembered that although I couldn’t use a normal PS2 keyboard with a USB port in a notebook because of the different protocol, but the opposite is doable. So how could I connect my USB keyboard to Arduino? I only remembered back then when I was looking for a keyboard for my notebook (which had no PS2 ports in it) is that I wanted to figure out some way to use a PS2 keyboard with a USB port but I couldn’t found this.Īnd that’s why I bought the USB keyboard for the first place.īut this search has helped me a lot these days when I wanted to connect my USB keyboard to Arduino. Yes that’s the new modern technology is about and it’s something I should be happy with.īut the only problem I was having when I wanted to connect my keyboard to Arduino (as a host to my keyboard) I found that the standard use of Arduino with a keyboard is the PS2 connection.Īctually there is a good well written Arduino library for this purpose. My favorite keyboard is happened to a USB keyboard. It’s that real physical feeling of switches on my fingertips that makes me feeling creative and alive.īut there’s only a small problem. Of course, it’s about Arduino and it’s about writing.įor some reason I wanted to connect Arduino to my keyboard.

Using USB Host Shield with Arduino also allows you to implement Google ADK.It supports 3.3V / 8M / 328 Arduino Pro mini and3.3V FTDI. Arduino Pro Mini is not included.USB mini board makes Arduino very easy to communicate with a USB slave device, such as USB keyboard, mouse, U disk, camera, Android phone and so on. Also, due to its’ small size it can be used as general MAX3421E breakout board.This shield is fully compatible and supported by USB Host Shield Library. It will also work with other 3.3V Arduinos. This USB Host Shield designed to be easily combined with “Mini” variant of Arduino Board, specifically, Sparkfun 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini.
