Need Arduino PS/2 adapter from North America

[dave_the_nerd]

Nothing against Asia, I just have 2 weeks to do the assignment, I can't wait for intercontinental shipping, and I can't be trusted with a soldering iron.

Anybody have a domestic source for a keyboard adapter? I just want to be able to retrieve character codes in the main loop. (Most of the adapters I've seen point in turn to some kind of library that does the hard work.)

Thanks

This looks pretty simple. It converts PS/2 into serial so you can simply get keystrokes via the serial port on the Arduino. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1136

Alternatively, it looks like you can use no extra hardware and use something like this library: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/PS2Keyboard

Dahell? I was just looking at adafruit and didn't see that listed under arduino accessories.

*sigh*

Thank you!

I searched for "PS/2" 🙂
