Firmware
TinyPS2V01
- PJRC PS/2 library
- Read PS/2 print to screen
- Resources (Arduino UNO)
Sketch uses 3334 bytes (10%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes. Global variables use 377 bytes (18%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1671 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
TinyPS2V02
- Read PS/2 keyboard, write Serial (9600 baud)
- PJRC PS/2 library
- Software Serial library
- Code
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> #include <PS2Keyboard.h> const int DataPin = 0; const int IRQpin = 1; #define rxPin 3 #define txPin 2 // Set up SoftwareSerial and PS/2 objects SoftwareSerial mySerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin); PS2Keyboard keyboard; void setup() { pinMode(rxPin, INPUT); pinMode(txPin, OUTPUT); mySerial.begin(9600); keyboard.begin(DataPin, IRQpin); } void loop() { if (keyboard.available()) { // read the next key char c = keyboard.read(); mySerial.write(c); } }
- Resources (ATTiny85)
Sketch uses 3126 bytes (38%) of program storage space. Maximum is 8192 bytes. Global variables use 241 bytes (47%) of dynamic memory, leaving 271 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 512 bytes.
TinyPS2V03
- Test routine
- Write Serial with Serial ramp values (A-Z) (9600 baud)
- Software Serial library
- Works
Programming Card
- Programming procedure is taken from here
- Add ATTiny Board support to Preferences, Path =
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damellis/attiny/ide-1.6.x-boards-manager/package_damellis_attiny_index.json
- Select ATTiny85, 8 Mhz
- Burn bootloader - Otherwise clock is way off
- ATProgHead
- Running Arduino as ISP
Board Tests
- Main sketch
- Didn't run when first tried
- Maybe PS2Keyboard library does not provide interrupt support on ATTiny85?
- Test with TinyPS04 sketch
- 2 mS off/on on serial output pin verifies delay(2)
- Test with TinyPS04 sketch
- Sends out A-Z in serial line at 9600 baud (~100uS bit time) - Verifies SoftwareSerial

Issues
- Missing pull-up resistors on PS/2
- Rev 2 - add pull-up resistors
- (There's pullups in the part so this may not be needed)
- Missing C3 cap in sequence
- Rev 2 - change C4 => C3
