KB232 RS-232 Keyboard Kit

The KB232 Keyboard Kit includes a low-power standard 104 PS/2 Desktop Computer Keyboard and a KB232 PS/2 to RS-232 Adapter. This provides you with a complete RS-232 keyboard that has been tested to work with desktop computers. There are two kits available, one with the standard KB232, and one with the newer KB232E with the rugged molded housing and RoHS (lead-free) materials.

Keys with ASCII equivalents are translated into ASCII characters. This means that standard alphanumeric keys, number keys, and punctuations are translated to their logical equivalents.

The KB232 adapter can "steal" power from the RS-232 connection to power itself and a low power keyboard. It can also accept either +9 volt or +12 volt power from an external power supply.

Custom keyboard mappings can be loaded to change the ASCII character (or characters) assigned to the keyboard keys. These are stored in non-volatile flash memory.
