Prof. Chris Gregg will lead a lecture on all things keyboard: the venerable P2S/2 protocol plus bonus excursions into Midi protocol and controlling an old-school typewriter!

Readings:

• Read Adam Chapweske's overview of the PS/2 protocol for keyboards and mice.
• Neat video from Ben Eater demonstrating how to read PS/2 scancode via breadboard wizardry. He does it all in hardware, thankfully easier for us in software!
