The binary keyboard
provides an alternative method to interface with pc-type devices. The primary
target for the device is the pocket PC and organizer market but it is not
limited to this particular family. All coded aspects of the binary keyboard
are incorporated into two packages: char_display.vhd and transmitter.vhd.
The first package ties the keyboard in with the VGA and the second with the
PS/2. For proper operation of
the device all portions of the package must be compiled and loaded into an
FPGA. The keyboard can then be used for character input in replace of existing
methods, such as script recognition or portable standard keyboard devices.
