Please provide PS/2 - USB adapter circuit diagram #5

Closed Durobot closed 11 months ago

Durobot commented 12 months ago

Since Olimex Agon Light 2 does away with PS/2 keyboard port, replacing it with a USB connector, but still requires a PS/2 compatible keyboard (which means Agon Light 2 can't function as a proper USB host), I assume a proper PS/2 keyboard should work too, with a simple passive adapter.

Could you please provide circuit diagram for such adapter?

PS/2 compatibility in USB keyboards is not advertised, and seems to be dying out anyway, so looking for a PS/2 keyboard appears to be an easier task.

Thank you so much! Curiously enough, all the adapters in your photos are green, which normally means they're for mice, not keyboards 🤷‍♂️

They're the same for mouse and keyboard and no contains active components - just sockets and wires
