Hi guys!

I'm searching for a method to adapting a PS/2 Keyboard to a RS-232 serial port.
The scope is to read the bits of each key pressed from the keyboard. With a simple software, I remain to listen on this COM port.

I've realized a simpele connection:

[PS/2]DATA --> RX[RS232]
[PS/2]VCC --> VCC[RS232]
[PS/2]GND --> GND[RS232]

The problem is that I receive a sequence of bit 0, and then when I press a key (for example, the "1" key, with bit configuration 0x110001), I don't receive exactly this sequence.


Do you have any idea?


Thanks for your help!
 

PS/2 port is a special usage of the serial port. And, you might understand the scan code.
