Introduction to the KE-USB108
The KE-USB108 Keyboard Encoder is a product designed to
interface push buttons, switches, potentiometers and other contact
closures to the computer's USB port. Devices connected to the
KE-USB108 input headers produce keystrokes, mouse buttons
and joystick button presses that appear to the PC as if they were
entered from a standard USB keyboard, mouse, or joystick.
Rotary encoders connected to the unit produce a single keystroke
for each direction turned. Potentiometers connected to the X,
Y, Z and Rx axis inputs produce joystick movement. A Trackball
connected to the unit produces X and Y mouse movement. A
Spinner connected to the unit produces mouse wheel movement
or either X or Y mouse movement (selectable).
The KE-USB108 is fully programmable by the user. This
programmability feature allows the configuration of various
parameters as well as the selection of the keystrokes and button
presses that will be sent to the PC. The KE-USB108 stores the
user's configuration program in non-volatile memory so that the
information is retained on the unit even after power is turned off.
