The Arduino uses a shift register to interact with the keyboard’s 8×10 matrix, and the sketch translates any serial data it receives into the keypresses the clone is expecting.

Adam Podstawczynski has created a new Arduino powered project which is capable of emulating a Commodore 64 keyboard on a modern PC, enabling keystrokes to be translated to character inputs on a C64.

Technical Details and Components The keyboard was built using an Arduino board together with a fuel capacity of controllers, which is then connected to a Raspberry Pi mini computer.

Programming based on the Arduino integrated development environment is through the built-in micro-USB port. It also offers built-in USB HID (human interface device class) support, so the board can act ...
