I have a converter that I plug into my USB socket and then I can plug my old style keyboard into this converter. Is that what is being talked about here? The picture looks different.
- jablan 8y agoNot sure what is inside of one of those keyboard adapters, but this is something called a serial adapter (or, more precisely, UART adapter). It is usually used to program microcontrollers (read Arduinos), so everyone dabbling with those (typical audience of hackaday.com) probably has at least one at home, they cost like $2-3.
- sand500 8y agoWhat you are talking about is the USB to PS/2 converter. The "serial" they are talking about is UART. Something like this which is quite common for hobbyists to own already: https://www.amazon.com/WINGONEER-CP2102-Module-Serial-Converter/dp/B01LRVQIFQ https://www.amazon.com/WINGONEER-CP2102-Module-Serial-Conver...
