Re: [N8VEM-S100:6661] propeller console IO keyboard problem?

Yes that is a bug in the spin code. Been meaning to buff up that code in quite a while. Any volunteers? We really need a propeller expert to also dig into the original keyboard assembly code and write a mod to display the keyboard scan code on the two (of four) essentially unused HEX displays.

Hi Harold,

I'm getting the same behavior. Caps lock works, it sets/clears the LED, puts the other keys in caps mode, but always sends a ^ when going into and out of caps lock.

The Numlock sends an underscore, but works.. and the Scrolllock sends a ] character

Probably little oversights in the spin program... hopefully the next version might correct it.

Cheers,
Josh

Thanks or the input. I got my keyboard to work - sticky keys. However now I also get "^" when I press the "CAPS LOCK". Must be something in the keyboard.spin program. I am using Josh's 8080 CPU board.

I have ver 1.0 of the prop and my 'CAPS LOCK' works fine.

I am booting to Northstar DOS/BASIC from floppy. The only
thing I noticed is Northstar won't recognize commands in
lower case. Also, when I hit 'CAPS LOCK' the system echos
a 'carrot' [ ^ ] to the screen.

This could just be a fluke in N* OS.

My CP/M system is down as I'm building ver 2.0 of the
prop. I should have the prop board done next weekend
and I'll LYK.

Hi everyone,

I am using the propeller driven consoleIO along with the AT style keyboard. I noticed that the 'CAPS LOCK' key doesn't seem to work - at least I don't get upper case like I should. Before I blame the keyboard I was wondering if anyone could check on their system to see if they have problems with the same key. I haven't checked the keyboard.spin program yet to see if that key is not being decoded.

Any feedback?

Thanks
