SX Microcontroler based Keyboards

• The PIC Source Book - Button (the second version of the program is in Parallax code; easy to use on the SX)
• SX Microcontroler based Matix Keyboards
• Michael Hetherington's USB Keyboard demo
• George F. Hotz's PC Keyboard tester
• PC keyboard and mouse interface (via SX28) to the Play Station 1

Vertual Peripherals:

• Push Buttons & Path Switcher: This application note presents programming techniques for implementing and debouncing from 1-4 push buttons. This implementation also demonstrates the use of a path switcher (combined with a simple real-time clock ) to reduce the execution time of each interrupt.
