Pmod PS2: Keyboard and mouse combo supported?


JMegaffin

Question

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to connect both a keyboard and mouse to the PS/2 Pmod via splitter cable.

It seems like it should work, as each of the PS/2 pins is mapped to a corresponding Pmod pin, and the schematics show that secondary data and clock lines are wired up the same way as their primary counterparts.  However, the store page and reference manual do not mention this configuration, with the manual only saying that the secondary lines are "generally unused".  I just want to confirm that there is not some unseen caveat preventing this from working.

Thanks in advance.

HI @JMegaffin,

 I do not see an issue electrically with using a PS/2 splitter.  I know the firmware is set up to interact with PS/2 mice and PS/2 keyboards individually. We haven't tried a splitter as of yet, but do not see any issue. Please let us know if you run into issues.

cheers,

Jon
