WLKB232 Wireless RS232 Keyboard Adapter   by Versalent   Home

Converts a wireless USB keyboard to a wireless serial keyboard for your non-USB RS232 system!
(Also works with most wired USB keyboards to convert to an RS232 serial keyboard).

Uses standard Logitech/Microsoft Wireless USB keyboard and converts it to RS232 for general use with any UART system. Wireless USB keyboards are provided with a USB wireless dongle which prevents these keyboards being used with non-USB computers. And the USB->RS232 Serial converters which are available are simple pass-through devices which do not understand the USB HID device messaging formats and therefore cannot provide the translation. WLKB232 is the first device to provide a simple USB HID Composite host which can communicate with a standard wireless USB keyboard and convert the keycodes to standard ASCII RS232 characters for use with any host via a serial UART. In addition the WLKB232 can be user-programmed to override the standard key-cap characters and output alternate characters or strings (up to 10-characters) for any keypress. The typical range of a wireless keyboard to its dongle is 30 feet. Can be ordered in DCE or DTE* pin configurations (both with DB9 female).

 DESCRIPTION

       WLKB232 is a 2.6" X 1.7" X 0.8" module which provides translation of wireless USB keycodes to serial RS232 characters. This allows even small microcontroller systems to incorporate wireless keyboards without any of the development complexity of USB and HID drivers. RS232 key-cap characters are available from the wireless keyboard by simply plugging the WLKB232 into your system with a DB9 cable. By operating with standard industry-leading wireless keyboards you get the assurance of a reliable RF link.    Manual available here

(1)Typically works with other non-Bluetooth wireless (and wired) keyboards or keyboard/mouse combos which do NOT require special drivers installed to operate on a PC. Although most wireless keyboards include a driver CD for special features, many work with the default Microsoft OS USB drivers and these may work with the WLKB232. But the only keyboards guaranteed to work are those qualified devices above.
WLKB232-XXX is available with power source and RS-232 options to provide the flexibility to mate to a variety of systems without additional adapters.
*All units whether DTE or DCE provide DB9 female connector
