WLKB232-xxx Wireless RS232 Keyboard Adapter   by Versalent   Home

  • Converts a wired or wireless USB keyboard to a programmable RS232 keyboard for non-USB systems!
  • Works with any standard USB keyboard

Uses any standard wired or wireless USB keyboard converting it to RS232 for general use with any UART system. WLKB232 is the first device to provide a simple USB HID Composite host which can communicate with a standard 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

Typically works with all USB wireless (and wired) keyboards or keyboard/mouse combos which do NOT require special drivers 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 will work with the WLKB232.

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
