Arduino Trials and Tribulations, Part 2

Well lets get the ps2 keyboard interfaced first.  I’m going to use one of unmodified prototype shields they cost me $16.74 including shipping, oh well. first thing is to scrounge a ps2 female connector, luckily I had a damaged ps2 extender cable with the end that I needed.

Arduino	Keyboard	Cable Color
5+	Vcc	Orange
Ground	GND	Red
DIO3	CLK	Yellow
DIO4	DATA	Black

The first thing I need to figure out how to hook it up. While looking around I found a interface and some code at Practical Arduino I really cant use much of his software as I only have 14 keys, but want to use a full ps2 for testing, I plan on using a keyboard encoder from a ps2 keyboard that I took apart.  Now I will solder the female end of the cable to the shield.
