DIY Keypad to USB Keyboard That Beeps Random
I made this project just for fun, but this thing work as an normal keyboard with everything.
Have fun!
Supplies
- Any matrix keypad
- Geekcreit® Pro Micro 5V 16M Mini Leonardo Microcontroller
- A buzzer
Hardware
Arduino
IMPORTANT! This project work only with this kind of Arduino, because it have an ATMEGA32U4, who can emulate the keyboard
Keypad
A keypad is a simple matrix of rows and columns, if you have a 4x3 keypad you should have 7 wires to use.
I weld the wires directly to the arduino, from digital input "D3" to "D9".
Buzzer
This is a totaly optional component, but i love the "bip pob pub" sound.
Any computer buzzer work just fine, i weld one to analog input "A3" to "GND" (ground)
Software
You can download the software from GitHub: https://github.com/MaxRomagnoli/DIY-keypad-to-USB-keyboard
Upload "keypad-to-usb.ino" file to the Arduino using the Arduino Software
I made the "beep" sound totaly random, just for fun.
Enjoy!
