Hi all, i need to arrange about 20 buttons on a custom panel for a project at work. They will be used as inputs to a piece of software that we have that currently uses keyboard inputs. I was thinking i would use a PIC to detect button presses, then emulate a standard pc keyboard. I have done most of nigels tutorials in the past, and think that i could just use the switch and rs232 routines, but since i need 20 buttons, i prolly need a different pic. Im sure this has been done already, and i will search when i get home, but thought i would ask for any input. I guess i dont really need 20 inputs if i use some sort of logic table?
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
