Code: Select all
int Lock = 0; // Input pin connected to MX Lock switch
int Capsled = 1; // Input pin connected to Caps Lock LED signal
int SwOut = 2; // Output pin connected to transistor acting as momentary caps lock switch
void setup() {
pinMode(Lock, INPUT);
pinMode(Capsled, INPUT);
pinMode(SwOut, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
int LockState = digitalRead(Lock);
int CapsState = digitalRead(Capsled);
if (CapsState == LockState){ // Compares the state of the switch and state of caps lock LED, change the "==" to "!=" if function is reversed
digitalWrite(SwOut, HIGH);
delay(10); // time in milliseconds the simulated caps lock switch is "pressed" increase if key changes are not registered
digitalWrite(SwOut, LOW);
}
delay(50); // delay to increase stability
}
The "simple" solution there is to make your own custom MX locks with solenoids or something in them so that your secondary keyboard can be locked/unlocked when your primary gets presseddamorgue wrote:The only thing that bothers me is that if I have two keyboards connected, and both have this feature, then they will fight based on their polling and both will try to set the Caps Lock state to their respective states
Then make an entire keyboard out of that switch and be able to make a self typing keyboard, which depresses its own keys just to freak out my friends.uberben wrote:The "simple" solution there is to make your own custom MX locks with solenoids or something in them so that your secondary keyboard can be locked/unlocked when your primary gets presseddamorgue wrote:The only thing that bothers me is that if I have two keyboards connected, and both have this feature, then they will fight based on their polling and both will try to set the Caps Lock state to their respective states
