How-to guide details PS/2 keyboard-to-iPhone mod, just for you

Oh sure, we've seen hacker after hacker brag about their success in connecting some sort of keyboard to Apple's iPhone, but have any of them bothered to take the time to explain the process behind the magic? Exactly. The man behind AwghBlog, however, is a kinder, gentler soul, and he's found the time to detail in quite specific terms how he connected a legacy PS/2 keyboard (you know, the one you're not using any longer) to Apple's cash-cow of a smartphone. Best of all, the guide actually explains how to build a PS/2 keyboard-to-iPhone converter, so you're not necessarily tied to a certain board. Hit the read link if you're down for a weekend project.

*Yawn*

Seven years ago I made a PS/2 to Ti-89 converter so I could use the mouse on the Ti-89. I made a match game - 4x 3 grid of cards, you needed to click on two cards to turn them over - goal was to match all pairs in the shortest amount of time.

This was done as a project for a Microcontrollers class. The main requirement was a project that exercised most of what we'd learned of some complexity that ran on a 68k processor and rather than use the dev board we were assigned for the class, I went with something a bit more interesting.

*Yawn*

I can't wait to build this. When I do, it will be EPIC.
