[Techtoolslist] Fluke keyboards question

[William Stillwell]

When I made the USB Data Logger, a fellow user actually sent me his Fluke
Keyboard so i could data log ALL the keyboard key combos ( as they were not
documented ) ..

I would connect the keyboard up and setup , the pinout is in my git hub

https://github.com/ki4swy/FlukeUSBAdapter

You will need to apply power, then pull reset low to reset the keyboard,
and then using a Standard TTL USB Serial Adapter set to 1200 Baud, see the
codes from the keyboard ( use something that can view Hex Data, not ASCII  )

I do have a picture of the two style keyboards:

Notice the Fluke actually uses 2 Key Wide Buttons on the number pad.
