[Techtoolslist] Fluke keyboards question

[Barry Shilmover]

Thanks,

Yeah, I was using your picture to compare it to mine :)

I will have to try that.  I am assuming the matrix is different between the
2 keyboards.  The 9100 is part number 5-64993-143, mine is 5-64955-099.

I need to figure out the matrix on both keyboards and see if I can build a
small adapter.

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

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.
