Any chips on the control panel, especially directly on the keyboard or one the keyboard is connected to via a multi-wire cable? Somewhere in there may be a matrix encoder and RS232C chip. If you have RS232C then it should be possible to tap into that to feed character data into a modern control

I had not seen the 7i73. I'm slowly putting together a pendent but I'm using a generic STM32F type development board. One advantage is that these cost about $13, can connect back to the PC using USB and have a lot more IO. But to tell the truth, the project is stalled because I don't know what

One plan would be to use a purpose designed keyboard scanner chip. This would have a serial I2C output that sends data when a button is pressed. There are MANY such chips available. On Fri, Feb 1, 2019 at 7:05 PM Thaddeus Waldner wrote: > I am in the process of installing a manual control panel

I am in the process of installing a manual control panel on my router, using a MESA 7i73 pendent card. The panel has a 5x6 button matrix and 16 LED indicators. I am driving the LED indicators with a pair of 74HC573 8-bit latch. I had initially planned on wiring each buffer input to a correspondi
