KeyDog - Discrete Inputs to Keystrokes
|
KeyDog provides a way to bring discrete inputs (or inputs from a switch matrix) into the USB or keyboard port on your PC. KeyDog also includes a watchdog timer that restarts your PC following lock-ups and that infamous "blue screen of death."
KeyDog has the following features:
- 24 inputs at 5VDC that can be programmed to provided any possible keyboard scan code
- 3 outputs at 5VDC for driving 10 ma loads
- 8 x 16 switch matrix option for handling a full 104 key keyboard
- Programmable to operate stand-alone (i.e. without a keyboard) or as a keyboard wedge (i.e. handling both discretes and keyboard input). For the USB version, this effectively makes KeyDog a PS/2 to USB converter.
- Programmable Watchdog Timer with a relay with normally open and normally closed contacts for resetting your PC (through either the motherboard reset switch or the power-supply "power-good" input). For volume orders, a custom version is available with a solid state relay.
- Watchdog restart time can be programmed from 10 ms to over 10 minutes.
- Supports either 5 VDC sourcing or ground sinking inputs
- On board LED provides a indication at power up for operational readiness
- PCB (3" x 4") can be mounted in a PCI slot or separately mounted on standoffs.
- PS/2 Versions (KD-1PS2R) and USB Versions (KD-1USBR) are available
KeyDog can be used in a wide variety of PC based applications. Click here to find out how KeyDog can work for you.

KeyDog - How to Program
|
KeyDog is configurable with a easy to use Windows program. To download the Programming Utility, click on the link below. The self-extracting install program will ask you where to load the files. Preferably, give KeyDog its own directory. The KeyDog programming utility is ready to run. It will not change your Windows' registry. The files can simply be deleted from your directory when complete.
Use the included USB programming cable
or PS/2 programming cable to control and program KeyDog.
