2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 PS/2 click 2 3 1. Introduction 4. Essential features Even though somewhat superseded by USB, PS/2 connectors are still used. PS/2 click is especially suited for connecting vintage or certain modern high-end keyboards and Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure mice. One of the key benefits of PS/2 is that the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are it supports full n-key rollover. Its the ability Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the of the keyboard to handle any number of appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. simultaneous keystrokes. PS/2 click is a cost-eectivff e solution for 3. Plugging the board in adding keyboard and mouse connectivity click to your design. It features a standard 6-pin Once you have soldered the headers your Mini-DIN PS/2 connector, a mikroBUS board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD host socket, and a power indicator LED. mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the www.mikroe.com Its an alternative to the USB connector cut in the lower-right part of the board used for modern peripherals. PS/2 click with the markings on the silkscreen at the communicates with the target board mikroBUS socket. If all the pins are aligned through mikroBUS RST (data) and CS correctly, push the board all the way (clock) pins. Its designed to use a 5V into the socket. power supply only. 6. PS/2 vs USB 5. PS/2 click Board Schematic PS/2 connected keyboards have slightly shorter eectivff e scan intervals than their USB counterparts, which makes them faster. This could be an important consideration in some applications. VCC VCC 7.
