Confi guring the KE18 Jumpers

The KE18 is designed to be easy to use. There are 3 jumpers located on 
the board which allow for selection of various modes. These jumpers 
must be set before using the product.

Jumper 1

This jumper selects the repeat function of the inputs on the KE18’s 
I/O header.

With this jumper in place, inputs will send a single keystroke to the PC 
when activated regardless of the length of time they are held on.

When this jumper is open, inputs on the KE18’s I/O header will repeat 
their defi ned keystroke for the duration the input is held active or until 
another input is activated.

Jumper 2

This  jumper  controls  the  scanning  mode  for  the  I/O  header  on  the 
KE18.

If  this  jumper  is  in  place,  the  KE18  will  scan  the  I/O  header  as  18 
individual  inputs  (pins  “A”  through  “R”).  Keystrokes  to  the  PC  are 
activated in the 18 input mode by making a connection between an 
input pin and one of the logic ground pins (“Gnd”), provided at each 
end of the I/O header.

With this jumper open, the KE18 scans the I/O header as a 9 Column 
by 9 Row matrix. In this mode, keystrokes to the PC are generated by 
connecting a switch such that one Row pin (“J” through “R”) and one 
Column pin (“A” through “I”) are shorted together when the switch is 
activated.

NOTE:

 

See the Keycode Lookup Tables on page 6 for keystrokes 

available in each of these modes.
