This project adds PS/2 Keyboard port to Sony Mini disc HiFI Decks.

Tested on Sony MDS-JE510 but I see no reason for it not to work on other Sony decks as well.

There is two versions available:

mdkey: Hardwired version (for mounting PS/2 connector internally in a deck)

mdkey-ir: Using an IR diode to convert PS/2 keyboard to wireless MD keyboard.

See Hookup folder for instruction how to connect.

Tested on Arduino UNO and Sony MDS-JE510

like: / - ' ? !

Missing characters:

I have copied the IR codes from my RM-D7M remote. This remote lacks some symbols, like :

I am sure there exists IR codes for those symbols as well, so if anyone can help out

that would be great!
