Usb Keyboard Gp2x

[beg1689]

i was just wondering.. is there any way a usb keyboard could work with the gp2x? it may need to be given its own power supply but it would be nice to have a kyboard for it. if it was possible, i would definately be using one of these:

perfect for the gp2x

ive got one of those. I was going to use it for a carputer. Its plug&play in many operating systems.

If it requires the other end to be a USB host, the no it will not work.

I doubt that it has USB host built in, and last I checked two USB-slave devices don't talk too well with each other with no usb host device present.

All is not lost, however, because I'm sure someone will figure out a way to hook up a similar keyboard to some of the GPIO pins on the EXT port. I doubt they can emulate a USB protocol, (or it would be difficult to do), but I'm sure someone can modify one of the GP32 chatboards, as I believe they were serial, or a similar protocol.

having a keyboard would be cool for certain types of apps, although I probably wouldn't use if everyday. Anyone working on this yet? :blink:

I'm pretty sure we'll be seing chatboards just like on the GP32 so I wouldn't worry too much, we'll have some form of input or another

i'm not sure that would work. there would be problems between the communication between the device and the gp2x (i think)

if they got a keyboard to work on an ipod, which was hacked, to use a keyboard, then I'm sure they can get a keyboard and quite possibly a mouse (in the future) to work with a gp2x.

wow, high hopes...
