- keybrd Tutorial 4b - split keyboard with shift registers
- ========================================================
- When you finish this tutorial you will be able to be able to modify a split keybrd sketch with 10 to 24 keys on the shift registers.
-
- Overview of split keyboard with shift registers
- ------------------------------------------------
- The breadboard in the following picture models a split keyboard.
- The green rectangle on the left is a Teensy LC micro controller.
- The black rectangles in the middle are two SN74HC165N shift registers daisy chained together.
- The micro controller and shift registers are connected via 5 jumper wires.
-
- Only the right matrix is shown. The left matrix is not needed for this demonstration and was omitted to reduce clutter.
-
- The right-matrix layout has 2 rows and 7 columns.
- Electronically, there is only one row of keys.
- Diodes are not needed because there is only one row.
-

-
- Building a split breadboard keyboard with shift registers
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- Add components to the breadboard as shown in the picture.
- Refer to the SN74HC165N datasheet to locate its pins.
-
- In the picture, SN74HC165N pin 1s are on the left end, towards the controller.
- Shift registers are chained together by colored wires that lay flat on the breadboard.
-
- Each shift register has 8 parallel input pins, 4 on each side.
- 14 input pins and their keys are connected to 10k pull-down resistor which are grounded (blue bus).
- 2 input pins are not used, they are grounded (blue bus).
-
- Switches are connected to power (red bus) and shift register input pins (jumpers).
-
- This table lists what gets connected to the 74HC165 pins:
-
- ```
- 74HC165 left (lower half of breadboard)
- NAME PIN# DESCRIPTION TO TEENSY LC PIN# CHAIN
- SH/LD 1 shift or load input CS0 10 green wire
- CLK 2 clock input SCK0 13 yellow wire
- D4 3 parallel input
- D5 4 parallel input
- D6 5 parallel input
- D7 6 parallel input
- /QH 7 ~serial output
- GND 8 ground gnd blue bus
-
- 74HC165 right (upper half of breadboard)
- NAME PIN# DESCRIPTION TO TEENSY LC PIN# CHAIN
- VCC 16 power pin 3.3V red wire
- CLK INH 15 clock inhibit blue bus
- D3 14 parallel input
- D2 13 parallel input
- D1 12 parallel input
- D0 11 parallel input
- SER 10 serial input blue wire to next QH
- QH 9 serial output MISO0 12 blue wire to previous SER
-
- ```
-
- 
-
- 
-
- A decoupling capacitor between the power and ground wires suppresses noise.
-
- I apologize for not providing a schematic.
-
- Sketch for split keyboard with shift registers
- ----------------------------------------------
- [keybrd_4b_split_keyboard_with_shift_registers.ino](keybrd_4b_split_keyboard_with_shift_registers/keybrd_4b_split_keyboard_with_shift_registers.ino) is a simple sketch with two shift registers.
- It will run on the above breadboard keyboard.
-
- Exercises
- ---------
- 1. Guess what happens if an unused input pin is not grounded? Try it.
