keybrd Tutorial 4 - split keyboard with I/O Expander
|
||
|
|
====================================================
|
||
|
|
When you finish this tutorial you will be able to be able to modify a 2-matrix keybrd sketch to suite your own split keyboard design.

Overview of split keyboard with I/O Expander
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
The breadboard in this picture models a split keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The breadboard's four bus strips are used as rows.
|
||
|
|
Two rows (blue buses) are connected to the microcontroller.
|
||
|
|
Two rows (red buses) are connected to the I/O expander.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The I/O expander is a MCP23S17.
|
||
|
|
It has a small notch on one end, which identifies pin 1.
|
||
|
|
In the picture, pin 1 is on the right end.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MCP23S17 communicates via SPI protocol, where Teensy LC is the master, and MCP23S17 is slave.
|
||
|
|
The Teensy LC and MCP23S17 are connected by 6 jumper wires:

A decoupling capacitor suppresses high-frequency noise from the power supply.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MCP23S17's I/O expander address is configured by hardware pins.
|
||
|
|
The MCP23S17 with all address pins grounded has an device address of 0x20.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MCP23S17's /RESET pin is connected to VDD.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MCP23S17 I/O expander has two ports. Each port has eight pins.
|
||
|
|
Port B is connected to the matrix's rows. Port A is connected to the matrix's columns.

Building a split keyboard with I/O Expander
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Starting with the basic breadboard keyboard described in [tutorial_1_breadboard_keyboard.md](tutorial_1_breadboard_keyboard.md), add parts as described above.
|
||
|
|
Refer to the MCP23S17 datasheet to locate its pins.
|
||
|
