First of all, if you have not done any hardware interfacing then you probably won't know the answer to this question, just to save you time of reading this post and then realising you don't know.
I'm having some trouble figuring out how to structure commands properly when communicating via the keyboard, and in this instance, turning on the capitals lock.
The following code is in C but should be easy to figure out from whatever language you prefer:
Note: out/inportb() is the same as out/inb()
apart from the first argument is the port, and
the second is the value.
outportb(0x60, 0xED); // Send the KB command
if (inportb(0x60) == 'ú') // Check the KB sent ACK
{
outportb(0x60, 0x2); // Send the Caps lock ID (2)
if (inportb(0x60) == 'ú') // Check the KB sent ACK
{
outportb(0x60, 0x1); // Write the option bit: 1 (on)
}
}
What i have got is not correct, as no matter what values i write to the port, it never turns the capitals L.E.D on, so far i can get the number lock and scroll lock to go on, but not the capitals lock.
I would very much appriciate help on this, thanks.
EDIT: Sorry i wasn't sure which forum to put this in, but i thought that because this is not really based on the C language, it should be in the hardware section.
