Emulate a computer keyboard to control a MiniDisc Recorder
Hi Maxers,
Everything is in the title: I'd like to control a MiniDisc Recorder (SONY MDS-E10) via the keyboard port but with a computer instead of a keyboard...
I'm wondering if I can emulate keyboard datas (with a serial port for instance). I've got a Keyspan USB to serial adapter.
Any idea? How to wire stuff together? What should I send to the serial object?
Thanks in advance for your answers...
Benoit.
Any idea?
Even if to say that's impossible?
hi there. it sure is possible, but you left some information out. start here

there are ready made solutions out there.
those it have a ir remote? might be easier to "sniff" the remote commands
and feed it wireless(ly), this method is used by some home built PVR
configurations (to change channels before recording etc.)
