Host Commands
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These commands are sent by the Host to the Keyboard. The most common command would be the setting/resetting of the Status Indicators (i.e. the Num lock, Caps Lock & Scroll Lock LEDs). The more common and useful commands are shown below.

ED Set Status LED's - This command can be used to turn on and off the Num Lock, Caps Lock & Scroll Lock LED's. After Sending ED, keyboard will reply with ACK (FA) and wait for another byte which determines their Status. Bit 0 controls the Scroll Lock, Bit 1 the Num Lock and Bit 2 the Caps lock. Bits 3 to 7 are ignored.


The host indeed sends commands to the keyboard.

         bit banging examples            01/01/70 00:00      
         ???            01/01/70 00:00      
            Ok then,            01/01/70 00:00

                  I have tried using            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Not instructions            01/01/70 00:00      
                        So, if he did not state which assembler he uses            01/01/70 00:00      
                           yes            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I read the assembler manual;            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Number format?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    read through the assembler manual            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Done, as well as reading your links            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Is P1 defined?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             That was indeed the problem            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                * $            01/01/70 00:00

                                                         Actually that's a code            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            do you have a "main"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               My hardware is AT89S52            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  that may never happen            01/01/70 00:00

               do not translate            01/01/70 00:00      
                  which assembler?            01/01/70 00:00      
   turnkey solutions, free, but not 805x            01/01/70 00:00      
      The whole exercise - As I See It - IMHO.            01/01/70 00:00      
         If he's willing to do the work ...            01/01/70 00:00
