Arduino Pro Micro code that allows you to use a real C64 Keyboard via USB, not just with Vice on Mac/Windows/Linux/RetroPie, but also Ultimate64, BMC64, MiSTer FPGA, etc.
- First version is a modification of firmware originally by DJ Sures (Synthiam.com) (c)2019 that simply fixes the cursor up to work using both left AND right shift
- Second version changes the C= and CTRL key behaviour, and makes C= + F7 into F12 for my preference
- The third version is mostly likely the one you want - it is a new (work in progress) rebuilt from almost ground up version that will be detected by both regular Mac/Windows/Linux AND bare-metal/FPGA such as MiSTer, BMC64 and Ultimate64. You will need the HID library for Arduino.
