This source code support the original: PIC16F883 and a alternative compatible pinout: PIC18F26k20.
If you have the microsoft chip, you can replace it with one of this PIC's.
To flash use the pickit3 programmer, see the pinout in img folder
The chatpad keyboard use 3.3v, and have a boost converter on the right side, to go at 3.8V.
If you remove it, you can do a bypass on boost, and power it at 5V.
To compile use Mikroc in https://www.mikroe.com/mikroc-pic or get the hex files in the hex folder.
To do in the future:
- Add support to PS2 in C7 and A7 pins (the only avaliable) Needed more flash space... move to PIC18F26k20.
- Add sleep mode option (100 nA).
- Add more key options
