#109909 - back in the old days ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
One of my older encoded keyboards is discretely encode, using a 74150 data selector (multiplexer) and a 7442 data distributor (decoder) and a counter to drive them. If you wire the switches correctly you can generate, precisely, the standard ASCII code for a 16x8 matrix of keys. A little more logic is needed to make a caps-lock work, though.

I'd be surprised if there isn't quite a bit of detail about keyboard encoding on the www, even without lookup tables as used in the PC keyboard. However, it might be easier simply to use a PC keyboard and translate its output. There's plenty of data about that on the www.
