Original Design
This product was designed by 8BitFlux.com. By buying this product your support original hardware creators.

Set the ASCII data using the DIP switches, press keypress and off you go! A trained finger puts only one character on the screen. The circuit is implemented without debouncing to keep it simple.

Onboard clear screen (Apple-1 only) and reset buttons. Experiment further with the breakout pins for the keyboard connector. For the Apple-1; a solder jumper is added to unhook the 8th input bit off the 5V, meant for the advanced user. The power out connector can be used in further experiments. This keyboard can be used on top of the Character Generator Tester and ASCII Keyboard Tester Tiny.

Unsoldered kit comes with the pcb, all parts, schematics and bill of materials. The Apple-1 and Apple 2 in the pictures are for illustrative purposes only and are not part of the kit.
