Symbol Keyboard | Mini Project JMP001 | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay

This is the inaugural Mini Project! I introduced the Mini Projects recently. They are developed and published by Silicon Chip magazine, and sponsored by Jaycar Electronics (which is an Austrlaian electronics store, similar to Radio Shack in the USA, hopefully it doesn’t end up suffering the same fate.)
In this project, codenamed JMP001, we develop a USB keyboard which can send interesting and unusual symbols (which aren’t usually available on a keyboard) to a Windows computer using the alt-codes that it supports in a typical codepage.
For this first Mini Project I felt it was important to actually buy my components from Jaycar which I did for roughly eighty Australian dollary doos. Approximately US$50. The parts I ordered were these:
- Duinotech Leonardo r3 Main Board | Jaycar Electronics
- Duinotech Arduino Compatible 2.8 Inch Colour LCD Touch Screen Display | Jaycar Electronics
- 0.5m USB A male to Micro-B Cable | Jaycar Electronics
Belatedly I did also search for rubber feet.
There was quite a lot that went into the production of this video, and we accumulated a lot of links. Those are here:
- Mini Projects – John’s wiki
- Symbol USB Keyboard – May 2024 – Silicon Chip Online
- Arduino Learning Kits – YouTube
- Maker Hub – Projects | Jaycar Electronics
- Arduino keyboard emulator with fingerprint login | Jaycar Electronics
- Jaycar-Electronics @ GitHub
- Keyboard – Arduino Reference
- Leonardo | Arduino Documentation
- resistive vs capacitive touch screen at DuckDuckGo
In the end this first project was relatively successful, and we did get it to work fairly well on one of my Windows computers. As for the rest you can find out for youself in the video!

I did find a video of a guy who essentially just explained all the problems I ran into: Banana Plugs & Binding Posts
And this one over here confiremed: How to fit a Banana Plug
