Hi,

I'm second year student at UTP in Poland. I have to do project based on STM32F407VG. It's just simply communication with keyboard. But I have problem - power on my keyboard. I read that to power PS/2 I have to get 5V and max. 300mA. What i research that 5V output power its ok for my STM. But, I still dont have respone from keyboard. Can someone help me solve this? #keyboard #stm32f4 #ps/2

Many of the GPIO pins on the STM32F407 are 5V-tolerant; double-check in the user manual that the pins that you’re using are 5V tolerant.

“5V tolerant� means that a pin can safely read a 5V digital signal without burning out, but they can’t transmit at 5V and many keyboards may not respond to 3.3V signals.

You will need a level translator to convert the 3.3V logic out of the STM32 into 5V logic signals.There are many ways to do this, including transistors, an op-amp, or a purpose-built level translator IC.If I recall correctly, the data line is bidirectional so you will also need to deal with that.

Diagram the pins and connections used. Show the code you are using to read and clock the keyboard.

Hi, thanks for reply :) I figured out and I get power to keyboard by 5V pin, I check this and its 4.8V. But I have problem with pressing button on keyboard. If I do that, clock line is not falling. Here is code:
