I'm looking to build something similar to this:
http://www.raildriver.com/products/raildriver.php
albeit not as advanced or complex. In order to control the simulator (Kuju Rail Simulator or Microsoft Tran Sim) I need to be able to send 'keystrokes' to the computer from a PICAXE. I know a PICAXE can read characters from a PS2 keyboard, but can connect to the computer's PS2 keyboard connector and 'pretend' to be a keybaord?
Otherwise, how difficult would it be to send commands via a normal serial connection to a VB script (or similar), which would then have to 'simluate' keystokes? I haven't really done much in VB, just C.
