Hi,
short question:
Are the LEDs of a PC-keyboard driven by the keyboard
processor itsself or do they react on signals send
back from the system when recogizing a - for example
-- "Caps Lock event" ?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

On a PC, they're controlled by the PC.
For fun, check out the old 'blinkenlights' program.
