deskthority

nice tips - will give the dry PTFE lube a try on my next attempt - wasn't aware of this dry lube spray - every day's a school day!
yes, a hole punch is well worth using - i used a copper pipe reducer, and filed the edge so it would aid cutting the foam

Amazing work! I dread the disassembly and reassembly processes the most for my upcoming F122 restoration, did you find that aspect to be particularly daunting your first time around? I imagine the F XT is similar enough to the 122 in case construction. hi subcat TBH, the threads i had read on the n...

I read your post more carefully and I have some questions: 1. Which sanding block grain did you use to remove the rust from the plate? 2. Which cold galvanized paint did you use? 3. Do you know the tickness of the foam you used? (I'll know when I'll open my keyboard but maybe you have this informat...

thanks for the praise on doing this restoration - glad it may be of help with anyone attempting the same

Ok, so I've already got a model F XT in pristine condition, with original box, polystyrene inserts and dust cover, but now it's time for me to take on the challenge of restoring one, saving it from the ravages of time and abuse. Firstly I had to find a worthy cause https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2...

My soldering should always be doubted. I didn't take a pic this time, but it's a bit better than before and I'm slowly improving overall. Hopefully I'll get my act together before the Ergodox Infinity on Massdrop gets here Haha, I've gone for that - no doubt we'll be abusing deskthority bandwidth w...

I think without decent pullups the converter won't work in some severe situations, or it is just lucky that it appears to work gazza341, Don't pull-up resisters help? assming you have no pull-ups. Hi Hasu, Firstly, thank you so much for the time and work put in on the TMK editor and other related s...

My job tonight is to see if the missus will let me get an oscilloscope. :D https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/?iid=291463433872&&&dispItem=1&adgroupid=33676502101&rlsatarget=pla-271883332715&abcId=893836&adtype=pla&merchantid=9565544&poi=&googleloc=9046451&device=c&campaignid=707291931&crdt=0&chn=ps only, do...

Just to clarify. I was connected to a laptop which was running on battery (not plugged into the mains power). I only experienced the issue you described when the battery started to dwindle. So, I believe it may be power related - the USB port not delivering enough juice to power the keyboard/teensy ...

Hey Coffee, just a quick sanity check - are you typing with sausage(s) finger(s)? Are you always plugged into the same pc/USB port? Is the pc you are plugged into always connected to the mains supply? I only ask, as I have experienced similar issues this evening, following an in depth test session, ...

TBH, I haven't tested it at length, so I can't really say, but as yet I haven't noticed any of the quirks you report. I'll try giving it a proper testing over the next few days EDIT: wondered what you were on about re:vaporererer - how could he know?!!! scanned my photos for any clues, but just seen...

I started to make my converter today, initially with a pro micro, but then ended up doing it with a teensy 2.0. I must say, although there is a plethora of information and knowledge to aid this conversion, it is probably overwhelming and can send you down a rabbit hole. I want to mount my solution i...

@saltyMcSushi Looks great mate - nice to know it is possible to change the look and feel, even if it is a bit of a ballache to achieve. Thanks for the tip about the volume wheel. I've ordered a db9 - think I'll go with the external solution until I'm happy with the layout - so hope to dive in at som...

Nice one, thanks for your replies. Think I'm going with the internal teensy option.
I'll be sure to document my progress on here

ok, so i've joined this party fashionably late, but i'm just embarking on the chinese pingmaster conversion. i'd like to say a massive thanks to Coffee and Red for their input and documentation on this journey - no doubt has saved me a lot of frustration and kicking of cats. A few questions are stil...

nice one. glad you got it to work, and thanks for sharing. neat wiring and soldering job.

+1 for an F77 - just placed my order
