Can anyone identify these?

Second pic I can see a model M looking thing, except it has windows keys (might be a unicomp) and a dell at101(?) and an NEC APC H412. First picture is rather lackluster though.

Can you point out the NEC APC H412?

Can anyone identify anything mechanical in these two pictures?

I tried to buy it, but the lady selling it refuses to ship it to me...

The culprit.



I would be lying if I said this didn't legitimately upset me.

I have some xwhatsit pcbs for sale if you want those: Beamspring Controller Solenoid Driver Though, at the risk of not selling crap I'm trying to get rid of, I'd also go with CommonSense. That's how I converted my beamspring, I tried to solder up the xwhatsit controller two (three? I lost count) tim...

I am proud to be one of the subscribers on your YouTube channel

What's his youtube?

If it makes you feel any better Zed, I can't get the solenoid working either. Might have to ask DMA about it. I'm not confident enough in my soldering abilities to rule out that it isn't me messing up assembly and causing something to short out and die. I want to rule that out before I try to debug...

Left is a Realforce R2 TKL, Right is a Phantom TKL with Gateron Reds in a TEX aluminum case.

The Collection (most of it, at least)

So awesome! Fantastic diligence with the restorations man!

Please persist my good Pancake Master. You have already reached further than I was able. Your tribulations may serve to enlighten me, and save me frustration from future obstacles when I eventually resume tinkering with Common Sense

At your service

Just to add: this is a *hobby*, something we all do in our own time and when we have spare energy. It's not a trade, nor barter or any other exchange, but a *gift*, and should be accepted as such. Y'know, gift horse and mouth and all that? I think xmit narrowed it down to the main point: none of th...

Open source does not mean you get to randomly decide receiving free tech support for your free software is actually you doing "quality control work." Beyond unreasonable position to try to turn someone helping you into you helping them and demanding satisfaction for that. I'm not demanding anything...

Kind of hard to see who DMA owes anything to. He doesn't. But that's not my point, or my problem. My point is that we are providing information to DMA on how to improve his product by reporting on issues we encounter, and my problem is that instead of being appreciated for that, we are belittled an...

Okay DMA, if you want to play me the asshole, then that's how you want to do it and there's nothing I can do to change that. I will say that I don't appreciate being called "the worst tech support case ever," especially when all I was trying to do was get help when your converter wasn't working for ...

If anyone wants to help me get layers working, I'd appreciate it. I'm having trouble with them.

Let's get this out of the way: I'm typing this comment on my beamspring. Congrats dude! Let's hope it doesn't "change it's mind" and go back to how it was acting before. Eep let's hope not! I don't think it will though. I think there was just something wrong with the previous Cypress I was using.

Okey dokey. Let's get this out of the way: I'm typing this comment on my beamspring. I wish I had some "Eureka!" moment or discovery, but all I did was rewire everything to a brand new Cypress spare that arrived a few days ago. I do not know what happened. What I do I know is that because I was havi...

Old Logo Dell branded Model M

Let's assume with replacement keycaps. I'm just not quite sure how sought after that logo is on a model M.

Controller Replacement This is the approach I took. You can see some details in the thread I started earlier this year. https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/blob/master/Scan/Deprecated/EpsonQX-10/scan_loop.c It's actually pretty straight-forward to do. Just a little bit tedious. However, this appr...

Long story short - I think it's kind of hard. I'm also interested in this, though, as I just picked up an Epson something-or-other, I'll post the model number this evening. I believe @snacksthecat has experience with converting Fujitsu leaf springs and could offer some advice/suggestions. He also co...

I have tried, desperately, to be very polite throughout all my exchanges here. All I care about is getting my beamspring working, not getting into petty arguments, but DMA is constantly antagonizing and insulting, and seems to assume everyone is an idiot because they can't look at his code for five...

@PancakeMSTR Have you tried different usb cable(s)? Are you using a usb hub? These are a few things that have tripped me up in the past with stuff like this. No clue if these will actually help but wanted to share my experience. I will try to think of other things as well. I've been using the same ...

go stare at matrix output. All you'll ever need to fixing the scans is there. If you're not able to deduce from that info what's wrong - there's nobody in the world to help you. Yeah, EXCEPT FOR YOU . That's why I'm asking - nay - PLEADING for your help! WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR??? And, since you're n...

Hey, let's just relax. This is a frustrating problem for both of us. I understand that "unsafe" means the keys are spamming, what I don't understand is how to fix that problem. My grounds are setup to spec, and the I'm using settings on FC that were with the previous source not giving me "unsafe" bu...

Okay so this is sort of interesting. I go through all the steps I outlined in my previous comment. I'm at the point where I've uploaded the config to EEPROM. I close flight controller and (usually, not always) can get output from the keyboard at this point. Spamming keys, as usual. Now, I unplug the...

Also, now when I start up FC the "UNSAFE" indicator is lit up red and I can't get "Scan" or "Output" to stay green (I get the "Scan module has gone insane and had to be shot!" error). That's noise/grounding issue. Docs tell what to check in that case. Also it's good that it trips - it will bring do...

DMA - Just wanted to let you know, tried the new source since your last commit, no change in behavior. Still can't get output outside of FC no matter what I do. Also, now when I start up FC the "UNSAFE" indicator is lit up red and I can't get "Scan" or "Output" to stay green (I get the "Scan module ...
