yes, should be safe to remove that, and recompile. I've also re-written a good portion of that code as well, as the macros IMHO don't allow for a more maintainable code-base, but that's just a personal code-smell kind of thing. let me know if it still doesn't work right, i might have accidentally m...

nice wiring! could have saved yourself some extra wires by not removing that 74159 4-to-16 decoder though

That white Apple rubber dome about halfway through was one of the most abominable keyboards ever (my daughter (about 12 at the time)) had one and loved it because it was "cute" .... Pure soggy mush, and the author called it "a joy" to type on! even comparing apple rubber domes and laptop boards to ...

My favorite quote from the article: "Of course, not everyone is ready to solder their own keycaps..." I'm certainly not ready to solder any of my keycaps either. yeah I did a double take when I read that. gave them the benefit of a doubt none the less. I recall having to explain the distinction bet...

i still have to finish version two of the converter for that 029, bills and other projects have been cutting into my free cash flow. need me a raise like yesterday.

sure! im in the states, but here's a PM note (ill take care of shipping too)

This looks pretty close to cortron switches - including the driving electronics. Have you tried to reverse-engineer the driving electronics for it? I'm trying to replace the central MCU in one of those, but couple of keys are not pressed reliably and I can't understand is it because of the keys bei...

I have no idea if this will help anyone, but here's a dump of pictures of my Focus FK-727 with Blue Alps switches.

I die inside when people say "it's just a keyboard".

yeah me too, family thinks I'm nuts (they're all car folk) for collecting vintage keyboards, and computers

even if their IP's are randomized, detecting them should be as "simple" as a well trained statistical model. they make some pretty obvious patterns. im pretty sure they're also not fully automated. So I made a simulation using a very famous black list. If I had to ban by IP what the blacklist says ...

you're gonna have to define reasonable! most of the fleabay prices are WONK

oh man, love this resto! glad I'm not the only one who like "weird" colors on plates! looks good!

ah, so glad to hear you got this working! i was gonna pipe in and say that there's a big ol bug in the form of a debug statement in the middle of an interrupt routine that causes the QMK converter to bug out. if you remove that statement it works just fine. no idea why its there, or why someone tho...

nope and the mods / admins are doing wonderful work! praise be the mods / admins!

Damn now i wish i hadnt missed that meeting this month congrats, enjoy the hell outta that board, or imma annoy the hell out of you about it

woot, gottem; and damn they are smoof

let me know if you need any help with this! also yes orihalcon, XT guts fit inside, and the reverse works too!

ah, that's unfortunately no longer maintained, i would suggest the QMK converter for the 5251 (I wrote it ) there's unfortunately not really a way to avoid writing some amount of code, as i think even the QMK configurator is still a little bugged

Hi, I'm thinking about buying an IBM 5251 terminal/screen for my existing 5251 keyboard. I wonder, will this be only a decoration piece or would it be possible to get any kind of interaction between the terminal und the keyboard (without the actual computer behind it). For example: Will some charac...

what converter are you using?

ok so some updates, i did manage to get a converter made, and tested, but i had the footprint for the power supply wrong; and managed to wire the fly-back diode wrong (well and the pads of the fly-back might have been too close, but i didn't see any sparking), so had to bodge a crap-load, and ended ...

Punch card keyboards are the new beamspring! Get 'em while they're hot!

Seriously though, this is some really impressive work. I only had time to skim right now but I'll be reading this on the train ride home today for sure.

cool! let me know if you found anything confusing!

oh and the converter is available (untested!) on my github at https://github.com/listofoptions/IBM-02 ... -converter

ok so this will be my first really long and drawn out post on this forum, been lurking and poking in various topics every now and again. right so with that out of the way: a little over a year ago i snagged one of these bad boys: https://i.imgur.com/ZTaKemo.jpg mighty dirty too, there was a mat or a...

welp IMMA HARD CORE DERP i gave you the wrong address, thanks @Isoelxi for catching that and forwarding it.
the offer still stands for any weirdo foodstuffs (that will transport) from the states that you want.

ok so if i recall correctly microswitch hall effect switches are open collector output on pins 2 and 3, pins 1 and 4 are power and ground. the reason you need resistors on pins 2 and 3 is because current flows when there is a potential difference (waters moves from areas of high pressure to low pres...
