My IBM 3178 C2 "Blue switch" arrived today. I'd like to keep this board as original as possible and don't want to replace the controller with a CY8C-059 controller, at least not as of yet. I've seen references to a converter which appears to be a promicro based controller. The maintenance guide for ...

Look what arrived in mail today ! Tada! IMG_20190621_160003.jpg Notice the Nav cluster. It originally came with a ridiculous block cluster, I immediately moved some keys around and I now have the perfect nav cluster.

I have no foam on one of my Model Fs. The keyboard works and sounds great. https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21888&p=444524&hilit=model+f+xt+restoration#p444524 When compared to the another Model F I own, that does have a foam, the sound on the one without a foam is slightly more pingy.

This board is popularly known as the Model F blue-switch and is also the only Model F that has a solenoid . From all who use this board, need some pointers on its conversion. On ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/163734585116 I see there is a converter that looks like a promicro converter (?). If anyone ...

You can make one yourself for about 10 USD if you get yourself a capsense controller.

From the picture it seems the red light is ON on the promicro. If everything was wired up and flashed correctly you should only see a continuous green light. Check if the cables are shorting each other ? Check if the solder is constrained to the correct pinouts...
