IBM 4704 Model F200 62-key keymap configurator with beeper?

I changed the original controller to the great pandrew one with a pro micro soldered onto it.

Re: IBM capsense usb util not working
Thanks y'all!
Problem was the grounding. The wire wasn't attached properly. Now it's running like a dream.

IBM capsense usb util not working

Only problem is multiple keystrokes if I hit the keys a bit too hard. Therefore I want to calibrate the switches with capsense.

IBM 5251 Beamspring Keyboard - Triggering the Solenoid
Did a successful conversion to USB with an xwhatsit controller, but can't find a key to toggle the Solenoid on and off.
In Chyrosran22's video he just says he has mapped the layer key + F1 to solenoid on/off. Can't find such an option on the QMK configurator.
Any idea?
