Does anyone know where the original BOM lists can be found for the xwhatsit beamspring and solenoid controllers? Where did the parts list above come from?

I tried to write to mcMM but he does not answer is he still avaiable have you got any idea? thanx

yep indeed

You're probably fine. But I'd definitely check with McMM, in your case. It's possible to wreck the electronics with mistaken pins.


Yes indeed, I was actually thinking the same, one mistake, especially with the power and that's it. I was looking for the pinout but it doesn't seems to be that ...

ah thank you nice one! i hope the pinout is the same and there should be no problem

I think the easiest way is this: viewtopic.php?p=483317#p483317

and fix a few lines any clues? thank you

Hello people I just came across this piece keyboard with a strange layout and instead of trow it away i would like to give it for free I don't have an idea of what is it , only i ask the shipment money depending on your location

I think it can be done with an arduino aswell

very nice! i allready cleaned the inside and everything, unfortunately i don't know much about electronic stuff and im not shure i can do anything.. lol anyway maybe honeywell made a converter to a more standard serial port like the rs232 or rs 485 back in the days? if so it will be easier to drive ...

hello, here there is a picture from the inside, looks the same apart from the keys layout i guess is micro switch hall effect

thank you very much for your reply, I will definetly look around , i hope i can hook it to my pc

thank you very much for your passion on this topic
