You can use the decorders of course, it would be easy to write code to use them if you can track traces of the pcb and find datasheet of the decorders. But I can't say about how to implement universal feature supports various decorders used on every keyobard but it would be certainly helpful to othe...

Redmaus, Thanks for the test! and good to know it works with the keyobard. As for Wyse, this doesn't support Wyse proprietary protocol. If the board speaks in AT, XT or Terminal protocol the converter should works. At this time I'm interested in test results with keyboards below particularly. It wou...

anyone?

Yes, one for Caps and other for Bluetooh status for Hybrid. I believe that top half assembly is common for both Classic and Hybrid model, though I don't look into Hybrid yet. You are refering this? It is reed switch soldered by me to get access to bootloader, not their job of course. :D https://i.im...

I got this board from Yahoo! auction Japan. The board has so many keys that spit out unsual scan code, to use all of the keys you will have to program them with Tipro software or need PS/2 converter with custom firmware. Its switches are plate-mounted Cherry Blacks, the board is good source of chery...

I got one the other day and took some photos including its internals.

anyone can help?

REQUEST FOR HELP: Try and report your result.
Post your keyboard model number here, also debug outputs on hid_listen would be helpful.

ZedTheMan , Yes, reset button would be a must-have when in trouble. I don't recommend to use converter without reset button like orihalcon's for now at least. To use Teensy or Pro Micro is fine and safe. If the firmware recognize your keyboard correctly you can put it into bootloader mode by holding...

IBM PC Keyboard Converter The converter translates IBM PC keyboard protocols to plug classic keyboards into modern computer with USB ports. It supports both IBM XT and AT protocols, and all of scan code set 1, 2 and 3 with one firmware. This project is intended to integrated existent TMK XT, PS/2 a...

Ah, then post schematic of your pcb so that we can check your matrix scan code.

And, what is your exact MCU part number or source?
Did you fiddle with MCU fuse setting with ISP programmer, perhaps?

what's your pcb exactly? And is it really compatible to GH60? GH60 is used just for promotional word by some vendors these days and some of them don't seem to retain its spirit of openess at all. There seems to be some variants different from original GH60 in the market. And, try disabling BOOTMAGIC...

This is really great work! Thanks a lot, lsoelxi and snuci.

@Hypersphere, thanks for the report.
You don't need post both forum. Use thread on Geekhack for USB-USB converter related topic.

@hasu: I've been using your splendid USB-USB converter with my new RF R2 TKL PFE Edition keyboard. It works fine, but when I reboot my Win 10 computer, I then have to unplug the converter from the computer and replug it in order for the keyboard to function. Is this normal for the USB-USB converter...

Unimap itself doesn't support custom control of keyboard LEDs. By default TMK firmware controls the indicators with led_set() in led.c depending on request from host computer. You have to write C code in you unimap/keymap file. You can control keyboard indicators on ADB keyboard using 'adb_host_kbd_...

Hi Hasu! Strange things happen… Just now, for instance, I noticed your reply in the Forum Spy, so I toggled the mouse keys layer with Fn + V to mouse over and click the link to this thread. Which worked fine. Then I tried to get back to Layer 0 to write this response. But I couldn't! I was stuck in...

Can't you disable the numpad and mouse layer with pressing L1+{C, V}? Layer1 is disabled when you release L1(on layer 0), so Toggle keys(T*) on Layer1 is not available on Layer2(numpad) and 3(mouse) without pressing L1. Or you want to place real toggle keys on those layers instead of 'TRNS' so that ...

Parameters of KEYMAP in your poker.c doesn't match for keymap common.
Check fourth line and the last(fifth) line of your KEYMAP().

Current firmeware(ps2_interrupt.c) doesn't support two instances of PS/2 device(keyboard and mouse) unfortunately. I believe it is possible to support the two PS/2 devices with some fixes on the related source codes, though. You will have to parameterize clock and data pin configuration to give to P...

As we have discussed here Soarer's converter is not completely compatible to XT keyboard protocol, it works with many of XT keyboards while it doesn't with some of them including Zenith this Z-150 XT and a few rearely boards unfortunately. TMK XT firmware is implemented carefully in conformity with ...

Those two keys are defined as 'dual role key'(for layer change) in default keymap of my converter. You can define your keymap and comiple firmware using 'adb_fix_macally' branch.

Good old trusty kbdbabel.org has one. It translates it to PS/2 not USB and controller is 8051 though. https://github.com/tmk/kbdbabel/tree/master/kbdbabel-lk-ps2 (its sourceforge repo has been unuseful now so I mirrored it in github.) The keyboard is well docmented here if you are willing to work on...

Great! Thanks for the log. I'll merge the patch into master repository later after some further tests. As for keyboard replug it seems that the converter can detect plugin for some keyboards(M0116, AEK, AEKII, IIGS) but not for others(Apple adjustable keyboard) with current firmware at least. The Ma...

Thanks for the test, njm. Hmm, oddly, the Macally keyboard sends scancode in illegal ADB 16-bit data format against the protocol. Just ad-hoc patched for this keyboard. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/commit/0cf0fc1701da3bd5e40aefb73a31a7c39f96b58c#diff-bcb388a4035683b92a29b21474216044 Try this ...

which key did you short circuit when the error occured? quote, perhaps?
The keyboard seems to send scancode in wrong format from the aspect of what documented protocol expects.

Muirium, Thanks for testing.

You have to edit keymap file and build from source codes but I'll add support for XT converter to online keymap editor some later.

How about programming the converter to emit a hard reset pulse every few seconds when there’s no keyboard online? That ought to wake one up soon after connection. Is there a downside to this? I don't think converter/host can detect plug/unplug of XT keyboard reliably, perhaps we can use reset line ...

Great! Thank you for the testing.

Z-150 certainly needs 'hard reset' by pulse on RESET line and it doesn't work without it, hmm, interesting.
The hard reset happens only once when the converter starts up, so yes, you have to connect keyboard into the converter before pluging it to host.

AHA! I just realized that this is likely just a case of me having the stupid as I often tend to do, as I had the wrong pin soldered for the RESET line! I eagerly look forward to rectifying this when I have the time to return to my soldering station at home. It didn't make a difference for the soare...
