The PCBs are thicker but they still fit. I also installed one in my 2014 GE Medical Unicomp. You just need to use a worrying amount of force and come in from the right angle. I mean...I guess I can try yet again? But I've already tried a handful of times, and yes also changing up the angle of appro...

I mentioned this in a Reddit thread that has gotten zero responses thus far, causing me to conclude that nobody else has yet tried this (which seems a little surprising?), buuuuuuut... ...contrary to Sharktastica's otherwise-excellent and very helpful write-up which suggests that these new "Aristide...

Well to begin with, the Classic Style FSSK isn't even shipping yet. It's in a pre-order phase. Kinda hard for anybody to write a "comparison" between products when nobody has yet been able to get their hands on at least one of the contenders, so I'm not sure why you are expressing surprise that you ...

My real dream converter would be a single metal box with AT, PS/2, ADB and NeXT ports across one side, a USB C socket on the adjacent side*, and some mounts so I can screw it to the underside of my desk. So, basically, the exact opposite of this thing :) : https://www.tindie.com/products/dekunukem/...

What I’d really like to see is RP2040 support for QMK powered controllers (for regular non-capsense keyboards, too) and especially converters for PS/2 vintage keyboards, with a modern interface to match. The Leyden Jar firmware source is built on top of QMK, just as pandrew's xwhatsit-for-QMK is. T...

I'm very excited about the RP2040 project, as I am feeling the pain of the ATmega's limitations more and more everyday. That said, not *super* excited about the prospect of soldering in my own if I want to replace the controller on my existing boards...you know how some people who are poor dancers s...

I'd advise uploading things to GitHub or elsewhere rather than DT's notoriously picky attachment system. I've specifically been actively trying to avoid doing exactly this for most of this project, in part because QMK has already been forked all to hell by countless others, and it's already extreme...

Got a link? A wee search in this notoriously busy thread finds this , but the attached .7z files won't extract for me. Yes that's the right link. I see that you managed to get it extracted, but I'm also curious to know what app you are using to try to extract them that was failing to deal with them...

There are safeguards against garbage data so it _should_ just fall back to not using the saved calibration results in case the data doesn't pass validation. It seems that the safeguards are not kicking in, just based on the fact that I see it read in garbage data and set the threshold values for al...

Another possibility that comes to mind is the util_comm.c file - disabling the util support entirely might help. I did try to not replace util_comm.c, [...] I also discovered that using the old util_comm.c with your latest matrix.c broke the signal level monitor and keypress monitor tests entirely ...

NathanA have you managed to get the pandrew Signal Level Monitor utility working with Via/Vial? I like to use the Signal Level Monitor part of the utility to test each keyboard before mailing it. Yes. The pandrew utility has worked with the Vial firmwares I've released ever since the very first one...

The DAC is 4 times more precise on your keyboard than the new ones, [...] I'd love to know what you are referring to here? It's news to me that (aside from the matrix mapping) there are significant differences between the original xwhatsit controllers, and the "shrunken" wcass version that found it...

The Arkku calibration routine adds a whopping 3K of additional code to QMK, compared to pandrew's. My builds of Vial were already on the tight side, with only ~1K of space to spare. Hmm, this does not correspond to what I remember the difference being. Are you comparing with the same configuration ...

[...] although QMK & Vial don't particularly care about the USB VID/PID, unfortunately VIA *does*, and requires a unique VID+PID for a given unique keyboard layout, which means the F62 and F77 cannot share the same VID+PID with each other when paired with VIA [...] So not sure what the solution to ...

I've always found the Model M actuation weight to be perfect, but Model F's a bit too light for my liking. Not that it would be easy or quick, but I suppose you could try buying a bunch of Model M springs and flippers , removing the springs from the flippers, and attaching them to the flippers of y...

I am interested in trying to backport Arkku's updated calibration routines to [my] private Vial tree [...] I have Arkku's code running on a copy of Vial-enabled QMK firmware now...in fact, I'm typing this out right now on a keyboard that's running it! However, this marriage is still far from perfec...

In fact, I liked the original QMK's "LShift" + "RShift" + "b" combination to enter bootloader mode. I didn't succeed, however, in reestablishing this combination using Vial so far. Setting up the combination in Vial's "Combo" tab worked fine, but seemed to just generate an ordinary chip reset witho...

[...] I wonder if NathanA has compiled his Vial firmware newfxx-vial_20220405.zip with setting VIAL_INSECURE = yes which weren't anything I'd like to keep. If he had mentioned his configuration, I haven't been unable to unearth it from the 253 pages of this thread. Hi. I literally explained this in...

Those are sample keys that are unfortunately not available, though they were nice. Ah: got it. But also, Aww: that's too bad. :lol: I knew the sets you were selling with the BS boards were manufactured in response to an order you placed. Since the beamspring project was still in its infancy at the ...

What set of caps were being shown in the pictures in the very first post of this thread? Those pictures significantly pre-date when Ellipse discovered the caps he is selling alongside these boards, so I have to assume it is a different yet somewhat generally-available set?

Wow, it's been a while since I've checked in here... (life things: crazy @ work, some health issues, etc.; the usual) Clearly a lot has happened in the past year+ and I need to take some time to get caught up. :lol: But the good news is that my New F77s still work great & I'm still enjoying them imm...

A helpful person emailed me the answer to setting up the toggle keys - the secret to getting the right side blocks 4 and 5 working. <snip> ... the TG key ... </snip> Maybe we just didn't describe it well in our posts to this thread, but this is literally , 100% the exact same thing that those of us...

pandrew , thanks for piping in and setting the record straight. ...unfortunately, this won't guarantee that anybody will actually read your post when we flip over to page 251 & people just start asking all of the same questions all over again... :roll: 1) To make the debugging features in util.exe ...

Somehow when I ordered this keyboard I was under the mistaken assumption that it would be a complete, working product out of the box. I assume by "working" you mean that because you ordered the Mac keys, your preferred key bindings/layout would already be preprogrammed for you? (You didn't hint tha...

seriously looks like your RP3 and RP4 are 10-pin while PCB is made for 8-pin ones. :o I would never have spotted that with my eyes in those pics. I think you've nailed it. [...] or they thought they could get away with using the 5 array and they might have been able to if they'd have gotten the spa...

What, like this? !!! Honestly, that's...not bad. I do think that the caps lock with the LED in the center of the padlock is the most awkward of the 3...looks a bit visually crowded, maybe? As I said, it's a hard problem to solve, and IBM did this to themselves... Still, this is my favorite effort t...

The pad-printed keys look awesome... NathanA I don't think I'll be making the smaller LED overlays for Unicomp boards as the tooling would be different/extra. Again, totally makes sense. But just so that we are absolutely crystal-clear: the Unicomp (& also IBM and Lexmark Gen 4 boards like 42H1292) ...

My Num-Lock is keyboard based and also works with Macs. Looked at your keymap.c, and this is exactly identical to how I did it, just using Vial instead of in code (QMK keymap.c): "Num Lock" doesn't trigger system Num Lock but just selects a layer where the keys on that block are set to number keys,...

I'm a neat QMK man myself. No rocks, no water. Well played, sir. As a refresher, here is where I first discussed this issue . In it, I mention that though the Ellipse VIA builds (excepting JIS and scumyc) all have this issue with that particular pad, darkcruix's VIA builds do not. Only trouble is t...

You really can't just assign something useful to the key in layer 0 using Pandrew's web interface? None of the preconfigured layouts on the web interface un-hide that pad. Except for if you pick LAYOUT_all . So that might be a possible workaround. LAYOUT_all will force you to pick key bindings for ...
