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...

Ah, damn, my Zenith seems to be electrically fucked one way or another. When I plug in the converter with your firmware (the converter is tested working with Soarer's firmware on other boards), it makes a temporary beep of the solenoid, and the Num Lock LED is stuck lighting up. The keyboard remain...

It will work if the LED is placed on PD4 properly. Yes, you have to post your wiring on pic or schematic preferably if you need more help. EDIT: did you setup ps/2 converter with your Fujitsu leafspring keyboard? it would be helpful to know how the specific keys works if you can show us your keymap ...

I have reseached XT keyboard protocol and worked on XT-USB converter recently. I think I understood the protocol and implemented its converter correctly. Can anyone with Z-150 XT keyobard test my converter and give feedback? Test with any other XT keyboards are also appreciated. The converter firmwa...

It registers special charactors in international keyboard layout.
Alt(Opt) key is stuck for some reason? I think you could try reseating the keycap.

I would add exteral pullup resistors on signal lines at first, this won't be harmful at least. Adafruit code doesn't use internal pullup on the KEYBOARDIN pin and depends solely on output circuit in keyboard. https://github.com/adafruit/USB-NeXT-Keyboard/blob/master/USB_NeXT_Keyboard.ino#L100 You ma...

Anyone Want to help me here? I'm going to attempt to wire this together on a small breadboard. At least tell me the value of the resistors. I think I can see 99 percent of the traces on those great pictures from the first post. So, I should be able to figure out the wiring from that, but I'm having...

@snacksthecat many unfamiliar keys... :D You can see ps/2 scan codes with 'hid_listen' if some keys on the keyboard are not supported by the converter. Let me know the scan codes I'll be able to add support for unsupported keys. You don't have to define specific keymap template for this keyboard, yo...

I wanna think that the matrix is okay because it was brand spankin' new when I got it. Literally had never seen the light of day. I'm considering exploring the following two avenues: a. buying an actual CIT324 and sniffing the communication between the board and the machine or b. sourcing a second ...

DEC VT100 keyboard has just one signal line for communication and the line is bidirectional but half duplex , while VT220 and later models has two signal lines for RX and TX respectively or full duplex. I guess that this keyboard uses half duplex like VT100 , that being said, its 4800bps asynchronou...

The user manual said in chapter 3 as "The CIT326 keyboard is a fully compatible DEC VT220-style keyboard. "
So you can know its interface and protocol from DEC documents probably?

Error -30 usually indicates that your wiring is wrong unless your keyboard is in bad shape. Check your pullup resistor value(1K-10K should be ok) and wire connections. Are you sure that wire connections from keyboard is correct? If your give power and ground connection properly the keyboard LEDs bli...

you guys are talking without thread starter as usual :D After seeing the XTant, FSSK/FEXT, Model MF, and the 3277 PCBs, I'm wondering what the PCB of the 50-key IBM 4740 keyboards look like. (That's the 10 x 5 ortholinear one). I know that a number of people here have them. Has anyone scanned the PC...

This may be a niche thing, but does soarers allow for rapid fire inject? What this is is, when you press multiple keys at the same time, all of the keys pressed repeat instead of the last key, for example: Not RFI: asddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd RFI: asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasd As lo...

You problem is likey to be your wiring as many poeple had.
I can't say soldering job in the pic is good I think you are very new to these things. Your will find someone with skill to ask help in your family(dad or son?), classmates or colleagues.
