Model F AT 'ANSI' Conversion question

[anmq91]

Hey guys,

So I just ordered up some keycaps from Unicomp to give my Model F AT an ANSI Mod (Without changing the spacebar). I just want to have the normal 2u backspace, 1.5u '|\' and the ANSI 2u enter. I am using the keyboard over an Orihalcon cable with soarers converter.

I just realized though that I will need to reprogram the controller to correctly read the key presses when the new keys/flippers are in place. Just wanted to ask if I am correct in thinking this, and wondering if anybody could help me out with the coding. I have never coded in my life before, so not even sure where to start!

Any help would be highly appreciated

Soarer's original thread has a full set of documents in the original post, but Orihalcon will probably be happy to tell you how to set up one of his cables is you ask him directly.

Use hid_listen to determine the scancodes, then look for them in 'Modified HID Code' table (codes.html, Soarer's Converter docs).
Exampe. To map those two additional pads under the spacebar to left and right Alts you need the following remaps:

Code: Select all

EXTRA_LALT         LALT
EXTRA_RALT         RALT

Thanks for the help guys, I will get on it as soon as the keys arrive

I preferred changing the space bar, though, giving my f at a more resembling F122 look. The genuine space-bar had a so big ass old fashion appearance...
Go on, It will be very easy to finalize your project as I did not long ago. I used the following code to set Soarer's firmware up and running. Good luck

Your board looks awesome! I love the mix of caps and the alternative design in the F cluster
Thank you so much for sharing your code, it gives me an awesome starting point to get to work on. Would also help me set up my macros. I've got my work cut out for me over Christmas!
