Hi! I have recently bought Philips P2812 keyboard. I tried to convert it by both Soarer's and TMK XT converters but without any success. Only LED blinks for a second, no response from keyboard.

I think protocole should be XT because NMB first and second generation XT boards used very similar PCB and controllers.

Has anyone tried to convert this board? Maybe I got wirings wrong or simply this board doesn't use XT protocol.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately I can't help you, but I'm interested in the outcome and hope you will succeed.
I love those old XT keyboards with their stepped keyscaps and this Philips version seems to have the prettiest XT caps, I've seen so far.

Thanks! I have never seen dyesubs this sharp, NMB keycaps are simply amazing

I have the Corona version of this board and this should help you. wiki/Corona_PPC-400

Also you can attach a pinout to the p2 spot on the board and use an internal converter if you don't have the original cable.

What converter did you flashed on arduino? It works with TMK XT converter but while typing some random keys hangs

I have the exact same keyboard except is rebranded by an unknown company. It worked well with a Soarer for almost a year and then died. Quite sad, the switches are great but the quality of the case is awful.

I used Soarers converter on mine and it works fine.

Yeah, quality of the case is comparable to Cherry boards. Fortunately keycaps and switches are great

Turns out that I had connected reset line this whole time, with TMK converter you can do that on micro pro. I disconnected it and now it works perfectly with Soarers. Thanks for help!

Glad that you got it working!

BTW which switches did yours come with?
