122 Key Lynk Terminal
« on: Mon, 28 April 2014, 15:33:30 »
So I just purchased a NIB 122 Key Lynk Terminal keyboard. Currently, I have a Soarer converter that works fine for a model F and model M - but does not work for the Lynk.

When I plug the Lynk up it defaults to scancode 1 and outputs R06 errors and occasionally will output an actual keystroke maybe 5% of the time (but then gets stuck on it and continues to output that keystroke until I unplug the converter).

If I force scancode 3 it outputs R04, R05 and R07 errors but no keystrokes.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to how I might get this working?

Thanks!

BTW I'm running a teensy 2.0 on a windows 8 machine.

so lynk uses different scancodes than other M122's? Interesting.....

I can't see why it would, but is that what you think the errors might be indicative of?

Okay - so I keep reading in other posts about "jumpers" in terminal keyboards. Where do I find these and how do I use these?

Thanks

So after opening the keyboard I came across this PCB. Any thoughts? I don't see any place for jumpers or any switches.

This reminds me of the PCB from a model M 122 key # 1394523 except the IC and other components on the right are absent from the Lynk board.... odd...
