I kept it until he sold another one in the states, then I shipped it for him.

Does the Pegasus Hoof allow custom LED configurations on keys for the Filco?

The LEDs on the Filco are not in switch (under the key caps), they are on a row above the PgUp/Home/Ins keys.

You can configure them to have different meanings with the Easy AVR USB firmware.

Can it make the LEDs do this?

I didn't mean to light a Clack up, so sorry about that. Will it damage the Clack in any way?

In all seriousness yes, I was referring to the lighting modes.

The Filco doesn't have LED backlighting. It only has indicator LEDs for Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, (Num Lock). And those LEDs are not located inside switches. So, I don't really understand what you are wanting. The two (or three) indicator LEDs to flash and pulse?

I'm not talking about the Filco right now. What I mean to ask is can I program the same or similar lighting mode onto a kmac pcb with the firmware(kmac is just an example).

And also if I can make the LEDs above the home button cluster breath like in the video.

Maybe you can understand where the confusion lies:

Does the Pegasus Hoof allow custom LED configurations on keys for the Filco?

Different keyboards use different firmware.

Hi guys!

Any love for wasd v2? By any chance will the frosty flake work for wasd v2? The controller's the same holtek. but not sure whether if the pin layouts are the same though.

The LED's on bpiphany's controllers are connected to OCR1 pins, ie. T1 can drive them via PWM. Fairly easy to do the breathing effect. Did it in my firmware, I can shoot you the source if you are interested (PM me.)

x2. Looks like the v2 is build by Costar, they never use the same controller in different products. Plus there is some funky stuff going on the back side, could be a current source for LED back lights (I'm suspecting the Code is the same v2 w/ added LED's.)

If the USB +5 is connected to the wrong pin you could possibly do some damage.  Probably not though

hmmm. it'll break the pcb itself if the wrong pin is connected? I think I'll ask wasd whether can I get the schematics or datasheet for their controller or not.

I would strongly advise against trying that. You risk damaging the FF or even the USB port you plug it in.

Some components on the back of the original controller that are not present on the other Costar controllers.

I have updated the first post. I took the DIY kits off the list. They are almost the same amount of work for me to pack individually as toasting finished units. Also the quality of the toasting process seem to be very good. Much better than hand soldering with an iron. If anyone would still very much like to have a DIY kit I suppose it could be discussed. It makes me happy to not be the only one crazy enough to do such projects... The DIY kits also just added confusion to the line-up.

The postal services around the world do a very good job. All shipments seem to make it all the way there eventually. And I'm talking about all countries far and wide. I'm happily surprised. Sadly USPS is by far not the fastest, and a lot of orders are from the US.

This one again looks different from all other controllers. The headers are a different distance apart for starters. And there does look to be something funky going on there on the back. Some 3.3V business perhaps, I don't know.. So none of the existing replacement controller would work )=

I found 5 extra PCBs for the original HID Liberation Device replacement controller for the Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless. I built them up and if anyone is interested those four are now available as the very very last for the price of $35 plus $5 shipping.

I posted about this over in the Easy AVR thread, but I'm curious to see if anyone here has run into any incompatibilities with the new 20140521 revision of the Frosty Flake. Are there any workarounds to get Easy AVR  to work with this updated controller? Or am I out of luck until support is added? Thanks!

There are a few pin changes between the 20140521 and 20130602 versions. The Flake was the first controller I built based on the 32u2 processor. I then changed a few small things on the next controller that I thought was smart. To make all controllers more uniform I took the opportunity to change the pinout of the new Flake.

I added my new schematic file to the wiki on DT. It's a bit messy, but it should be the same and correct for all controllers except the 20130602 Flake.

A simple update of row and column pins should fix the Easy AVR program.

Yes. A slightly older version of this firmware should be preloaded, it supports ISO layout.

ANSI-schmansi, they are all the same. JIS as well I believe. Which makes sense, using the same PCB for all layouts.

There is a specification of all the components here http://deskthority.net/wiki/Costar_replacement_controllers#Hardware

I am considering buying a PCB and getting parts from somewhere else so that I can hand solder it myself because I love soldering, but I will have to wait and see if the tips that come with my new iron will be small enough.

I would suggest to get the fully assembled and tested unit and use the saved time messing with the switches of the board (if you so desire.) Having a known working controller ready to go is well worth the additional cost IMHO.

I would suggest to get the fully assembled and tested unit and use the saved time messing with the switches of the board (if you so desire.) Having a known working controller ready to go is well worth the additional cost IMHO.
That is true. Maybe I will porbably get an assembled one since it would turn out to be around $50 to build it myself since I would have to buy from 3 or 4 sources.

I searched the thread and found no answer so I'll go ahead and ask.

I've got the Rosewill RK-9000RE and the main board is a Nashville 10458 V4.0 2012-[I don't remember and didn't take a picture]. Do you know offhand whether I would go with the Black Petal or the Kitten Paw?

The Petal compatible Rosewills have a controller like this one http://deskthority.net/wiki/Controller_matrix_traces#Rosewill
and the Paw compatible ones this controller http://deskthority.net/wiki/Controller_matrix_traces#Filco_Majestouch

The distance between the header rows are also greater on the Paw (15mm) than the Petal (12mm).

I'm very certain it'll take a Petal since Nashville v4 sits betw. the CST-NFK (2011) and v5 (2012) -- both carry a "NFKB-Daughter ESD Rev 2.0". You'll have to reopen the case for verification tho.

Alright, I'll re-open the keyboard sometime in the next day or so and I'll post some photos.

I have a Nashville 4.0 board and can absolutely confirm that a Black Petal works great. Go for it!

Alright, Thanks for the info. I'd still like to take my keyboard apart again just to make sure. Haven't had the time though since starting my new job. Maybe I'll get a chance this weekend.
