Hey folks!
I recently got two of the Alps switch IBM boards this converter/firmware works with...
For one of the keyboards I've already ordered a controller made by hasu to use with it.
For the 2nd keyboard I'd like to start learning some things I've not yet learned, such as some basic electronics stuff, like soldering, using a breadboard, etc..
If I am reading the docs hasu has nicely provided to us correctly, I am wondering the following:
If I had a teensy 2.0 with pins already in it, a breadboard, maybe some wiring, and some wire strippers/cutters, I should be able to use this firmware to get a converter to work by connecting the wires coming from the keyboard to the proper pin locations on a teensy mentioned in the 'Connection' section of the page below without any other components needed ?
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/converter/ibm4704_usb for example.. run the proper wires from the keyboard cable and connect them via soldering or breadboard to the 4 pins mentioned in the docs to a teensy 2.0 (vcc, gnd, pd0, pd1) without needing extra components such as resistors or anything?
I am already familiar with building and loading firmware onto a ATMega32U2 based board (bpiphany frosty flake), so that is well understood how it works.
If I do need other components to make this work, such as resistors or anything else, that's fine, more stuff to learn, but as for right now I'm just looking to get started with this first project and want to be sure I have everything I need.
Thanks!
