Need help with keyboard rewiring
« on: Tue, 29 March 2016, 11:18:41 »
Hello, I have a Filco Minila Air and I want to remap the Fn keys, unfortunately they do not send scancode so I could not remap them through software. I have done some researches and found this japanese article:part1(http://hieroglyphe.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-64.html), part2(http://hieroglyphe.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-65.html).

After reading the article I decided to do something similar, I wanted to remap Fn keys to [無変換] and [KANA] (same as part 1), and remap App key to the origin Fn key. Since the article is written in Japanese so I don't quite understand the article. I have my questions listed below and I really appreciate if someone can clear them up for me:

1. Why in part 1 he rewired one of the yellow wire all the way to the left R5?

2. why in part 2 he needs to take off one resistor in pink circle and add two resistors in red circles?

3. Can I remap my fn keys just like what he did in part 1 and remap my App key by connect App key's switch to the origin Fn pcb holes(similar to what he did in picture below where the white/black wires remap the alt to Fn)? Do I also need to change resistors?


Any help is greatly appreciated!
