That was the one I wanted to snipe...
Sadly, my Paypal account is not completely set up yet so I can't bid for it.

I think he's had it up for a while and no one is taking it. Im sure if you get your Paypal account set up soon enough you may still have a chance. He seems to sell a good few Model Fs (of both varieties) on a regular basis.

You're right, it came back as a BIN. Hopefully I can get the payment in order by the end of this week.

*Fingers crossed*

Sigh, someone scooped this up 2 hours ago, just now I got that Paypal account settled.

Did someone from this forum order it?

Damn you! :brick:

Please do me a favour though: when you make a converter, be so kind to post the schematics and source code. At least it would save me and others the work of updating the kbdbabel design to modern microcontrollers. :wink:

Well, at least someone who doesn't already own one got it to try it out.

well, I'm building one, but I'm gonna use the AT89C2051, so it'll be the schematics and so on that is already available. I've got the parts ordered, so they should show up by wednesday or so. But yeah, I'm planning on documenting it all.

Or, if that fails, I guess I'll just try and use an atmega. In theory, it _shouldn't_ be too hard to make one.
