Title: What did i do wrong converting my Model M using soarers converter?
Post by: Rotaku on Mon, 02 March 2015, 00:13:26
Hey guys, a while back i bought a Lynk Model M 122 key keyboard, and i recently tried converting it using soarers converter, and i'm having a lot of issues. I'm pretty sure my soldering work is completely fine, but i don't know whats wrong.

Basically what happens is i press a key, the little led on the teensy lights up, and nothing happens. But when i hold down a key, about 10 seconds will pass by and all the sudden the key I've held down will activate, and the keyboard wont stop spamming the button i've just pressed. I don't know if i've soldered on to the wrong spots, i'm just confused at this point. Any help would be awesome! Thanks! Pics of problem

Same answer here as on Reddit ...

The Teensy's onboard LED is lit on the following error conditions:
First off all, run hid_listen to find out what exactly Soarer's Converter thinks he has got. Find out which keyboard it thinks is attached.

Oh, and based on your pictures it looks like you got Data on PD1 and Clock on PD0, which is the wrong way round.
