Title: JD40 Newbie
Post by: ceed on Sun, 23 July 2017, 05:59:32

Hey guys,
I just bought a jd40 pbc from 1up.

I have basically no experience with custom keyboards.
But shouldn't connect to my mac by default?
I Just connected the blank pbc to my macbook and exactly nothing happened.

I also looked around for manuals, but it seemed like it should be plug and play by default.

Am i missing something here?

Thx in advance.

Okay, figured it out, i wanted to flash the board, but parralles always disconnected the keyboard from my mac on the reboot.
Annoying as **** ^^

Are you trying to flash it within Parallels or mac OS?

I used VMWare, mounts the pcb without a problem. You want to follow this guide (http://"https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=83626.0")
