where are these 20 other people, did they get their firmware flashed; how?
I know a handful are watching this thread, waiting for a dumbed down guide
He preflashed all the chips before he sells them.
I'm not sure what the problem is....
I have a few of these PCBs from zenuty. As far as I know, the loose atmega chips are completely blank with nothing on them. If they're supposedly flashed, what is on there? Just a bootloader, or the final working firmware? The board is soldered already, and computer does not detect controller once plugged in.
Most of those who bought PS2AVR PCBs would have had no problem with the PCB.
Just soldering the parts and connecting to PS/2 port is all that needed. The chip is already preflashed with firmware.
Did you connect the PCB to PS/2 port?
PS2AVR was designed to work with PS/2 connection.
(Of course, it works with USB with PS2AVR-EXT module and the latest firmware.)
Some of the PC M/Bs with a PS/2 combo port have compatibility issue with PS2AVR, 356 and 456 kbds.
In fact, my MSI B75-ITX M/B also has that problem.
(I myself didn't know it before making purchase. I will never buy a M/B with a PS/2 combo port again.)
So I connect my PS2AVR kbd through a PS2 hub in genovation 682.
PS2AVR - PS2 Hub - PS/2 Port of my PC
I haven't seen any PS2AVR PCBs with a blank MCU so far...
(I've soldered at least 30 PS2AVR PCBs...)
And never heard that in KBDmania, either.
**Important**
PS/2 itself does NOT support Plug and Play.
You should connect the KBD before you turn on the computer.
(Of course, if you have a PS/2 Hub, that supports Plug and Play.)
If you are to buy Korean custom PCBs and not fully experienced, plz ask the seller soldering and firmware upgrading.
Even in case the seller cannot do it, he can easily find skillful experts in Korea.
In Korean KBD market, who soldered/assembled the PCB/KBD is a very important factor when deciding a purchase.
