Ps2avrU Flashing

[Signature]

So I encountered this problem, while doing a soldering job on the ps2avrU V0.2. The keyboard connects to the computer but every button is unusable.

I got this pcb from Zenuty a time ago, and unfortunately he is never online on skype anymore (rip). I tried searching around for answers and I came to the conclusion that the controller may be unflashed.  I saw a similar thread on GH a while back, but there wasn't really an answer on that one. So if you got any experience in this, I would love to hear your input!

i have a ps2avr, i initally thought that i could use the USB, but that was not the case, the keyboard only works when connected to the ps2. even though connnection is microusb. Have you tried ps2?

I have not, but it's supposed to fit in a LZ-GH  Thanks for the answer though!

Why would that make a difference? Or am i missing something?

Try a simple USB -> PS2 converter see if it works.

Well the port on the LZ-GH is optimized for a micro-usb and I'm doing this solder job for someone, so I don't know what he will think of that :/ Hopefully there is another way to do this, but I guess as a last resort I can try with ps2

you need ps2 on the part you connect to the computer, not at the connection from the LZ. Like on of these

Oh that makes sense I guess! Will pick one up at clas ohlson tomorrow, and try it! Thanks a lot!

You could also try holding the u key for usb, the p key for ps2, while plugging it in. If someone set it to ps2 it well do what you described. Holding both makes the keyboard autoselect. This is all for ps2avru.

I bought a ps2avr board a while back and the seller gave me a usb dongle that made it work perfectly without the need for connecting to the Ps2 port.

However, I believe it acted as a converter of sorts

Dafuq? im interested!
please show the setup you are using.

 Im missing a case for my ps2avr so i only did some inital testing.

I sold it though =[ I'll see if I can find a picture of it

Bump on this matter, I need to get it to work with usb only since the buyer doesn't have a ps2 input on his computer

[GL1TCH3D]

I'm pretty sure I have no picture of it.

All I know is that it was a tiny usb dongle that I put between the usb port and the cable (female to male usb dongle)

What about this?

Didn't work unfortunately, it seems like I can't install drivers on the pcb at all...

Can the buyer just get a ps2 to USB converter?

Idk, would look pretty weird tho.

As a note, the ps2avr's I've used don't work with my standard ps/2 to usb converters (Soarer's and ID Innovations dongle).  The little module that was sold with some ps2avr's are actually an active converter as well, I believe.
