Throwing a teensy inside a dell quietkey
« on: Mon, 13 June 2016, 22:20:00 »
I'm thinking about doing this, mainly to give me a function layer but never done anything like this before. Would I simply wire up the connectors where the membrane matrix meets the board to the teensy?

Easier: make a PS/2 to USB converter with that Teensy / other suitable dev board.

You need to solder the PS/2 connectors according to your fimware's instructions. You could do this internally and install the board permanently inside, or use a PS/2 connector and have a removeable adapter that'll work on all of your PS/2 boards.

Check out Soarer's and TMK as good starting points.

N.B. I haven't done this specific project myself yet.

I suppose that's an idea - thanks! there's some space inside but not sure whether there'll be enough! Teensy's are so expensive in the UK though sadface

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
