XT/AT/PS2/Terminal to USB Converter with NKRO

[hasu]

No probably. Keyboard converter doesn't/can't debounce in general.

Thanks hasu!

Does anyone know how I can adapt this to the Arduino Beetle board/Arduino Leonardo Tiny? The only pins I have available for clock and data are A0, A1, A2, D9, D10, D11.

Any advice is greatly appreciated 

Cheers

HELP REQUESTED
I'm trying to compile a empty.sc file that I moved into my Soarer_sctools_v1.10_macosx folder to test and then eventually remap keys using my own sc file.

when I run

$ ./scas empty.sc empty.scb

"zsh: bad CPU type in executable: ./scas"

Anybody know how to troubleshoot this?
(imac 2019 running macOS Big Sur)

The tools for Mac are 32-bit executable binary files and recent versions of MacOS(10.15-) doens't support 32-bit anymore.
You will have to compile binary files from srouce codes with Xcode yourself  or you can find them here.

Perfect. Thanks for the link the zip file listed near the top works great! Rip soarer's outdated code haha

What's the cleanest way (ie. case, parts) to make one of these adapters?

I'm looking for an atmega32u4 that would fit inside a USB male connector house but can't find anything.

I see that some people have found parts (ie. sudoboy, orihalcon, etc) but are selling their cables for $40 which seems a bit much.

Another question ... do I connect the PS/2 shield wire and GND pins together?

That sounds similar to what I did with my first custom Soarer's converter.  The issue I had with my first custom Soarer's converter was it did not reliably work with an IBM Model M keyboard or with an active USB to PS/2 converter in series with Soarer's converter.  So, my second Soarer's converter had the optional pull up resistors that Soarer mentions in his documentation where you put extra 1K Ohm resistors between Clock and +5V and between Data and +5V.  I used a Teensy++ 2.0 for extra macro memory on a perf board with traces made with wire glue between conductors on the perforations for the extra resistors.  Wire glue is a black, I think carbon-based, substance, so no soldering was required.
