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

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
