Kiibohd
« on: Sat, 04 March 2017, 23:47:48 »
Does anyone have experience with this firmware or know more about it? I have a teensy lc that I had long ago planned to use for a keyboard. I don't really think I'm up to the task of writing my own code for the project, and kiibohd seems promising. My particular board isn't listed but I had hoped it might still work? If not I can just go ahead and buy a 2.0

Kiibohd is HaaTa's baby so I'm sure it's fairly solid. He'll probably answer any questions you have if you PM him. AFAIK QMK/TMK are for specific microcontrollers but I'm way out of my depth here so I can't really speak on that.

QMK/TMK has been moving towards working on ARM too now.

You'll probably have to write some code for whatever controller you use. But I don't think Kiibohd supports Teensy LC.

Yeah, Teensy LC doesn't really have enough RAM to work with Kiibohd. It might be possible to make work, but it's a lot of effort for an experienced embedded C programmer.

I take requests for making keyboard converters (i.e. *old keyboard* to USB).

Which I am not, so perhaps I best steer clear of the attempt :) Teensy 2.0 it is, for this keyboard anyway.
