necro, but did you succeed in the end? seems like a great boards, waiting for updates and good luck! Another necro; did anyone of you succeed? I recently got a T1500 and soarer's converter on its bare bones pretty much does nothing :( edit: I'll investigate myself, I have some ideas 😁 From pics the...

to use this feature i would need to use the tmk "magic" key combo, which in this case would be both shift, both alt or both meta keys + a single extra key. it seems the matrix isnt able to do that. my question here is, is there any way to remap "magic" key combos, or even to map a key to a single h...

Came here to share this simple script that converts Soarer's output format into VCD(value change dump). VCD file can be read by PulseView. - https://sigrok.org/wiki/PulseView - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_change_dump - https://sigrok.org/wiki/File_format:Vcd Screenshot_2022-01-01_21-59-13.pn...

Thank you for your test. The debug log looks ok now. I updated firmware. No big change for Z-150 AT, though. You can download new firmware on Keymap Editor now. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103648.msg3090743#msg3090743 Let me know if you have any problem with new firmware. Alps or any switch...

No swith option for hid_listen command.
I think you can copy text in the Commnad Prompt.

It seems that the keyboard doesn't accept ID command(0xF2). Can you try this firmware then with pressing CapsLock key 10-20 times quickly? https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tmk/a6df901cb7f7ac9bd6a730b2fafcd0f5/raw/b9e9516d496c9746c637a647d9758a53acf01bfa/ibmpc_usb_debug.hex Pasting debug log in tex...

Updated the firmware files. End line charactor of the last line seemed to be wrong. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tmk/a6df901cb7f7ac9bd6a730b2fafcd0f5/raw/fe259cb7215496cd957e7a2ff417e876d29f598a/ibmpc_usb_debug.hex Output of hid_listen would be always helpful for debug even if the converter go...

Thank you for the test. The converter seems to have problem occasionally when the converter sends command to the keyboard. 'R R R R ...' means error and retry of command. I changed timings of signal handling. Can you try this firmware with pressing CapsLock and NumLock key? https://gist.githubuserco...

Glad to hear my firmware works for your keyboard. Z-150 AT is still required improvemnt in TMK firmware and your help would be appreciated. Can you try hid_listen to share its debug prints here? https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki#hid_listen I like to see what hid_listen shows when procedure be...

You can't run a MACRO repeatedly in current implementation at least.

This will be what you can do for similar behaviour.

For someone with Zenith Z-150 AT,
Updated IBMPC converter firmware for better support(LEDs).

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=10 ... msg3055384

Try and give feedback.

I checked source code and confirmed that these key codes(0xB0-DD) including KP_00 and KP_000 are not supported at this time. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/tmk_core/common/keycode.h#L357-L402 You can't send the KP_00 with current firmware in the end. I may change this in future rele...

what is OS you are using? Did you try other OS if you have any? And firstly you want to check if the OS supports the 'KP_00' key(USB HID usage 0xB0, or 176 in decimal). And debug log on 'hid_listen' would be helpful in most cases. Press both shifts and K to see keyboard report the converter sends to...

I had annoying click noise similar to yours on my orange swithces, I think at least. Also found "paper mods" and its idea totally made sense to me but I didn't give this try in fact because I didn't like to use paper in my Alps for some reason. Instead I used this bending method and worked for me. I...

Thanks for reply.
Is that all you got in hid_listen?
Debug output during the keyobard "works fine" and when "you turn on lock lights" would be helpful.

Can you post debug outputs long as possible here or somewhere like pastebin.com?

Thanks for your patience. And take care of your shoulder. Firmware you tried(TMK:f8ce50eb/LUFA) is old version from Feb 9 for some reason, not the latest one. Could you try download firmware file from here and test again? https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/ibmpc_z150at_fix4/converter/ibmpc_usb...

Good to know that lock lights works now. These two issues are still left at this point. 1) Lock lights are not updated at startup. They won't correspond with lock status of computer after startup. 2) The keyboard doesn't response to 'Read keyboard ID' command(wF2) for some reason. I updated firmware...

Great!

Can you confirm that LED indicators works when pressing Lock keys?
Also 'F7' key works? (Monoprice converter fails at F7 for no reason.)

I still like to check debug output to know that it works as expected.
Posting debug log with pressing those keys would be appreciated.

I found a bug and updated firmware again.

https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tre ... usb/binary

Could you test this when you have time?

Thanks for your patience. That firmware version(b4a30776) seems to have regression on keyboard protocol recognition. (The keyboard is recognized as a XT keyboard instead of AT.) Power-on test result(rAA) from the keyboard is received but 'Read keyboard ID' command(wF2) fails and the keyboard doesn't...

Updated firmware with fix for Z-150.

https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tre ... usb/binary

Feedback and hid_listen debug log is still required to improve its support.

Thanks

Lekrafter, Thanks for the test. In the first video: 'ERR:17'(and 'ERR:20') still occurs but it can be recovered with the latest firmware. The converter works with the keyboard probably. In second one(Repluging at USB connector case): No error found. The converter should work as well. The converter s...

Thanks for your patience, Lekrafter. I want to add support for Zenith Z-150 AT to my converter but it requires many trial-and-error process. Hmm, the log shows new errors 'ERR:11' and 'ERR:F0' this time, which seems to be caused by You can get 'ERR:11' again with another test? To reproduce consisten...

Yes, that is exactly what I asked.
It seems that the keyboard fails to receive command from converter.

Updated firmware for debug. Try this and show debug outputs when you have time.

Just did but it unfortunately doesn't seem to work, but at least now the beeper always works

Can you post debug outputs on hid_listen?
Check 'Debug' section on the first post of my thread.

You can try my firmware, it is compatibile to Soarer's converter.
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103648.0

I have improved the firmware to add support for Z-150 AT, it should work except for CapsLock, NumLock and ScrollLock.

Are you sure that the keyboard worked correctly before you restored? And how do you connect it onto computer? directly to PS/2 port on motherboard, via PS/2-USB converter or ... I won't be surprised at all if the keyboard works weirdly regardless of your restoration. I have seen that people reported...

This problem is still there on Linux 5.4.0(Ubuntu 20.04.1). I didn't read HID spec thoroughly but I'd say Cherry controller is faulty rather than Linux HID stack. From natural interpretation of Appendix C of HID spec, keyboard should send 'valid' modifers in the first byte(modifer bitmap) of its rep...

Interesting is, that the beeper goes off for every key, except L- & R-Shift, Ctrl, and Alt. Any idea what the reason for that could be? 'Alt+Esc' is still available to toggle the beeper even under this situation? I don't have idea on this and the keyobard to test unfortunately. The converter can't ...

I think both issue is normal for the keyboard, not your or hardware fault. IBM XT keyboard doesn't has any LED indicator and XT keyboard protocol doesn't support it. Some clones have indicators and which are controlled just internally by keyboard itself but they are not controlled from host or conve...
