Hacking a keyboard - have a few questions

<< < (2/2)

Chris:
Well, if you want to push forward, I'll bet the controller is on that little daughterboard and the two ribbon cables represents the two sides of the matrix.   Might be an easier way to attack the problem.  It'll still be several hours worth of work, and you may want to consider it "temporary" to get through the weekend... up to you if it's worth the effort.

I'm wondering now if I should commit the time to this or just order an encoder. I've already wasted lots of time trying to get a X-arcade solo to work.

Whats driving this is the fact we are having people over this weekend and I wanted to show it off. I think the best bet is to just miss this weekend and do it right.

I made my comments based on the fact that I understood the theory of the keyboard hack.

All the other comments are correct.

Order the KeyWiz Eco (better yet, the pin header one and a ribbon cable so you can forget soldering) and PM RandyT and see if he can FedEx it to you.  (for a little additional shipping, of course).  You will be much happier in the long run.

Right... ok, so I've decided to go with the ipac and talked to Divemaster who is going to ship out quickly (thank you thank you!).

I'm going to prep all the wiring, get the computer mounted, marquee mounted, and power supply.
