Bought myself a model M terminal keyboard and obviously the path forward is to convert it over to USB.

Going from the guide in Geekhack on the bottom diagram I imagined that the RJ45 was plugged into a terminal.
Meaning from left to right I had
VCC- Black (went in VCC port)
Data - Red (PD0)
Clock - Yellow (PD1)
Ground - White (Went into Grnd)
PE - Black (I ignored this completely because it didnt seem connected to anything)

Rather than plug the Rj45 into the teensy through an adapter I wired the teensy straight into board through the adapter.
I programmed the teensy uploading the soarer converter 1.20 beta 4 (Soarer_Controller_v1.20_beta4_atmega32u4.hex).

Plugged it all together and nothing happend.

Am I missing something here? Please dont tell me I wired it up the wrong way round.

Should also mention HID Listen had nothing show up. Detected the device but button presses did nothing.

Very wierd,
Switched to the 1.12 firmware and it works perfectly now.

At first, I was shocked "What? v1.2?" but then I realized that you must have started out with the "controller" software for the WYSE terminals or whatever it was instead of the "classic" Soarer's Converter.

Yup

I think my initial panic was whether I mixed up the VCC and ground. Or my other worry was that the keyboard was a dud. Appearance wise it was in superb condition and I scored it for $40US delivered so was wondering if my luck ran out.
