HP 46010A converter and firmware
Posted: 23 Sep 2018, 18:41
so it took me a bit of time after getting one of these boards to get it converted and working, but
here is the link to my GitHub with a branch of QMK as the base of the firmware. so if you have one of these boards you no longer have to desolder all of the chips on the board to be able to use it with a modern pc.
long story short, there is not an actual controller in the keyboard just some 4000 series logic which can operate at both 5 and 12 volts (i obviously rely on that) this machine works very much like the IBM bigfoot (I personally prefer calling those surfboards, so as to prevent confusion with the OTHER bigfoot).
so far Ive not found any actual bugs in the code, but then again i just finished this converter a night ago.
the instructions for building as well as the instructions for compilation are all in the link.

testing right now, actually using it to write this post
edit: woops! killed the old link without thinking, this code got merged into QMK proper now! WOOT!
