# Amiga 1200 Keyboard Converter
Modification of the Model-M 101 membrane adapter (converter/modelm101) to work with Amiga 1200 keyboard (and possibly Amiga 500/600 too). It would be very convenient to manufacture a small PCB adapter to make easier the task of connecting the keyboard membrane and the Teensy 2.0++ board.
This adapter is meant to allow using the original Amiga keyboard as a USB input device, either with a desktop PC or a R-Pi/FPGA board hosted inside the Amiga case.
Files have been modified in accordance to fit Amiga keyboard layout and features. A second layer has been implemented (momentary toggle "Help" key) to access unexistent keys (like F11 and F12). This is a work in progress.
Pins of the Teensy board you should use by default:
```
Columns: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Pins: D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 E0 E1 C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7
--------------------------------------------------------
Rows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Pins: F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7
--------------------------------------------------------
Status LEDs: CapsLock +5V
Pins: B6 5V
```
Please note that some versions of Model M have LED connected with a ribbon cable, and not with separate wires.

* Hardware Supported: Teensy 2.0++ board by PJRC
* Hardware Availability: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html
For first time flashing use the reset button on the Teensy board enter in bootloader mode. Once the board is flashed you can use "HELP"+"R" on the Amiga keyboard for the same purpose.
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make converter/a1200:default
