Need help with external 1200 keyboard wiring
« on: February 27, 2005, 03:07:08 AM »
I am going nuts trying to get a keyboard working. I followed directions I found on Aminet and ended up with apostrophes flying across the screen, after some hunting I learned that this means the clock and data lines are reversed. I switched the lines and the flying punctuation stopped but there is no response from the keyboard. Keyboard works perfectly on a 3000, so what did I do wrong. HELP

thanks

Thanks for the schematic, this shows another error in the aminet files. On aminet I found files that said to use pin 42,43 on U7 and never mentioned lifting pins on U13, another that said use pins 43,44 on U7 nothing about U13, one that said 43,44 on U7 lift 12,13 on U13. The schematic shows 13,14 on U13 as the data and clock signals. At present I am using 43,44 on U7 with pins 13,14 lifted on U13 and get no response from keyboard, if I swap the data and clock lines at the keyboard din connector I get contiunuous apostrophes. I think tomorrow I am going to order an interface.    :-?
