windows 10 terminal converter

[dehghanGit]

terminal usb converter does not work in windows 10.

[tmk]

The converter works on other OSes?

I have no other OS. But the Soarer converter works well in my Windows 10. the same issue: https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/485

Then, toolchain version causes perhaps. Some Mac users have reported, iirc. What version compiler did you use? You may want to try older or newer version. I still use gcc 5.4.0, btw.

[avr-gcc (GCC) 5.4.0] and [avr-gcc (GCC) 4.9.2] and [avr-gcc.exe (WinAVR 20100110) 4.3.3] Same result :/

Hmm, Can you supply detail of your keyboard like model number? The terminal conveter supports only 'Code Set 3' while Soarer's supports CodeSet 1, 2 and 3. If your keyobard is not terminal keyboard(CodeSet3) it doesn't work with terminal converter.

And, does your converter have pull-up resistors? Without them the converter may miss singnal, TMK firmware can read data lines at different timing than Soarer's.

Also debug prints on hid_listen would be helpful.

IBM model m, terminal RJ45 Model number: 1395764

No I didn't use any resistor. I connected the board directly to the keyboard. Please tell me resistors value and how to connect or give me any article link to test again.

[tmk]

OK. That keyobard should speak terminal scan code set 3.

I'd recommend 1Kohm for pull-up resistors. But try hid_listen to get debug prints before soldering the resistors. I think TMK also can read signal correctly without the resistors when Soarer's can. I'll tune my code if needed.

Comparing debug prints on hid_listen from TMK firmware and Soerer's would be very helpful. https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/hid_listen.html

It will continue until plug out the microchip.

noting?

Hmm, TMK seems to fail to reset the keyboard at startup for some reason. I have no idea. Can you share your firmware file? I'd like to try it on my site.

Also try this new another TMK converter implementation. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103648.0
