LisaKeys USB -> Lisa Keyboard Adapter

(1/2) > >>

Recently came across the LisaKeys project on GitHub via FB post:

https://github.com/RebeccaRGB/lisakeys

It's an Arduino-based USB <-> Lisa keyboard adapter. It can go both ways: USB keyboard -> Lisa or Lisa keyboard -> Mac/PC. Also appears to have some additional features. I built one yesterday and am happy to report it is working well w/ limited testing so far using an Apple USB and generic USB keyboard.

Has anyone else here built one?

Woohoo!

Lisa2:
I am building one of these adapters now.  Are you powering the audrino/host shield using the 5V from the lisa keyboard jack?

Yes, I am using the 5V from the tip of the keyboard jack. In my 2/10, that seems sufficient. In my 2/5 it works, too, but I get some odd floppy drive errors, where "drive format" dialogs constantly pop up. It could be a voltage issue. I have not revisited this, and using USB may solve that problem.

Lisa2:
Thanks James!
When I get mine going I will do some testing to see how much current the setup is using.  I it nice to know that you have already done the smoke test....
