Connector Cable
---------------
Two PCBs are connected by 15 lines(13 in case of Pro2).
Vcc and GND use 3(2) lines each, other 9 lines are for keyboard signaling.

NOTE: guessing pin5(KEY_PREV) may work for hysteresis of capacitive sensing.

NOTE: 1KOhm didn't work as pullup resistor on KEY. AVR internal pullup or 10KOhm resistor was OK.

While pressing space bar, watched HHKB original controller signals by logic analyzer.
Row and column is looping between 0-7 each for selecting a key.
A key is scaned every about 15ms, so scan rate is 66Hz.

Space bar locate at ROW:3 COL:7. A key is selected by HC4051(C,B,A) and LS145(C,B,A).
2010-10-10 13:12:54 +00:00
Key state can be read on TP1684(4/KEY) while asserting low on LS145(D).
2010-11-05 16:58:47 +00:00
Usage of TP1684(5) is not clear. Controller seemed to output previous key state on this line.
However key state can be read without using this signal.
