# 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).
The adapter allows 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.
Available for two micros: AT90USB1286 (Teensy 2++ board), and ATmega32u4 (MiSS-1200 FPGA board).
A small PCB adapter is needed for connecting the keyboard membrane to the Teensy 2.0++ board. A very simple example of such a board is available here:
https://github.com/8bits4ever/A1200-Keyboard-Adapter
The MiSS-1200 FPGA board features a dedicated connector for the Amiga 1200 membrane keyboard.
Files have been modified in accordance to the 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
```
Pins assignment MiSS-1200 board (ATmega32u4):
```

For first time flashing use the reset button to enter in bootloader mode. Once the board is flashed you can use "HELP"+"R" on the Amiga keyboard for reflashing.
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make converter/a1200/teensy2pp:default
Or:
make converter/a1200/miss1200:default
