Soarer PS/2 to USB keyboard converter

https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/xt-at-ps2-terminal-to-usb-converter-with-nkro-t2510.html

Keyboard protocols supported:

  • XT (scan code set 1)
  • AT (scan code set 2)
  • PS/2 (MF2) (extended scan code set 2)
  • Terminal e.g. 3179/318x/319x (scan code set 3)

Configurable Features:

  • Remapping
  • Layers
  • Macros
  • On-the-fly Config Selection

Other Features:

  • Full NKRO, if the keyboard supports it (even on Macs!)
  • Boot mode support (even with faulty BIOS!)
  • Auto-detection of the keyboard type
  • XT and AT boards are remapped correctly for PrtSc etc.
  • 1000Hz polling using Full Speed USB
  • Suspend and resume support
  • Media and Power key support
  • Jump to bootloader function (update firmware without pressing the reset button) (v1.0+)

Hardware

You need

  • ATMega32U4 Microcontroller/Arduino. E.g. Arduino Pro Micro
  • PS/2 female connector

PS/2 -> Arduino

  • Data (green or blue) -> PD0 (Pro Micro: 3)
  • CLK (white or purple) -> PD1 (Pro Micro: 2)
  • 5V (red) -> 5V
  • GND (black) -> GND

Flasher

https://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/

Flashing

avrdude -p m32u4 -b 57600 -P com5 -c avr109 -U flash:w:Soarer_at2usb_v1.12_atmega32u4.hex

If you have Windows 10 and installed Arduino IDE you can flash directly from PowerShell:

& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe" -C "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf" -p m32u4 -b 57600 -P com5 -c avr109 -U flash:w:Soarer_at2usb_v1.12_atmega32u4.hex

Bootloader mode: RST to GND two times. You have couple of seconds to start flashing. Serial port can be different than in normal mode.
