# Poor man's "Keyrah" to connect C64 keyboard to USB
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
- Solder all keyboard connector pins to Arduino Pro Micro.
|
|
- You can solder Restore key (connector pin "I") paraller to some other pin. I soldered "I" and "G" to Arduino pin A8. (this is actually not needed, because there is one free pin left)
|
|
- You can also connect LED of C64 to VCC/GND of Arduino. I used 220ohm resistor.
|
|
|
|
## Firmware/flashing
|
|
- Download Soarer controller firmware: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50437.0
|
|
- Install Arduino IDE
|
|
- Connect RST to GND couple of times to get Arduino Pro Micro to programming mode (notice that com-port is different in programming mode in Windows)
|
|
- Flash firmware
|
|
```
|
|
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude" -C"C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf" -v -p m32u4 -c avr109 -P COM5 -b 57600 -U flash:w:firmware\Soarer_Controller_v1.20_beta4_atmega32u4.hex:i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
- Download configfile. Check pin order to match your setup.
|
|
- Compile and upload config file to Arduino Pro Micro
|
|
```
|
|
.\scas C64_matrix.sc C64_matrix.bin
|
|
.\scwr C64_matrix.bin
|
|
```
|
|
