Well done guys. Makes me want to get a CD32terriblefire wrote: 09 May 2020 10:22 Been a crazy week but we've proved that this riser will pass through FMV video.
@arkadiusz.makarenko Sorry i've not been keeping up with your progress this week.
Yeah dont think the delays need to be perfect. anywhere between 1/2 a microsecond and 2 microseconds will do i recon. Its a clocked signal after all.arkadiusz.makarenko wrote: 10 May 2020 09:49 OK.
After some struggle with implementation of microsecond blocking delay I managed to get following.
I hope it is good enough for Amiga. At this point it is from USB to Amiga. If this will work as expected I will have a look at sending reports back to USB keyboard (led light controls).

EDIT: If you upload this to github i'll try and see if it works later
Thanks ... have you assembled up the riser for the CD32 yet or just testing on the bench?
It was on bench. Now I am trying to make it work on CD32, but it is not too successful. I managed to make it work at some point, but keys were very sticky. But most of the time it seems that stm32 is hanging or crashing.terriblefire wrote: 10 May 2020 10:36Thanks ... have you assembled up the riser for the CD32 yet or just testing on the bench?
For the CD32 its v important just to do the keyboard reset once even if you change keyboards... keyboard reset is system reset on CD32.arkadiusz.makarenko wrote: 10 May 2020 12:09 OK All back to normal. I just reprogrammed chip. I assume there are anti-tampering features which may be turn on by default? Don't know.
Anyway. Keyboard seems very sticky, but I know why it is. At this moment data is sent only when value on keyboard is changed, which should work fine for mouse and gamepads, but not for this keyboard implementation. So for example if you hold button it will be recorded only once. I will need to move some processing from main to different place.
And I have updated initial config, as it was holding Amiga in reset until you connected keyboard and pressed button. Now it should be ok.
Not too bad for first try.
