Excellent work @arkadiusz.makarenko.arkadiusz.makarenko wrote: 30 Oct 2023 10:36 @NYYRIKKI
This is my test keyboard. It is cut version, and my goal is to squeeze in all keys on it, as it is what I am planning to use with my TFMSX.

As you can see it doesn't have LEDs,so I completely forgot about them.
Ps.
I will have a look at numpad issue and your mapping suggestions later today.
Code: Select all
sudo nmtui Code: Select all
ssh pi@TFMSX.local 'cat > /tmp/FK.jed && sudo xc3sprog -c sysfsgpio_creator -v -p0 /tmp/FK.jed && rm -f /tmp/FK.jed' < {firmware name}.jed
enter passsword TFMSXNot good, but things changed... This seems to be a lot more difficult problem than I originally thought, but now ie. Numpad works fine!arkadiusz.makarenko wrote: 30 Oct 2023 17:43 @NYYRIKKI
I have built new firmware you can downloand it here

I have just precisely adapted your mapping, I just changed one name and inverted 0xE8 value.NYYRIKKI wrote: 02 Nov 2023 10:11Not good, but things changed...

- Now you did not only remove "," from key next to "Z" but also "\" that is now completely missing.
- I think you tried to move "_" from next to "1" to RCTRL (that is good), but for some reason it is not working.
- Pressing F11 or F12 crashes the keyboard driver completely so that no key works after pressing one of these keys (maybe your code has undefined constant KB_ROW_11 or then it is problematic that MSX does not try to read these keys at all)
- GRAPH and CODE are now in correct keys, but still wrong way around and need to be swapped with each other

Code: Select all
{KEY_LEFTALT, KB_ROW_6, KB_BIT_4},
{KEY_RIGHTALT, KB_ROW_6, KB_BIT_2},
{KEY_LEFTCONTROL, KB_ROW_6, KB_BIT_1},
{KEY_LEFTSHIFT, KB_ROW_6, KB_BIT_0},
{KEY_RIGHTSHIFT, KB_ROW_6, KB_BIT_0},
Good, then I know, who I can blame... and then correct my self. :)arkadiusz.makarenko wrote: 02 Nov 2023 10:52 I have just precisely adapted your mapping, I just changed one name and inverted 0xE8 value.
So, in your config it was already right... There was just this extra numpad-key defined as well, please copy this "\" back from your version.- Now you did not only remove "," from key next to "Z" but also "\" that is now completely missing.
I had to change as well control buttons, as they are read from keyboard a little bit differently, so those values are rally placeholders for documentation rather than functional one.
Ok... So if the KEY_RIGHTCONTROL can not be used separately, then I think we have to just accept the key is mapped to very different end of the keyboard as you had it in your setup (and make KEY_RIGHTCONTROL just CTRL-key as it originally was). I know that your keyboard does not have "2nd win-key" (=KEY_MENU ?), but maybe it could be mapped as alternative button for "_"-key?- I think you tried to move "_" from next to "1" to RCTRL (that is good), but for some reason it is not working.
If this gives problems then just throw those definitions away, I don't think anyone will miss those keys. I just added them as I thought they could be implemented "free of charge" :)- Pressing F11 or F12 crashes the keyboard driver completely so that no key works after pressing one of these keys (maybe your code has undefined constant KB_ROW_11 or then it is problematic that MSX does not try to read these keys at all)
Yes, verified... I fucked up here.- GRAPH and CODE are now in correct keys, but still wrong way around and need to be swapped with each other
Nothing useful comes to mind... I've newer really had a need for such before now. :)Is there a keyboard testing software I could use?
Code: Select all
10 CLS
20 LOCATE 0,0
30 FOR I=0 TO 10
40 PRINTI,RIGHT$("0000000"+BIN$(PEEK(&HFBE5+I)),8)
50 NEXT I
60 GOTO 20

Not even close... It is less than 10 000 combination, trust your self! :Parkadiusz.makarenko wrote: 03 Nov 2023 18:59 This is very helpful, as so far I was working blindfolded on both USB and MSX side.
It is over 90 keys to guess right, this would have been more than hitting jackpot in lottery.
I must say, I feel the same. Talking about keyboard failure on keyboard is not easy. However I also feel that we are not far from solution. if you do successful test on your keyboard, I'm pretty sure it will work fine on my keyboard as well.If we were in one room working on this, we would have gotten it right in like 20 minutes.
