Not sure about board assembly, but for blank PCBs it's a minimum of 5.peters wrote: 26 Jun 2025 11:30 Any PcbWay experts around ?
https://www.pcbway.com/project/sharepro ... fb5d5.html
I selected PCB+assembly and click Add to cart.
It offers a lot of PCB options which I've not changed apart from adding a quantity of 1.
I click Calculate and it shows the price. I think this is for one assembled and 4 or 5 blank pcbs.
Is that it ? Have I missed anything ?

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: USB keyboard adapter
Decided to go with HIDman-mini as a like the compact design.
5 PCBs ordered from pcbway. I'll do the assembly here and post results.

Re: USB keyboard adapter
I was planning to 3D print the end plates and I was hoping to find a step file for the case (one is mentioned).
I will hit the order button and see what happens.
Thanks.

Re: USB keyboard adapter
My Hidman arrived.
Plugged it in... Nothing. No led, no keyboard, no mouse.
This is my sort of luck with electronics.

Stupid question, I know but I guess you have programmed the firmware on it? Can I see a pic of the pcb?peters wrote: 23 Jul 2025 12:31 My Hidman arrived.

Re: USB keyboard adapter
I've just been looking at that. The docs don't mention it apart from upgrading.
Step 1 should be install firmware...
I assumed there would be at least an led to show it was powered from the PS2. Maybe not.
I've spent a couple of hours trying to get the various tools installed in Ubuntu but now I need a usb A to usb A cable .

Re: USB keyboard adapter
The usb A-A cable arrived and I it didn't take long to successfully flash the firmware.
Plugged into the Ubuntu box and it works.
Plugged it into the ps/2 KVM and it works on the Ubuntu box and on the Milan.
At last, no more keyboard and mouse restrictions on the Milan.
Happy.

Re: USB keyboard adapter
The only thing not working is the wheel mouse and it looks like a firmware issue, it doesn't work on Lubuntu either. I've reported it on GitHub.
I've printed a nice box for it all ready.
