My first wire wrap: Wilf's AT keyboard interface

Re: My first wire wrap: Wilf's AT keyboard interface
Is /RD (The first purple wire on the left) shorting to /WR (The first unattached pin on the left )?

Don't think D5-D7 should be grounded without a resistor...
Maybe need a momentary pushbutton for /CE on EPROM? Set DIPSWITCH. Press button.

I noticed that some chip pinouts do not show active high or low. I added this in case anybody wants since others pointed out.

Re: My first wire wrap: Wilf's AT keyboard interface
Creating a keyboard is a hard task. To be ready for ZX-Team meeting this weekend, I need a keyboard.
I've changed paths twice. First trying to rebuild an old Mac USB keyboard. This was a pain, as the matrix is plastic foil membrane. I tried with aluminum foil and electric paint. This was a steep hill.
The secord change of path was rebuilding an old Commodore 64 keyboard. It was difficult, as the matrix was completly different. And the board was also difficult to solder on. But finally it worked.
I need to clean the old keyboard before this weekend, but Yes! it works.

Creating Wilf's AT keyboard is still on my to do list. But currently I just needed a keyboard fast.
Re: My first wire wrap: Wilf's AT keyboard interface
cool ... maybe it is a good idea to shift the first two rows some positions to the left

Re: My first wire wrap: Wilf's AT keyboard interface
It was difficult because the Commodore has a different matrix than the ZX81. If I shifted the keys the task would have been twice as difficult. Then none of the existing matrix could have been used. This “easy” path made it possible to create the keyboard before this weekend’s meet up on a tight schedule. The positions of the keys are irritating, but better to type on than my previous keyboard.

Re: My first wire wrap: Wilf's AT keyboard interface
Yes, I know that. Some years ago I started my own keyboard project (with cherry switches) but due to the lack of time it is still in development
Joachim in the german forums has build a pretty cool one (with self designed pcb) - see here:

I think You can see it in Mahlerts next weekend.

It is a keyboard that prints in ITALICS!
Glad you got it working!
