Re: Command line flag and/or config file to set default channel?

I assume the reason for putting something in an old adaptor box is to avoid the cable tethering it to your computer. IMO, a more flexible approach to put in the box would be an RS422 to ethernet bridge. I'm using this one with my NABU and it works well. Then you can basically run any IA (that suppor...

Keyboard port is actually 12V?

I noticed the MJP technical manual says there's 9V on pin 3 of the keyboard connector, but I measure 12V there. I'm assuming that it's just a mistake in the document, but on the off chance that my NABU is weird or I'm making an error in measurement, I'm curious whether anyone else has checked this v...

Re: Hardware keyboard converter

For anybody following along, I've put my modified keyboard converter firmware at https://github.com/masto/usbhostcopro/tree/nabu. Specifically, the https://github.com/masto/usbhostcopro/blob/nabu/firmware/NABU.ino.trinket_m0.uf2 is ready to drag-and-drop onto a Trinket M0. It just does basic ASCII, ...

Re: Hardware keyboard converter

When you don't have a 6-pin DIN connector lying around, you use what you can find... I did put ferrules on the wires for a better fit.

A very true fact. I haven't tried yet, but I suspect this version will be unusable because I don't handle those file commands at all. Something I can look at fixing tonight.

The point is you don't need to do either of those things. Just loosen the 3 screws, re-center the motor & tighten them down again.
