Real Amiga 2000 Keyboard on MiSTer

[kathleen]

Dear all,

For those who like me have a real Amiga 2000 keyboard and want to use it on the Mister with the Amiga core, there is a cheap solution which works quite well, it is an interface with an Arduino Pro Micro. For a few $ (or € ) the below interface is really easy to do.
From my side I ordered the Arduino and the Din5 plug on Aliexpress and the PCB on PCBway.

After that my friend has built everything and uploaded the code, I've tested it on PC first with Winuae and it worked I then connected the interface on the Mister and it worked also like a charm, which was for me a very good news. The mapping still needs to be finetuned however.

Not only the A2000 keyboard works, also the A500, A1000, A3000 & A4000.

So I wanted to share my experience with this amazing cheap interface.

Not only the A2000 keyboard works, also the A500, A1000, A3000 & A4000.

I suspect it is that the A500/1000/2000/3000/4000 keyboards do work on the mister.
But it could also mean that the A2000 keyboard works on the A500/1000/3000/4000 computers.

Now we just need support for the C128D keyboard

That is really cool, I still have my Amiga 4000. The keyboard has a smaller plug than the A2000 (which was my first Amiga) keyboard plug though.
