Teensy 2.0++-based custom Model M controller running TMK firmware ('modelm" by [lmorchard](https://blog.lmorchard.com/2016/02/21/modelm-controller/)); - had a few issues. +2. Teensy 2.0++-based custom Model M 122-key controller running QMK firmware ("ibm122m" by [lukexorz](https://github.com/lukexorz)); - had wrong layout for 101/102-key boards and no status LED support. + +For this conversion you will need: +1. Teensy 2.0++ dev board itself (can be used a different dev board, but it will require some changes in configuration); +2. Ribbon connectors to connect the membrane to a dev board. Depending on your Model M variation, you will need 1 Trio-mate 16pin connector (6-520315-6 or 6-520415-6) and 1 Trio-mate 8pin connector (5-120628-8 or 5-520314-8), or 2 Trio-mate 16pin connectors; +3. Full-sized breadboard (without power rails; half-size should do, but full-sized one looks more native) or a PCB to wire everything up; +4. A bunch of jumper wires; +5. mini-USB male cable with any USB socket you want to use to connect Teensy inside the keyboard to your PC (I use short mini-USB male to mini-USB female cable); +6. (optional) Resistors for connecting status LEDs if your LED PCB doesn't have any; +7. (optional) Double-sided tape to fix USB socket on or inside the keyboard case. + +Pins of the Teensy board you should use by default: +``` +Columns: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 +Pins: C7 C6 C5 C4 C3 C2 C1 C0 E1 E0 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 +-------------------------------------------------------- +Rows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 +Pins: F7 F6 F5 F4 F3 F2 F1 F0 +-------------------------------------------------------- +Status LEDs: CapsLock +5V ScrollLock NumLock +Pins: B6 5V B5 B4 +``` + +Please note that some versions of Model M have LED connected with a ribbon cable, and not with separate wires. + +Keyboard Maintainer: [iw0rm3r](https://github.com/iw0rm3r) +Hardware Supported: Teensy 2.0++ board by PJRC +Hardware Availability: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html + +Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment): + + make converter/modelm101:default:teensy + +See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
