Hello ebbandflow, hi all!
Can't thank you enough. It works! I previously tried the approach with the ps2x2pico by the user "NoOne" but it didn't worked because I thought I don't need the pullup from GP13 and left those out - mistake! With your suggestion of two 4k7 to CLK & DATA it works perfectly.
But I have a question to all:
Why the heck does it work with my GERMAN keyboard layout ???? I am not complaining at all, I am suprised and thankful that it works, but I have no clue why it works! Maybe anybody can explain this to me?
I am using the PicoMiteVGA (ps/2 version) with this USB to PS/2 converter by NoOne (ps2x2pico firmware). This firmware - as far as I know doesn't have german layout like his other version ("hid2cdc" firmware) in which you can:
"GPIO6 jumper to GND for QWERTZ keyboard support"
so the question for me is: why does ALL of my german keyboard layout work with this firmware? Is there some "autodetection via usb"? Of course my keyboard layout for MMBASIC is set to german, but how does the "ps2x2pico" firmware know that I am using a german USB keyboard? Just want to udnerstand what is going on.
So GREAT NEWS for all German users here which find the USB version too slow. Just use the PS/2 firmware und use this converter! I tried 5 different german keyboards, all work perfectly.
Ha! Now my Geiger-Counter has both: USB AND PS/2
Greetings
