Pikas62 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi CAT. Thanks for the update. It seems that things happens earlier than I hoped :). I have one question: How is the connection of your matrix board with the X-Keys implemented. Does we need a special cable or can the devices be plugged directly together? (sorry for my bad English). _________________ PC: Win 10 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 64GB RAM, GForce RTX 4090.

CAT_101st Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 The X-keys board has a 30 pin connector on it and my board has 3 8 pin connectores. So I will provide the 3 8 pin conectors to be mounted on a tape cable of your desine. I have a buddy working on a desin for a pre made cable but wont be out for this run of boards. mabe the next run if there is enough intrest in them. also I am providing both the mail and femail connectors for the matrix. All you need is the wire and crimps to attach the wires to the connectors for a plug and play. I sujest using CAT 5 cable. That will provide 4 switch lines or if wiring a dile one common and 7 switches. There are many ways to wire up your pit using this brakeout board. here is what the board will look like when put together.

Pikas62 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) The board looks very good - I like that connectors so I don't have to solder the pins. That will enable a much easier reconfiguration. Please forgive me my maybe stupid question: Your Matrix board has 3 8 Pin connectors for the connection to the x-keys board = 24 connectors altogether. The x-keys board has a 30 Pin connector. That means that 6 connectors of the x-keys are not connected to the Matrix board - is this irrelevant?
