# QMK-based firmware for Magnavox Videowriter keyboard
|
||
Matrix layout is based on info from this [article](https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/magnavox-videowriter-keyboard-cleanup-and-conversion-t19687.html).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Magnavox Videowriter keyboard conversion project: direct connection of Pro Micro to the matrix.
|
||
|
||
* Keyboard Maintainer: [DmNosachev](https://github.com/DmNosachev)
|
||
* Hardware Supported: Alps-based [Magnavox Videowriter keyboard](https://deskthority.net/wiki/Magnavox_VideoWriter), Pro Micro 16MHz 5V MCU board (you can use any MCU which is supported by QMK and has 18 or more IO).
|
||
|
||
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
||
|
||
make handwired/videowriter:default
|
||
|
||
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. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).

## Matrix
|
||
|
||
Videowriter has 8x10 matrix:

||

|
||
|---------|----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------|-----------|-----------|---------|

|
||
|
||
## Separating Shift keys
|
||
Initially left and right Shift keys are connected in parrallel. You need to cut the traces from right Shift (switch 62) and wire it to column 2 (switch 65, right pin) and row 9 (switch 71, bottom pin).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Stock components removal
|
||
SN74LS145N IC (BCD-to-decimal decoder, drives matrix rows), NEC D8049HC IC (MCU, drives matrix columns) and resistor array need to be desoldered from the PCB. You need to shorten the 4 diodes (D2–D5) in the bottom right corner of the PCB (solder a wire between their pins).
|
||
I've also removed two electrolytic capacitors and some ceramic capacitors just to free an additional space.
|
||
|
||
Optional: add diodes between each switch and corresponding row for NKRO. If you choose not to add them, create `config.h` file in your personal keymap folder and add `#define MATRIX_HAS_GHOST` to it.
|
||
|
||
## Pro Micro
|
||
Suggested mount position for the Pro Micro:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Solder two 8-pin headers to the Pro Micro (pin D1-B5 on the left side and pins F4-B6 on the right side).
|
||
2. Solder the Pro Micro to the Videowriter's PCB.
|
||
3. Solder 6 wire bridges (pink color on the photo).
|
||
4. By this point rows 0-4 and all columns will be already in place.
|
||
5. Connect rows 5-9 (see right side of the PCB) to the corresponding pins of the Pro Micro using additional wires.
|
||
6. Optional: connect a push button between Reset and Ground pins.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Compile and flash the firmware. Use matrix [debug mode](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_command) if something is wrong.
