Hi there.
I have a Dell Studio XPS 1640 keyboard I wish to convert to USB and was wondering if I could achieve it with the Teensy.
It's a strange project, yes, but I was wondering if it was feasible, and if not, is there an alternative to help me get there?
So the keyboard has what I'm assuming is a 30 pin FPC connector. I have an adapter on the way which breaks that out.

I planned to systematically probe the pins with a multimeter and find when the pins short and map the matrix (providing this would work...)
Past here I'm not really sure how I'd use the Teensy to achieve what I want... I essentially need the keyboard to work like a normal keyboard would at a hardware level, so it works in BIOS etc.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Ross
