Hi @jmacz I received and installed a TW2340 accelerator (a cousin of your 1340, but designed for the Macintosh Classic). I have tried multiple system software versions and I have tried both the Warp 030 v1.5 control panel (which I'm assuming is what you've referred to as the Transwarp 030...

That's awesome! Thanks for continuing to develop this - my Hootswitch works great and makes switching between my vintage Macs seamless!

Geez! Give the guy a break here. Nothing he said was offensive.

Maycintosh would have been way better!!

Sorry, I meant diagonally! Long day!

I just tried mine and didn't notice anything weird. I moved the mouse vertically and it was quite smooth. That was with an Apple made in Malaysia mouse. @mfinn it might be worth trying to upgrade to the newest firmware. I had flashed your unit with a hybrid firmware that was slightly older...

Awesome! I am looking forward to giving this a try!

I am using Windows to connect the Hootswitch to monitor what's happening with a terminal. With the new firmware Windows complains that there is a problem with the USB device, the RP2040 doesn't properly show up in device manager and no comm port becomes available. So I'm using a bit of a...

I had a somewhat similar issue in a classic as well. I can't recall all the specifics but I do remember that probing the crystal it with my oscilloscope probe caused the clock to start running. It seems that these circuits are very sensitive to impedance (or maybe capacitance - I can't recall...

Sorry for the multiple posts here - The intermittent problem with the Classic keyboard was my fault. I put a DBG statement in at what must have been a timing sensitive point. I removed that and now it seems to work fine. Out of curiosity, my understanding is that keyboards always present...

I tried my Macintosh Classic keyboard and it did not work. I also realized that the latest firmware (uploaded here and on GitHub) doesn't seem to allow for USB debugging - when I plug the Hootswitch with the new firmware in, my computer can't setup a USB com port. * I used the 2024b hardware...

As a further follow-up, 12V power is working by jumpering the DC in (-) to the negative pin of the C1. I first tried jumpering it to the negative pin of J8 but for some reason that didn't work, although I think it should have so I may have done something dumb (i.e. was my wall wart plugged in?)...

Thanks @saybur! That updated firmware did the trick for the IIgs keyboard. I have now successfully tested my Hootswitch with my SE-style keyboard, my IIgs-style keyboard and an AEKBII. I have also tested it on my IIgs without any issue. It did not work with my Kensington TurboMouse 4.0...

You just need to click watch on YouTube

@saybur So it works fine with my AEK II, but not with my Apple Standard Keyboard (i.e. the keyboard that shipped with the Mac SE) or my Apple ADB Keyboard (the keyboard that shipped with the IIgs). It also seems to NOT allow the mouse to work when either of the two non-working keyboards are...

Reading a blog post on BMOW it does seem the flipping back and forth of the address ID is normal. So it seems after that happens the Hootswitch just stops doing anything on the bus. Not sure why yet. May need the debugger.

As an aside, I create a 3d printed case for the Hootswitch for once I get it working. Very pleased with how it turned out - the LEDs line up perfectly and look quite good. While you can see some printing imperfections in the photos, you don't really see them in person. Will share the STL...

I updated my ancient version of KiCad so I could load the schematics and it does seem like everything is connected as it should be. With the schematics I was able to verify the operation of J10 so had jumpered that and verified I had 5V at the ADB ports. The Hootswitch starts up and I can...

I haven't had any success as of yet. I'm not exactly sure of theory of operation here but it seems the soldering is fine as I seem to have good connectivity from all of the ADB pins (except Power On, I can't see where that's going) and then it seems like I have connectivity from the digital...

I assemlneed my first 2024b board and built and loaded the current firmware (I used the firmware from the main branch - not sure in hindsight if it's the same firmware as the b branch or not so will need to check that out) The device powers up and switches when the button is pressed (I get the...
