| How to connect to a very, very challanging BlackBerry Q10 keyboard connector? |

I've gotten a few questions on this and I am going to post some information here so everyone can see it. Also, I don't see how to do attachments on the PMs. --- Quote ---- is the connector you mentioned really the correct one? because the q10 keyboard connector looks on photos like a 28pin connector and your adapter pcb is also 28pin but you linked a 24 pin connector in your post - do you have any documentation about the pinout? --- End quote --- The connector is correct. They call it a 24 pin connector but it has 28 conductors. I guess the outer 4 are guard connectors and are not recommended as signals? It's odd. But here is the actual part I ordered and the actual part number and go ahead and count the pins. It works. View the image and count the pins and you will see. I will also attach my .INO file as TXT, it gives the map of keys. The keyboard is a simple matrix. Once you have the keyboard attached to a breakout adapter, finding the key map is very easy with a continuity tester, you will have zero problems determining that even if you didn't have my map. I have attached my DipTrace files and Gerbers for the adapter. Everything was done by an amateur is is not guaranteed to work. But it all worked for me just fine. |

My first test was actually going through all the keys one by one. But that was boring, so the second test was typing out something "normal" on it and I just chose that text because I like the book. --- End quote --- You could use "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" next time. it contains all the letters of the English alphabet |

Hi everyone, new guy here. I'm making a similar project but mine will hook up to Usb. Any idea on what voltage the backlight works on please? Cheers, Kyle. |
