Hello, I am new to this forum and I've seen some pretty impressive stuff on here. So I decided to ask you guys a question about the G-13. I'm not Tech savvy with soldering and knowing how things exactly works but I was wondering how I could pin each key out from the controller its self
I know its ribbon controlled but not sure how it figure's out each key stroke individually. If you need more pics I can take it with a better camera. Or if you would like to get one to tinker with for yourself you can find cheap ones on http://www.cowboom.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: G-13
now to clarify i would like to know how to pin out each key so i can hook it up to a button in the last picture
if there were 26 lines i would know but their are a number on the same line so i'm a little confused on how to do it.

Re: G-13
Welcome!
That looks like it's made like a regular keyboard, so each button connects a different pair of pins together. I forget if keyboard controllers judge which buttons are pushed by shorting different pins directly, of if they only register with a resistance load.
If you have a multimeter you should be able to figure out which pairs produce which characters. I don't believe there's a set standard for keyboard controllers.
