Blackberry Keyboard Apk

[Alexandrie Gallup]

SomeArduino projects need a full-featured "keyboard" layout keypad instead of a membrane keypad, but a real keyboard such as the Adafruit Miniature Wireless USB Keyboard is probably still too big, too expensive, and maybe too feature-rich (Miniature Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad : ID 922 : $49.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits). Repurposing membrane remote keypads, as has been suggested, is not the best idea (example: -6A-Mini-44Key-IR-Remote-Controller-for-5050-3528-SMD-RGB-LED-Strip-Light-/141487083512/). What would be ideal to use in some cases might be a Blackberry Q10 OEM keypad. They are small and wonderfully designed, and more importantly, available and remarkably cheap ( -Q10-OEM-Keyboard-With-Flex-Cable-/251643319465). In a way, these world class keypads are what made Blackberry famous in the first place. A couple of months ago I searched for Arduino projects that use this keypad and I found nothing other than a few people who had also had this idea but had not brought it to fruition. No one had even determined the keypad's pinout and there is no documentation on the Internet as far as I can determine. The keypad is a bitch to interface because it uses a 0.4mm pitch connector on flat flex, not really all that hobby friendly. And it worked pretty well as hobbyist repellent as near as I can tell, until now. I have been able to build an adapter board to convert the appropriate connector to DIP, interface it to an Arduino, determine the pinout, and create a short demonstrator sketch to prove the interface and allow the user to type text out to an OLED. Here is some information about the project if anyone is interested.

It's all in the source code, referenced to the pin numbers that I give on my PCB. Note, the numbers don't follow the conventional numbering scheme, but it works if you go by them. Check out the source code comments and constants.

I asked around on Dave Jones' board. Once I had the correct receptacle part, I made a board at OSHPark. Once I had a board, I buzzed it out on a solderless breadboard, assuming it was a key matrix, which is exactly what it is. Once I knew what the pinout for that keypad was exactly, I made a quick demo board for it. Easy enough work, in the end.

I myself am a fan of blackberry and like those tiny but fuctional things. So I built this tiny USB keyboard with the original bb9900 keyboard. This unique keyboard with trackpad is powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU and operates under QMK Firmware, seamlessly transforming into a USB HID Keyboard and Mouse combo.

As this keyboard boasts a limited number of keys, we understand that personal preferences for keycodes and layout may vary. Thanks to the flexibility of QMK firmware, you can effortlessly customize and define your keycodes and layout using the VIA on web.

I once again had to remove the usb ports on the power bank board, and solder a chopped usbc cable on, but I like that the back can be removed, unplugged, and the pi can be powered externally (I already had to use this feature to hook up an external monitor to get Kali Linux working on the Pimaroni screen)

At the moment, the keyboard is plugged into a USB Port on the outside, but my plan is to directly solder the USB cable to the pins, and print a little "USB blank" to close up the port that will be used for the keyboard/mouse.

This has actually been a long time coming! I built a CinePi cinema camera last year, and although it's great - I dont actually need / enjoy working with cinema footage... so I decided to use the incredible Hyperpixel screen, and the best Pi in my collection (Pi 4, 8gb) to make a handheld Linux PC. Excellent for portable Pen Testing with Kali, or doing anything! Mainly though, I just think it's cool.

The keyboard has always been what's held me back though. I was going to design a PCB with a heap of tactile buttons, kinda like in the Armachat devices - but they dont look nice to type on, and it still leaves the question of a mouse open.

When I saw this Blackberry breakout keyboard with a mouse built in - I knew it was destiny! I ordered one, and grabbed the STL files from ZitaoTech's Github, reverse engineered them into a solid body (best Fusion 360 feature ever...) and then designed a case that holds the Pi and the Hyperpixel screen.

It will be a bit thick - but I love the idea of lots of battery life... I'm using the power bank's button to power it on an off, and I'll reroute the power bank battery % display somewhere to keep an eye on that. I could possibly integrate it with software, but that seems hard. And a physical battery display visible from the outside (similar to early MacBook Pro's that had that little button) will be cooooool!

Is it possible at all to make the STL for the case available? This project looks PERFECT. I was very interested in the ClockworkPi handheld, but have the same concerns. This project is exactly the kind of device I've been trying to find/build.

Disclaimer: I am posting this way to early, because Blackberry recently announced that they will close their platform, which, to my understanding equates a remote brick for remaining devices. So, before the supply of cheap replacement keyboards from AliExpress dries up, I wanted to see if anyone else is interested in this.
