USB HID to Amiga Adapter
- USB input that supports hubs, mice, and keyboards.
- Pin Header connectors for connecting to 4 or 5-pin Amiga keyboard and DB-9 Amiga mouse
- Supports standard USB HID mouse and Keyboard at the same time
- Easy firmware update via USB
You may need a USB-C to USB-A adapter, by default you can connect a single device (USB HID keyboard or mouse).
To connect both a keyboard and mouse at the same time, you will need a hub. Note that not all hubs are supported. Most powered hubs work, but usually you don't need to connect the extra power source for one keyboard and one mouse.
If there is any failures in mouse or keyboard content try clicking Reset or updating the firmware.
When plugging in the Amiga cables, pay close attention to the "key" pins which will have no pin. This will show you the orientation of the cable.
Software
To update the firmware plug the USB-C port while holding down the boot button to enable firmware update mode. Plug it in to a modern PC (Mac/Windows/Linux) and copy the firmware file to the RPi volume. The firmware will automatically load and reset, you see the activity light turn on for a few seconds to verify the firmware has been loaded.
When the board boots, the activity light will be solid for a few seconds to signify the board is booting with a valid firmware.
