- NOTE: guessing pin5(KEY_PREV) may work for hysteresis of capacitive sensing.
+ NOTE: Probably HYS changes threshold for upstroke and makes hysteresis in the result.
+ NOTE: HYS should be given High(1) when previous KEY state is Low(0).
NOTE: 1KOhm didn't work as pullup resistor on KEY. AVR internal pullup or 10KOhm resistor was OK.
NOTE: JP has two HC4051(Z2,Z3) and line 5, 6 and 7 are connected to both of them.

- While pressing space bar, watched HHKB original controller signals by logic analyzer.
+ While pressing space bar, watched HHKB Pro original controller signals by logic analyzer.
Row and column is looping between 0-7 each for selecting a key.
A key is scaned every about 15ms, so scan rate is 66Hz.
(HHKB_chart1.jpg)
Space bar locate at ROW:3 COL:7. A key is selected by HC4051(C,B,A) and LS145(C,B,A).
- Key state can be read on TP1684(4/KEY) while asserting low on LS145(D).
-
- Usage of TP1684(5) is not clear. Controller seemed to output previous key state on this line.
- However key state can be read without using this signal.
+ Key state can be read on TP1684(4) while asserting low on LS145(D).
