Internal of HHKB pro
=====================
HHKB pro has MCU and some chips on separate two PCBs.

Controller PCB

Connector Cable
---------------
Two PCBs are connected by 15 lines(13 in case of Pro2).
Vcc and GND use 3(2) lines each, other lines are for keyboard signaling.

    HHKB connector lines:

    NOTE: guessing pin5(KEY_PREV) may work for hysteresis of capacitive sensing.
    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.

Signals charts
--------------
    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).

    3) Wait 5us after column select, then set prev, strobe colD to spit out key status and read it.
    prev    _~~~~_____          20us if previous key state is low
    colD    ~~~__~~~~~          10us strobe
    key     ~~~____~~~          22us indicates current state of the key

    NOTE: JP scans twice fast as Pro/Pro2 does. So Pro/Pro2 scans 8x8 matrix in 15.4ms while JP scans 16x8 in that time.
