I'm attempting to interface with the 15-pin connector on the AX-45. I'm assuming it uses a similar protocol as the IF-50 / IF-30 interface which has been described in other forums https://forum.classic-computing.de/forum/index.php?thread/29023-panasonic-r… and has a working interface emulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UJ5cyvNC_M I opened up the typewriter and traced the pins of the 15-pin centronics connector. So far I came up with this pin 1 : GND pin 2 : connected to the IC + has a pulldown resistor pin 3 : GND pin 4 : connected to the IC + has a pulldown resistor pin 5 : GND pin 6 : connected to the IC + has a pulldown resistor pin 7 : GND pin 8 : N/C pin 9 : N/C pin 10 : connected, but haven't been able to trace yet pin 11 : connected, but haven't been able to trace yet pin 12 : connected, but haven't been able to trace yet pin 13: N/C pin 14: N/C pin 15: N/C Probably these pins map to DATA CS CLK and ACK But this is still a work in progress - If we can figure out how to get the typewriter to listen to our commands we're one step closer to getting it to print.
