# PiTerm1986
**GOAL:** Convert 80s style user interface ( 8031 based ADP Product: chicklet keyboard and 2x20 lcd ) to pi zero based terminal using i2c based io expanders.
Looking under the keyboard membrane and tracing the connectors we can get the following key map under a 4x12 array (16 pins).
```

1) -LASDFGHJK<?> <ENTER>
2) 0912345678<BS> <START>

### Keyboard
For this we look at the AW9523 GPIO expander with 16 pins of io.
### LCD/VFD
Since the LCD is a 5v circuit requiring either 8 or 12 pins we look at the Microchip MCP23017 on the Adafruit GPIO Expander Bonnet which we can wire either using both ports or one port in nibble mode.
### Attaching Both Boards to the Raspberry pi.
