You can grab the KVL Mini on AE on the cheap. It uses a 4-pin 3.5mm TRS adapter for data and other connections. Pair it with a used Hirose Keyloader cable for an xts5000 and you're good to go with KFDTool software, no extra fuss needed. Bad news: the Arduino shields aren't in production anymore and the creator is taking an extended break. Same goes for the official expensive KFDtool, always out of stock and no indicator of them being produced anymore. If you need to keyload, go for the KVL Mini.
Can you tell me what the pinout is on the XTS side? I know a couple of the pins get tied together to enable key loading, but not sure which ones. I also don’t know what ends up going to data, sense, and ground on the kfdshield. Trying to make my own cable. Thanks.
When I posted this, they were still in stock, however, an IG page called SIGINT SYSTEMS might have bought them out and made turnkey kits. You should check it out.
was programming the arduino easy? i dont have any experience whatsoever, I just ordered the KFDshield by itself since it was the only thing available, i have to provide my own ardruino and do some lightweight soldering
@Based Radio yeah, I finally found a dude who did a tutorial, it looks pretty straight forward. Interesting concept, wayyyyy better than spending 2K just to upload freaking keys!

Thanks for this tip, boss. Was wondering if the shield was out of production as the website appears to be dead.

It looks like successor to this, the KFDMicro, has a the Arduino controller built in - is this correct?
Has anyone been able to find or make one of these?
How did you get your hands on this they’ve been sold out for half a year.

@@based_radio do you have a link i cant seem to find any info about the company besides .Gov websites for something else.
whats the pin out for the hirose to 3 wire connector??
Hirose Pin 2 (GRN) - (DATA)
Hirose Pin 3 (YEL) - (SENSE)
Hirose Pin 4 (BLK) - (GND)
ignore the colors
Can you give us the pinout for the 3 wire Hirose cable?
Hirose Pin 2 (GRN) - (DATA)
Hirose Pin 3 (YEL) - (SENSE)
Hirose Pin 4 (BLK) - (GND)
ignore the colors
Hello, can you provide me with a copy of this program.
Which arduino? The uno?
Uno has the similar form factor, but you can also use arduino copies
Search printables for a 3-d printer enclosure “KFDshield enclosure case thing”

Flashing an arduino is very simple. Download Arduino IDE. Plug in your arduino via USB, then flash the FW
