/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Is anyone willing to help a software-weenie with some hardware?
I've got an old laptop (butterfly thinkpad) that I want to rebuild. The keyboard is the critical part and I'm unsure of what I need to connect it to an arduino to capture key inputs.
It's an FFC but I'm overwhelmed by component sites, exactly what item do I need?
I'm unsure of how to measure it for the required specs, assume total retardation.

Not sure if I should post here or the stupid question thread.
I'm trying to connect this keyboard FFC/FPC to a breadboard or arduino but I am having trouble working out the connector I need.
It appears to be staggered pins at the end, not the same size all the way along. Does anyone know where I could find a connector for this? Thanks
