i'm new to this group so first off, kudos to John and others for work
so far on this concept.
i've been playing about with ideas for this kind of thing for years
but Johns kingpin prototype is the first model i felt i could easily
fit the building of into my time-poor lifestyle.
i've built a first run of the hardware in a few hours over the weekend
and have begun practicing the chord sequences (amazing the difference
a piece of hardware makes to grasping - pun intended - the chording
idea) (can i post photo on this group?)
now i'm gonna do the electronics...
usb or bluetooth are the way for me since my wearable (n800) doesn't
have any other i/o's so i'm gonna start with the usb.
i'm about to order the at90usbkey demo board but before i do i just
want to confirm that there is no additional work needed to this before
i can program it up with john hex etc.
ie do i need any other hardware to interface this board with my pc
(windows or linux)???
Atmel's "at90usbkey" development board for their AVR+USB chip family costs $33 at Digi-Key. Right now they've got 105 in stock. It programs right through its...
As promised I've posted a hex file that implements a usb chordite on the at90usbkey board. I haven't hooked my board up to a real handset yet so it's only been...
A new file chordite003.hex is now in place. Chordite002.hex didn't actually work. 003 has been a little better tested. I hooked it up to a real switch assembly...
Another day, another version. ver. 004 uses the board's LEDs to show caps lock, modifiers and mouse mode. It still doesn't sleep. The at90usbkey board also...
Does the chordite code fit on an attiny26 with the firmware only USB? http://www.obdev.at/products/avrusb/index.html Seems like it'd be a nice solution....
Hi John Thanks for sharing! I bought some AT90USB162´s several weeks ago with exactly what you did in mind. Except the part with the AT90USBKEY. I didn't...
Happy New Year to you too Marius. The at90usbkey board of course has a little joystick but so far I'm not using it, mainly because it requires the board be...
... I looked into Stefan Salewski's description of his libs, too. But I didn't consider it, because they don't support the HID device class, which is the...
I've posted in the files section of this group a patch, m103k101_patch.zip, which converts Atmel's source code into the source for my current USB chordite...
Hi all, i'm new to this group so first off, kudos to John and others for work so far on this concept. i've been playing about with ideas for this kind of thing...
Hi Barry, The at90usbkey comes with a cable to connect to your host's usb port. Strictly speaking, you could buy a header (connector) to mount on the board...
It is my understanding that the N800 does not support USB in host mode. Thus you can't connect this to it, by USB. As a Bluetooth keyboard sure. Nick ... -- é...
the N800 has an OTG usb controller in it so can do both host and slave. the big problem is the mini-B connector, even though this is 5 pin as per OTG spec, it...
FYI I just now looked and found the box my at90usbkey came in has not only the cable I've been using, which on one end has a plug which fits into the board's...
... By the way, I'm selling the BluePacket BPM20422 bluetooth keyboard module for $30 plus $5 shipping. It's not chording, but I have a driver for the N800...
Russ how does one acquire a data sheet for either the module or the chip? I don't even see a way. They're probably only available in Chinese. Comparing block...
Well dang them to heck. When I order my module I guess what I'll do is glue it somehow to another little board that has a big, fat, easy-to-work-with, 40-pin...
... Sorry to hear that, but thanks a lot anyway. OT: If you're dissatisfied enough to try something different to a Linux distro and would like complete and...
Well, it obviously needed doing, once I learned it can be done. I wonder whether BSD has all the drivers I need for my antique hardware. One of these days I'll...
... Hardware support should be no more a problem, as it is with any Linux distribution. Especially older hardware. Only thing lacking is 3D-acceleration...
This note is only for people who care about the source for my executable hex file for the at90usbkey demo board, namely Chordite004.hex. Those who are...
Today I put into the files section of this Yahoo group a new patch, namely usb_chordite_6.patch and step-by-step instructions on how to use it, namely ...
I neglected to add that the hex file itself, namely series6-Chordite.hex is also now in the files section for the benefit of those who don't care about all...
