I've uploaded some photos of a partially constructed new design to the photos section of this news group. It has the usual kingpin bolt and spacers but the...
I've posted two more pictures of my new design, trying to make clear how the adjustment works. Again the wiring is not yet in place. IMHO it's rather slick...
I've put a zip file with lots of pictures of the new design on chordite.com, accessible via the latest entry on the news page: http://chordite.com/news.htm...
... (relaxed) ... somehow to ... that ... points on ... adequate ... To reply at this blob-idea; Me and a friend of mine are going to try constructing the...
Sounds super to me Rik. You guys are a little more sophisticated than I am in materials and techniques. It really does need USB but I'm too lazy. Please keep...
BTW I had an error on that new license page such that if you clicked on the top line of the agree/download you went to the wrong place but if you clicked on...
Thanks, At the moment it's only in oure heads, but in about a week or two we will be able to get the needed parts, so the real constructing can begin. In the...
I am going to try and build my first keyboard. I was thinking i would buy my parts from Mouser.com rather than digikey because they seem to have better prices...
Sure, Mouser is swell. I hadn't been to mouser.com in a long time and it's very nice now although browsing via .pdf gets out of control after a while in my...
It looks like Mouser Part #: 571-1034148 would work as the header, should you decide to connectorize. I don't find any keyboard extension cables at Mouser. If...
Slashdot had an article yesterday [1] on the Alphagrip [2], which is to be held in both hands like a game controller. In fact it is a game controller along...
I have 4 extra printed circuit boards left over from the previous (mouseless) generation of prototypes as described in keyboard.zip. I'd like to give them...
Seppo's websites gkos.com and gkos.net are looking very nice these days. At them Seppo provides free PIC software and circuit designs for a six-key chording...
I've been considering how much work it would be to make a USB chording keyboard (one that plugs directly into a USB port instead of using a ps2/usb converter...
I got a thoughtful little note today from Digi-Key saying Atmel has declared my favorite chip obsolete and wants the world to use the ATTiny2313 instead. A...
I have the feeling there are now automated ways to post spam in unmoderated Yahoo news groups and that spam is going to increase dramatically. This will annoy...
As far as I know there isn't such a board. I never got around to it and I expect nobody else did either. What I did is use the old board gluing parts and...
I've been fooling around with the open source program "pcb" under Linux and have layed out a board for the latest keyboard+mouse design as found in the current...
A friend recently mentioned to me the danger he perceived of typing commands instead of text while experimenting with a chordite-style keyboard. There is...
I'm new to this group, and haven't had time yet to read all the past posts, so if this question has already been answered please just point me to the relevant...
Hi Russell, You can combine Seppo Tiainen's PIC design "GKOS" with the chordite key platform --- see gkos.net and gkos.com. As for keyboards on the gear shift...
I've just done a first trial run at custom fit "grip frame" that could substitute for the kingpost style frame that appears to be the current dominant chordite...
That's brilliant, John! Other than the procedure you describe I'm slightly stuck on how to fabricate the back brace and get your hand back out. I've been ...
I've recently been playing a lot of WarioWare Twisted! for the GBA. It uses a gyro sensor for controlling dozens of minigames. Here is a video I made(with...
Very cool. This makes me think of one of my dimmer ideas; the self-illuminating flag. Woven into the flag's fabric are long cylindrical piezoelectric threads....
One way to achieve a wireless, wearable, chording keyboard might be to hack a wireless qwerty as follows. Suppose you have a commercial, wireless qwerty...
