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...
I've been poking around some of the "Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR)" sites [1], checking out what Uncle Sugar might do for the cause of...
David, Thanks for the heads-up, it just took mouser 12 days to tell me they couldn't get me the AT90S2313-4PC. My question is how does the 4PC differ from the...
Hi Jarod, According to Atmel's parts code decoder (http://www.atmel.com/general/ resources/doc0538.pdf) the part number suffix contains the speed (10 vs 4),...
You can load a .hex file such as my kbm06.hex into the chip with a "chip programmer" program such as avrdude [1] or Ponyprog [2] that runs on your PC and works...
Well, I built myself a little programmer and tried it out with avrdude and some ATtiny2313s under Linux and Windows. Avrdude 5.0 seemed to like it at first....
Some opinions voiced at Ask Metafilter [1] on wearable keyboards mentioned the Frogpad, Twiddler and chordite-style keyboards. As usual people seem to see...
Hmmm.... I notice that the chordite version on the front page could be implemented using the poker chip indexing system (mentioned somewhere on chordite.com,...
FYI Russell refers here to the chips that have little gear teeth around their rims, top and bottom, that lock when you stack them. You might have seen them...
