Dang. Somehow checking the relative address box in Composer in Mozilla 1.2.1 doesn't seem to be having the right effect. So I edited it by hand. Please try...
I've just fired up another kingpin-style prototype, this time using Omron D2F-FL switches (p823 in Digi-key cat. T031). They're smaller and lighter than the...
Lately I've been thinking idly about exactly how one should scan a hand to get the dimensions that would enable a miniature milling machine to carve a keyboard...
Hiya everyone, i've been following this board and the site for a while now, and really want to have a go at building my own keyboard. My problem is that i live...
Hi Zak, Digi-Key, www.digikey.com , seems to work in the UK. There's a little Union Jack at the top of their home page. Just click on that and off you go to...
I checked Uk.Digikey.com, and.... £25 for one chip if you include shipping and handling :( So back to my original idea, could anybody send me the chip, just...
Hi Joseph, The main issue is how to get the keyboard software (firmware) into the chip, i.e., how to program the chip with the free downloadable keyboard...
OK, I think I've got most of my confusions cleared up. Ignore everything I said before. (1) Of course John Tokash is quite right, PonyProg is free: ...
[I swear, I feel like I've already posted this before, but can't find the post... Ah, well.] Ah, yes. The idea for a thumb "mouse" - or at least some sort of ...
Once upon a time, somewhere, I saw a guy using a pointing device that looked like a ball-point pen with a half-inch ball and a cord out the top. You held it...
Well, I finally got all the parts together for the simplest programmer I could find, it was basically 4 resistors. I can not get it to work with Ponyprog...

Very cool on 1, 2 and 5 Darcy. 3 is supposed to be already there in a way. The way my original code works, as I recall, is that shift, control and alt all...
I'd like to say a little more about proper fit. I hope I don't sound preachy, just sincere :-) First off, a one-hand keyboard that's supported by the...
I'm still kind of obsessing about using coat hangers as the raw material for frames for prototypes. It really appeals to me but when I tried it the results...
