I'm getting more organized on game mode (actually Q2 mode) and should start coding soon. Tentative assignments for the all-important single-key chords are as...
... Where on the handle do you add switches? Peoples' hands vary in length AND width, and not by a little. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com...
... Mmmmmm, maybe not. Accelerometers have a fairly low signal to noise ratio. Obviously it's good enough for Nintendo's wiimote to know that you're swinging...
I don't remember but nearly twice what John suggests. The biggest problem with them is not the force of the keypress, but instead the noise. These keys give...
There is also the Gyration Air-mouse <http://www.google.com/products?q=air-mouse&btnG=Search+Products> . It uses both accelerometers and "optical spin...
An interesting alternative to the use of manufactured switches presented itself at maker faire. A wire was tensioned over a PVC pipe and held away from it with...
At makerfaire I saw a glove that functioned as a wearable chording keyboard. A conductive fabric panel could be placed on a table, on a leg, on an arm, and a...
I should mention here the Spiffchorder [1], a joint effort of Greg Priest-Dorman [2] and Mikkel Holm Olsen . It's a 7-key USB design with 3 for the thumb. It...
I've got the 3-mode (keyboard, mouse and quake2 controller) code up and running. I'll post it after I alpha test it a bit more. Games differ from regular...
I've posted the 3-mode executable as Chordite005.hex in the files section of the newsgroup and the News page of chordite.com. It comes up in keyboard mode....
It's not assembled yet; it lacks the bent-wire braces, switches and circuitry but you can see how the 5 machined parts fit together. Remember beauty is as...
Here's a note from Marius, who got locked out by Yahoo :-) ================================ Hi John, Sorry for the huge delay, but I was unable to read the...
... Um, it hardens. Then you can carve and smooth it a bit, coat it etc and finally make a negative "proper" mold of the shape you ended up with. In college...
Below and in the photo section of this group are some belated pictures with the bent-wire braces in place and the switches temporarily wired to the arms but...
... Did you use cutting compound? It should abrade the threads a bit and make the screws turn easier... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_compound -- Best...
Hi! A friend and I plan to start a chorded keyboard. From all the chorded keyboards we saw, the chordite seems to be the most practical and best planned. I...
Hi Shmuel, As it says in the group description, "... The best thing to do is download the version 2.2 kit at chordite.com and then ignore the parts about the...
Thanks John. This information really helps me on starting. I'll first try with the SS-01GL13-F switches, specially because I don't know other options :) I'll...
I found this cited by Slashdot: a do-it-yourself data glove <http://www.cemetech.net/projects/item.php?id=16> , i.e., a glove with multiple electrical...
