Let me say a bit more about mechanical design. Most of my designs to date have provided lots of degrees of freedom for positioning the switches. I have...
I bought 2 teensy boards, $18 each, $42.60 total including postage. I modified the USB Chordite code to run on the teensy's atmega32u4 processor and...
It has been brought to my attention that this http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ might be a better choice than the at90usbkey board. I've bought a couple and will try...
Another mouse citation at Slashdot: http://www.openofficemouse.com/pr110609.html It's not crappy but it's ... what. Puzzling I guess. It's an 18-button mouse...
This collection of dumb pointer patents was cited today on Slashdot. I am pleased to report I did not get included. Truly, 99.9% of all patents are completely...
I have finally consolidated my instructions for building a USB Chordite prototype into a zipped kit anyone can download at chordite.com. For some reason the...
For the record, there is one slight problem with the Bequaert algorithm that arises due to our expectation about autorepeating --- that a held chord produces a...
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...
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 ...
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...
... Hi again Wow!Keys[1] is only for Windows but the photo of the guy at http://numerickeypads.com/ wearing a numeric keypad at his hip certainly make wearable...
... Thanks for the info. But I'm not really interested in a solution that's only for desks. I want to start with something anyone can use and try out with no...
It is possible to change both the Linux console and the X server's key mappings. You can search around a bit regarding 'loadkeys' and 'xkbcomp', both standard...
Tony you might take a look at this: http://www.aboutonehandtyping.com/introduction.html She makes some interesting points about typing at desks. She claims...
... John's other message made me think I should address why do this instead of a proper chordite. 1. easily hackable. no need to mess with microcontrollers...
why do this instead of getting a frogpad? 1. cheaper. way. 2. more hackable. there are many cheap models so it should be easy to find one that is amenable to...
Very interesting http://www.iu.hio.no/~frodes/numpad.html For my own purposes, I think I'd like to see a one-handed version of this. Ideally I'd like to tie...
It's out the side. I have no clips. It looked to me like it either comes out the side of the connector or it comes out the side of the clip so I didn't (&...
A few days ago one of my keys stopped working so I replaced it only to find the new one didn't work either; the problem was in the wiring. I use 10-conductor...
Switches are $1-$2 each. Only a few of those listed could I find in small quantities. The AT90USBKEY is $30 Wire, connectors, a few $ each. One thought about...
Ah, 370 seems to be one I wrote. Good thing I went to yahoo and checked. I have two arduinos hand have progressed only as far as making them blink LEDs. When...
Thanks very much, will have to knock a few priorities out of the way before i can start this then, but hopefully i'll be back in touch before too long :)...
The instructions in the group description are still current, with the single caution that the SS-01GL13-F switches mentioned in the referenced notes are now...
Just finished working my way through the archives. Just to establish a good starting point, am i correct in guessing that the instructions in the description...
