Prototype keyboard.

February 14th, 2006 Mick Leave a comment Go to comments

Well, I’ve built the first prototype of the board, and coded up rev 1.0 of the keyboard software.

Rev 1.0 supports the usual keybounce routines, and braille decoder. It’ll take a bit of tweaking to find the optimum balance of keybounce vs proper operation. I’m thinking of supporting dynamic keystroke detection so that as someone gets better at typing, it’ll shorten the delay between the keybounce routine and a valid keystroke. This means as you get faster typing, it won’t slow you down.
I’ve set the theoretical maximum limit to double the speed of the current world record, (150wpm or 12 cps). Now that shouldn’t be an issue!
