Would only have to pull the roller out and fit the sensors in.<br /><br />Might make for nice conversion if I can get it to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-34736560374398520682015-01-01T19:22:01.570-08:002015-01-01T19:22:01.570-08:00Is there a chance to get step by step instructions...Is there a chance to get step by step instructions or schematics for the keyboard build?<br /><br />Seems this could be a lot easier that chopping up a keyboard.<br /><br />Thanks<br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-4961121904383307842014-08-12T22:03:22.372-07:002014-08-12T22:03:22.372-07:00Hey this is absolutely fantastic. Although I knew ...Hey this is absolutely fantastic. Although I knew about chorded keyboards, I didn't know that steno keyboards also used chords (I believed they just type sequentially, really really fast).<br /><br />Maybe a chorded keyboard (like the image on the wikipedia for the entry) would be a good project, as you don't have to have your hands raised while, for example, you want to type while lying down (relieves strain, especially for those who can't sit for a long time or are hospitalized).<br /><br />Also, congratulations for writing your first working programs in C! If you take note which loop checks conditions when, it's the easiest language on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-65013397896170332012014-06-05T17:58:53.166-07:002014-06-05T17:58:53.166-07:00I put my source code up at github...

"steno_keyboard.ino" is the original version, for the Arduino Mega. "mux_steno.ino" is the for the newer board using an Arduino Micro and fewer pins.<br /><br />These are my first working programs in C and I think they are pretty simple and easy to understand. I'd love to hear what you think. (I've been programming in Forth for 25 years or so).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401239594007201110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-31345464089985930222014-06-05T16:19:58.863-07:002014-06-05T16:19:58.863-07:00I got the switches at MechanicalKeyboards.com,

Clears are pretty stiff compared to browns. I made a second keyboard, this time using an Arduino Micro and multiplexing. On that board I replaced all the springs with some I hardvested from Cherry MX browns from an old keyboard I already had. I need a source of cheap browns or reds! I'm happy to share the code for both boards, I just need to figure out where to put it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401239594007201110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-75811395985133730722014-06-05T07:25:11.311-07:002014-06-05T07:25:11.311-07:00I'd love to know your source for the Cherry cl...I'd love to know your source for the Cherry clears and (if you're willing) your source code.<br /><br />Has the board held up for you?David Graperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670442531330174041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-79974407084448162402014-04-18T11:07:31.382-07:002014-04-18T11:07:31.382-07:00Love it!
