| Bluetooth KB Encoders?? |

| HyperCade:
Been a while since I trolled here. Am working on a retro project and wondered if anyone had a line on a hagstrom-type encoder card that worked by bluetooth rather than USB or PS/2. Anyone tried adapting one, or know of an already in-production product that would be helpful! Thanks! |

Hagstrom?? It has been a while since you've been around. :lol ;D Look into the Bluefruit. Scott |
| HyperCade:
Well now, that is quite interesting.. So.. a clever person can open up an iCade, snip the wires and wire it to this encoder, and it will pair with anything including android tablets (which iCade has a real problem with). Do they have a product that accomodates analog dials? |
| PL1:
What you describe sounds possible, but I haven't looked into the Bluefruit beyond the fact that it attaches via bluetooth, acts like a keyboard, and you can change keystrokes by recompiling the firmware. Analog controls will require a board with A/D conversion like the Atmel ATMega32U4 in the KADESTICK or the updated version that Degenatrons is working on here. Not sure if the Bluefruit has A/D conversion, but the pin labels don't look promising. :( Scott |
