Keyboard Encoder Programming ( Similar to Ipac )

Pages: (1/8) > >>

coin_door:

I am looking to making a interface similar to Ipac.
I have established that the actual ipac board would cost $5
in parts to make. I wish to distribute a generic version of the ipac board at cost price to fellow Mamers.

My hiccup is that I dont know how to write a program for the main Cypress CY7C63413 chip.

I am wondering if there is anyone who would help me with this project that could write a similar program to what is on the Ipac board. I wouldnt want to copy the residual program that is on the ipac board, but to just get the board to function the same

Any ideas ?


lokki:

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
Are you suggesting to pirate the Ipac. And create a cheap knock off?

I'm pretty sure that the most Hardware that you buy is made cheaper that what it is sold to the consumers for. part of it is profit, but a huge part is getting payed back for all the Research & Development that went into creating the item.
Andy has spent hundered of hours creating (and improving) the ipac. Not sure it is right for you to steal his hard work.

Well I could supply some code....
While we are at it, I have had this long-standing idea for a car which will do 250 MPH and only cost $.0.05 per mile to run.
It's only in the idea stage at the moment, I need someone to develop it....

well there is a project with documentation on how to build your own encoder from scratch using amtel chips.  you can even program it with an lpt cable..
