Most of the people are genuinely curious, and are still trying to figure out why you would CHOOSE to go a more difficult route, given all the obstacles YOU are presenting, in addition to the ones presented by others. Trimoor is a great example of this. He didn't get offended at your post. He elaborated on his original post. |

It's easy for disagreement to turn into conflict on-line. I guess I'm a fine example of that. :) I should have more faith in you guys! Trimoor: Sorry I jumped the gun, I guess I didn't understand what you were saying. I don't know the technical details of the existing keyboard encoders. I don't know if they are on PICs (and if they are on PICs, they'd probably be the older, one-time programmable ones, which were the only USB PICs until recently.) If they're not PICs (but rather some other kind of microcontroller) then I currently have neither the hardware nor expertise to re-program them. Plus if the circuit weren't set up for in-circuit serial programming I'd need to pull the chip to re-flash it, and that would be a pain. But in any case, it just wouldn't be worth the cost. It'd cost at least $30-$40 to get the pre-made USB keyboard encoder, and for that much money I could buy all the parts myself and then some. In terms of wiring it's a very simple circuit: hook up a USB connector, a crystal, and 20-30 screw-in terminals on a general-purpose board and it's good to go. It won't be as pretty as a custom-printed or custom-etched circuit board, but cheaper and probably easier to work with. I do generally share my source code. I don't know how much I'll have to write for the encoder itself, unless I decide to make it support re-mapping the buttons. |
