It is true that if this new board is based on a standard reference design for a keyboard type device, it will suffer the 6 key plus modifiers limit as Randy says. Yes this is not enough as two diagonally-pressed joysticks is 4 presses for a start. One of the very first design aims for the I-PAC was to overcome this limit. Grasshopper has the correct figure, but there is always some ambiguity in the limit because the number increases (above 15) for each of the modifier keys in use (ctrl, alt, shift, rctl, ralt, rshift). The Mini-PAC, I-PAC 2 and I-PAC 4 each use three different techniques in different combinations to increase the key limit. Just a bit of thinking out of the box does it. Andy W --- End quote --- This is the first I have heard that LCtrl, and RCtrl were treated differently as modifiers. Also, you are saying that Grasshopper has the correct number at 15, but my numbers of 14, 16, and 22 came directly from your E-mail of 8Sep03, which I will not quote here without your permission. I would like to ensure that I have accurate data on my page regarding your products, though. |
