Well everyone who attended / watched KeyCon 2013 knows that Project Praiano was the TechKeys Business Card Keyboard.

Maybe Revello is something similar, maybe something TOTALLY different, or BOTH

This is most likely one of two things:

- A prototype for a complete keyboard PCB (of sorts, teaser pic can't indicate the actual size).
- A prototype for another techkeys business card.

Everything else is unknown and a cause for hype.

If those ravioli are coming from Campania like in your map, you better make us some nice red gravy! 

Pro tip:  San Marzano tomatoes, or just don't do it.  Even if you gotta get them out the can.

Check out this thread for more info (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60532.0). Also one of these Keycon Livestreams (http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=169.0) has the live presentation from i3oilermaker. Finally I posted some things live during the announcement in this thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60489.msg1398052#msg1398052).

LOL thanks.  I usually surf the forums through my Watched threads so I didn't see it.  Looks pretty awesome!

I finally got my switches soldered in, and got myself some tetris!

Story of my tetris life though...

And for those of you who really can't find it...... I shall never kiss and tell.

I may just keep this as my tetris box, I never had an early gameboy. Much fun, moreso without a score to remind you that you only got 3 lines and wiped...

You are receiving this message because you were an early adopter of the TechKeys Programmable Card.  Since its release some bugs have been discovered and fixed.  If you are interested in being on the latest firmware, the hex file is attached to this email and instructions for deployment are below.  Thanks for being an early adopter and I hope all of you tinker with the card and make something great!

Step 1: Download and install Flip (http://www.atmel.com/tools/flip.aspx)
Step 2: With the card plugged in short the two solder pads near the USB port.  (You can do this with and conductive material)
Step 3: Open Flip, Select ATmega16U as the Device, and open USB as the port.  (Two top left icons)
Step 4: Load the HEX file from the File --> Load Hex File menu
Step 5: Click the Run button.  Unplug and Re-Plug, and you should be good to go!

If you have any problems or questions feel free to let me know or post in GeekHack.

Thanks Again!

I'm getting an "AtLibUsbDfu.dll not found." message when I try to flash it. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Figured out I needed to install the USB driver and did so. Now it won't let me connect with Flip even though the device is showing up in my Device Manager.  :confused:

What is it showing up as in Device Manager?

After I short the pads, it pops up as ATmega16U2. Then I go to Flip and it doesn't show up when I select the device with that title. I click to open the USB connec and get a "Cannot connect" error message.

Yep. Then I click "Open" and it won't.

EDIT: So odd. I just plugged it into a different USB port and it worked. Flash successful!  :thumb:
