I've made a thing - 32key Keypad
« on: Sat, 23 November 2013, 22:12:35 »
So, I made this thing... it's a 32-key gamepad?  Sure, that's what I'm going to be using it for anyway.  Unless it doesn't work out right.  We'll see.



This one should soon be replacing my old 'gamepad' which I made a few years ago, thanks to the work Dox originally did on the DoxKB.  There are some keys I just don't use, and the USB came out the wrong place (because of the Teensy) and I've learned a lot how I use it, and what I thought I might like to change/improve.

MOZ made the acrylic case in the picture there.   Yes, it's still powered by a Teensy (on a daughterboard) or an ATMEGA32U4 (also on a daughterboard) either way, the main board doesn't care :D.  The Teensy version can partially be seen at the top of the first pic... the non-Teensy version I haven't quite put together yet, but the boards can be seen at the top of this pic below.

Anyway, that's all I have for now, just ... sharing?

Wowza, just noticed my name in the silkscreen!.

As I mentioned in out little exchange, this is excellent, once this is complete, we should take it to the next level with an integrated joystick.
