Not sure what you're expecting out of this. But I'm a ridiculously boring person. Still not sure why I deserve to be interviewed but eh, why not? It'll be short and sweet.

The one on one is more to showcase one specific person and things they're working on, I think it gives some good insight into people who usually are just behind a keyboard.

That's true. I did learn a decent amount about Bro Caps from the last one. Great work overall though!

Photoelectric · « **Reply #43 on:** Thu, 19 December 2013, 12:57:33 »

That was an interesting podcast! I agree about experimenting with different materials, and I too love natural wood varieties. What I'd love to see is a wood "sheet" for a keyboard top (like instead of layering acrylic, bolt on a shaped piece of wood at the top of the case as a cover), something fairly dense with nice figure, and carved or burned with designs. Or a fully carved wooden case made of 2 parts.

Random samples from google image search (doesn't need to be that intricate, but just illustrating the endless possibilities):

Add colorful stains, like blue or black/gray, and various oils and finishes.

Alternatively, tooled leather bolted on at the top with some aged looking bolts.

As a maker, I really loved this podcast, all about making stuff, I just wanted to jump into the discussion, so much. One day, one day.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #45 on:** Thu, 19 December 2013, 14:44:14 »

Nice one! I also appreciated the discussion on customs. As a maker and designer, I like hearing what people want, rather than just what I myself personally want.

Good job trying to rein in ming, when he got to talking about woods, finishes, and DeLoreans. We all know how ming loves to talk.

JPG · « **Reply #46 on:** Thu, 19 December 2013, 15:12:46 »

Can anyone link me that thing that could convert an F switch to a digital switch? Or put the right name in text at least? That thing sounds so promising (probably cost too much but still).

OK, might have found it: [size=78%]http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD7147A.pdf[/size]

If I look at that thing, the only concern would be the delay. Depending on the value I look at, the conversion delay would be somewhere between 3 ms to 200+ms. Anyone know how to read this paper and get a "real life" delay out of it?

Nice thing is that it seems you can plug like 13 switch on 1 of these, so it could be reasonably priced for a whole keyboard.

Sometime during the podcast I heard someone typing on a keyboard, whoever it was, can you tell me which keyboard/switches you were using?
