simulating chorded keyboards

>designing it is 99% of the fun.

hahahahaha so ironic, If he only knew what he was getting himself into.
Let him explore, I learn things the hard way too!

Functional design is what I consider to be my "core" talent and
have been pinned into the "learning computer science" aspect of the project
for the greater portion of the last couple of years. I wish I could sub out
the grind and
get to the 99% fun part.

Ultimately depends on what he wants to design, If its just the layout, I
have been intentionally
building my code as a skeleton for that type of thing making it as readable
as possible
for someone new or familiar with Arduino code. Wish I had built on someone
else's
code base, but like him I thought... "why, I want all the design control".
Which is somewhat
valid because other code I saw was proprietary and completely greek to me
at the time.

You might want to check out "Plover" If you do find a NKRO keyboard.
Plover is also open source. (and Python based!)

Make sure he documents his experiments, I would be interested in seeing
them.
Just posted an update to the tenkey device -
