Guess what popped up today!!!!

Hi, I just thought I'd point you at an event I'm facilitating on Sunday 18 May in Eindhoven, Wal 28, The Netherlands : http://www.historicgameevent.nl If any of you are in the neighborhood, this is your chance to play those historic games ranging from Pong to the latest Oculus Rift enabled games. Wh...

Hah! Good to see it's back on track :=)

I'll make arrangements with tinnie for a hasty return to Europe!

Linux user?

I just love the simulation tools on 123DCircuits. Very easy to get into electronics without actually buying the stuff.

We might want to create a virtual image with all the right stuff already pre-installed and run it under VirtualBox?

Alright....

I'm looking into generating video tutorials using 123Design and 123DCircuit with enough depth to make it possible for people to start rolling their own project during the Interface Hackathon.

Too good to be true...

If it is true, I'm in for 1.

Maybe a more viable solution would be online tutoring. I don't know, just thinking out loud. Online tutoring...... Hmmm.... I think we should be able to create a series of HTBAB ( How To Be A Builder ) tutorials for : 1. Embedded hardware&software 2. Printed Circuit Board (PCB ) design 3. 3D CAD mo...

it's a neat idea. What do you think of mixing this with my " group build " idea? Basically we all gather together and each participant build his own keyboard with the help of the "experts". From soldering to firmware. We pre laser cut everything and buy all the materials. A sort of workshop+hackato...

I added the option to virtually participate. ( and reset the poll in the process... :-( ) I'd like to propose an "InnovateMate" , a person willing and able to virtually attend the hackaton and help out the physical participants in their endeavors with advice and pointers. Furthermore : I will be loo...

Hi all, I was wondering if some of you guys & girls would be interested in participation in an Interface Hackathon. The idea is that we would have a gathering at Eindhoven in The Netherlands at some date and realise interface related projects. It's like a DT keyboard party, but this time you would c...

Was there ever any advance on these converters?

None.....

Are there any volunteers to step in and finish the designs?

Correct!!!

Spot and identify the mech keyboard.

*keeps fingers crossed*

Is there any update on this?

This is what is on it's back, hope it gives any clues.... I reused it's carcass to build the a clicky matias SGI

That white tactile alps switch came from an SGI AT101

Pinged Tinnie.

I sent Halversons address to IonutZ

He responded, he will post the box tomorrow to ionutz!

Halverson : please do? I can't seem to reach out to him.....

Pinged Mashby again... *sigh*

Box is at Mashby.... Contacting next on the list : ionutz

Mailed Mashby...

When DT-keysounds is out, I'll gather many more boards but this time to harvest sounds instead of keyswitches.....

This is still on the agenda. Just the year is different

Ow wow.... That's not a review, that's a guide!

Welcome to DT!

Found DesignSpark Mechanical.... Excellent for my 3D modelling requirements!

Ah yes,

Just as long as you put an IBM SSK inside the box when it's your turn

You could be last...

I'm going to build the first software tool for DeskThority called DT-keysounds. The idea is to have a native app running on your computer that simulates the sounds for the keypresses for all my keyboards and those in the possession of Webwit. I'm currently running many keyboard sims over at mrinterf...
