Impressive, that's quite a piece of hardware. Without using goooogle who is Konstantin Schauwecker? I'd love to do this with my Olivetti Lettera 36.

I asked him already on reddit for the design files.

That's not what I meant! Tell us about this please hypkx! Did you build this? How does it work? Is this limited to certain typewriters? Can I buy this?

I think you misunderstand me, the reddit user https://www.reddit.com/user/Cone83 build it (he is Konstantin Schauwecker) and I asked him if he could share how it works.

Thanks for clearing that up. ;) I might send Konstantin Schauwecker my questions. Either way that's quite an "adapter" to understate it. Thanks for sharing BTW.

That is one of the greatest things ever! Add me to the "I want one" list.

Awesome! If it also manages to store the typed data on a USB stick (probably too much for an Arduino), I know just the person to build this for! :D

Doesn't get much more mechanical than that. Thank you for sharing this!

There exists an older kit that does the same thing.
