you'd need to get a little more advanced and see which keys were pressed at what times, then translate them to the print version and send them out.

Hi all,This has been on my mind off and on for years: I would like to make a Braille keyboard. I am realistic enough to know that it will probably never happen (I could not pay for all the parts), but I want to know about the programming end of things. How would I go about this? I assume a microcontroller with a pin for each key. The controller has a sort of "database" where certain pins mean send certain keyboard messages, and send nothing as long as any key is pressed (except control keys). Am I way off the mark? I imagine nine keys (six like usual plus space, backspace, and enter) as well as control, shift, applications, escape, a key for JAWS or other screen readers to use (mimics Insert with numlock off), and Windows, and maybe a row of function keys. Is something like this possible? I know that some devices like this exist, but they are extremely expensive and I do not know if they have all the modifier keys necessary for full computer control.Have a great day, Alex __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
