I have been using this device or one of its predecessors since the mid 1980's, by 1995 it has been a full function chorder and my primary keyboard with both [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/people/priestdo/wearables/top|Herbert]], my wearable computer and conventional desktop machines.((If we met on psk31 I was probably using it as well)) Currently I use two versions, on the desktop I still use the pre-arduino [[spiffchorder:forside|spiffchorder]] which will work with any device that supports a USB keyboard, with wearables, phone and tablet I use the BLE [[:featherchorder|featherchorder]] which works with any device that can take a BLE compliant keyboard. The Spiffchorder was made possible as a result of work done by [[http://symlink.dk/contact/contact.php |Mikkel Holm Olsen]] on the [[spiffchorder:forside|SpiffChorder]]. If you are starting out you may find the featherchorder a better first project as it fewer parts to solder and does not require any other hardware to program it. /!Some of the instructions found here involve using sharp tools and soldering irons. We make no claims as to the safety of such activities.!/ Each project lists contact information for the person who created or maintains it. Please use that information when inquiring about a particular project. [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/people/priestdo/contact | Greg Priest-Dorman]]
