| - | 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)) With the current version the chorder is now a usb keyboard and detected as a usb keyboard by the host computer. This change has been made possible as a result of work done by [[http://symlink.dk/contact/contact.php |Mikkel Holm Olsen]] on the [[spiffchorder:forside|SpiffChorder]]. As a result of this change, any device that can support a standard usb keyboard //should// be able to use this alternative keyboard by just plugging it in. | + | |

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. | ||
