Template and other support files for building a low-cost Steno keyboard
The kbd*.ps
file contains a simple postscript program for generating
the Volksboard layout template. Rather than trying to print it directly
it seems better to generate a PDF file using ps2pdf
:
ps2pdf kbd-18.5.ps
and print the resulting kbd-18.5.pdf
By the way, the 18.5 in the name refers to the vertical center-to-center
spacing of the switches. Both it and the horizontal spacing (currently 20mm)
are easily changed by changing constants at the top of the .ps
file.
Instructions for building the board are in a Google Doc.
Firmware for the board is available on GitHub
