Teensy (post nerd e scacciafiga)

Tra i tanti progetti che porto avanti contemporaneamente, uno è quello della tastiera USB per macro universale.
Ricordate che di tanto in tanto faccio sottotitoli?
Ricordate che nel mio rozzissimo tutoriali per VSS decantavo l’utilità di una tastiera esterna con le macro?
Bene, quelle in commercio o non sono programmabili, o sono care impestate, o hanno troppi pochi tasti, o sono dispositivi per gaming troppo ingombranti.
Quindi ne ho messi in cantiere (sei mesi fa, credo, ormai) due modelli, uno molto piatto (una volta finito sarà poco più alto del circuito di comando, la cui altezza è influenzata soprattutto dalla presa USB) e uno pieghevole.
Com’è come non è (tagliare e forare il plexiglass è un lavoro di fino) il primo è rimasto indietro, ed ho terminato il secondo, più grezzo.
Sono partito da Arduino, nello sviluppo del progetto, ma ho ripiegato immediatamente su Teensy, molto più piccola, economica, e soprattutto ai tempi era l’unica a fornire una HID USB nativa.
Ne ho studiato la documentazione, ho rotto le scatole a diversi amici per un’estate sulla modificabilità di codici e librerie trovati online, ho provveduto all’acquisto.

Per la tastiera, il modello flat è una matrice di pulsanti su millefori (vedrete), per quello pieghevole, come vedete, sono quattro tastierini pseudo-telefonici acquistati su ebay collegati in matrice:

Come si può vedere, il fatto che colonne e righe avessero i pin mescolati e non in ordine non ha facilitato la cablatura.

C’è una sola vite per cerniera perché, fisicamente, l’altro occhiello andava in corrispondenza di una pista: mettere le altre quattro viti avrebbe significato danneggiare la tastiera, cosa che ho evitato per il resto del fissaggio inserendo le viti nei “montanti” plastici più esterni.

Ovviamente a lavoro finito ho rivestito il lato posteriore con una gomma antiscivolo, ho messo dei piedini alti quanto il chip+USB in modo da dare stabilità e ho lasciato una finestra trasparente per il LED e il pulsante di reboot (che serve per il caricamento del codice).

Già, il codice. Ho copiato e attinto da codice di diverse applicazioni, ho chiesto aiuto su un paio di forum quando la mia bozza non funzionava. M’hanno fatto levare gli apici dai case dello switch -boh?- e rileggendo le specifiche della libreria ho visto che dovevo togliere una colonna dal pin del LED (ebeh, RTFM).

È legnoso, ridondante, ma funziona.

E funziona, pure. Ne sono tanto stupito che questo post è grossomodo per chiedere “cosa ho sbagliato due volte per farla giusta?”.

Bravo! 🙂 Ed il fatto che abbia capito il codice mi rassicura sul fatto che il mio 18 in fondamenti-informaticaII almeno è meritato ^^;;;

Vuoi un simulatore di macchinetta del caffè in C++ che funziona anche se non dovrebbe? 🙂

Complimenti!
Che ti abbiano fatto rimuovere gli apici dai “case” è perché i codici che stai usando (KEY_S, KEY_N, etc.) sono parte di una “enum” (enumerazione) e sono di fatto degli interi, non dei caratteri e nemmeno delle stringhe.

Prego! Sto pensando di incominciare una serie di video su C/C++, pensi che possa essere utile? 🙂

  Assai. Da quando ti sei convertito al “questo post non è disponibile in italiano” è ‘na traggggedia 🙂
