Intriguing project. Love it very much [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-ac509411-e903-43c1-a37d-1c760d6f639c/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Nice project.

Here is an idea where the Edison might have just the right horsepower:

tape a white plastic rod below each key
generate a planar laser beam just below all the rods (like a laser level)
view from below with a camera
when a key is pushed, the laser will illuminate the corresponding rod
the Edison just needs to do simple pattern recognition on the camera image

I was always keen to see this one.

The sensing will be the hardest bit, so I'm keen to see the solution.

You have plenty of room underneath, so at least that's one thing in your favour.
