Hi folks!
I am wanting to develop a chip which will do the following:
Take Keyboard input via USB, record something about the input - and then pass the input onto the computer. I want the recording of 'something' saved on an sdcard or some form of memory so it is persistent across runs.
So - i started with one of these: http://uk.farnell.com/ftdi/v2dip2-32/module-dev-32-pin-2x-usb-vnc2/dp/1825832 However I have found the chip difficult to code - being entirly c based - and do not like the platform in general, has so many bugs and no community around to support it.
The chip was suitable because it had 2 USB ports, meaning I could plug the keyboard into one of them, then a male to male cable in the other to connect it back to the computer. I then bought an sd card reader chip for saving state and a FT232 UART to help me debug. Problem was VOS which is the OS layer the VNC2 runs was just massively flawed and caused so many problems debugging etc
I am a massive Java fan - and was wondering perhaps if there is a chip out there which supports Java? Would the above be possible via a chip which runs Java? I am looking for any suggestions!
