    Hi Don! Thank you, and thanks for the question. While volumes can be written comparing and contrasting all of the different technologies available for measuring gas flow, I'll try to give a reasonably…

    Hello, Thanks for your reply. The problem has now been solved. There was an error in the catalogue which has now been corrected. The correct sensors are with me and ready for test in my project. Thanks…

    If I were to spell EAT on my Tabla, I would tap my pointer finger, tap my thumb, and do a little kick to the 1:30 with the ring finger to get the letter t and you now have EAT! Please check out my site it explains everything! www.thenewkeyboard.com and see the layout at www.tablakey.com. Thank-you for the work you are perfecting. I hope to merge my aeiou alphabetical one hand or two hand split wireless keyboard. I wish to expand my concept to be thought of as a standard for computer input. Your idea blended with a logical and perfect setup. There are more expanded keysets, very logical, AWESOME for disabled, children, artists, really everyone. It is quick to learn and fun to learn! It blows qwerty away! I have left no stone unturned for the perfect layout. I am open to suggestions! But a keyboard layout based on AEIOU, lets face it, its the eureka keyboard! it's the I found it moment! haha. SO, i have a kickstarter that needs a production and fulfillment plan ready and turned back in. How many of these will you have available for market if we make this viral by this Christmas? How much will you want per unit? I will need ten per keyboard plus a moon shaped touch pad, above, and perhaps between the pointer fingers of each hand, so 12 hover responsive regions. I naturally could approach this as a pressure sensitive region without gesturing but I was intrigued by what you are developing!

    So, many thoughts about this, but I just ask please read the writings at my site, it explains everything. Today, I was struggling to order omron lever switches, then I googled Omron Specs Libs For Eagle, AND wallah, where were we? A Standard for the future! image

    The above photo is a sketch of options keys. I have the grouped as logically as possible. The only other change would be moving the left brackets of the grouping symbols to the outer region of the left side of the thumb region so there would be a jump back and forth grabbing motion.

    Do you have a question - Donna Fox will not answer it because she is one of the many "Zombie" experts - she doesn't log in (last time April 2013) any more.

     

    BTW - your keyboard idea will never get anywhere - the future of human => computer data entry is probably in voice/brainwaves/eyescan etc - it's not in a keyboard with button switchy things. Qwerty has that sewn up forever now.

     

    Tablet users will get better and better touchscreen "key" interfaces - there may be a futrure for your ideas in an app but forget the special keyboard thingy.
