Keyglove

Full keyboard and mouse control in a self-contained, wearable, wireless glove. Freedom in the palm of your hand!

New prototyping hardware from @siliconlabs, @CypressSemi, @TXInstruments, and @BoschMEMS. Tiny footprint possible!

@mbeckler Long ago, I offered open-ended refunds to backers with unfulfilled rewards to maintain integrity. Only 3 went for it. Encouraging!

[Keyglove @keyglove]

@mbeckler You're thinking of the right thing. https://t.co/yoPynBgnUP Short answer is "slowly," but I will absolutely not give up. Ever.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

I need a glorified UART bridge IC that enumerates as a composite USB device (CDC, HID, maybe more). Happy Gecko line has a QFN24 for <$2.

Re: component updates tweet yesterday, I'm also looking at the @siliconlabs EFM32HG instead of the ATSAMD21. Smaller, cheaper, still works.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Technology has evolved around me. New components to study and integrate: Atmel ATSAMD21, Bosch BNO055, Cypress CYBLE-224110-00. Simpler BOM.

Just published a large @github repo update for Arduino 1.6.5-r2 compatibility. https://t.co/YjqXEzymNG #success

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Turns out my Bluetooth-related API command function implementations are too closely tied to the hardware. Needs a layer of abstraction.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Actually, these problems are the result of other code rearrangement, not the IDE upgrade. They just hadn't surfaced yet.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Enabling some optional features (like Bluetooth) is generating more compile issues in IDE v1.6.5. Guess I'm not quite done tweaking yet!

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Transition to the latest @Arduino IDE complete! Now I can pick up where I left off in the code. Or hardware. Or both.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Actually, pull requests from helpful contributors on @github solved the I2Cdev and MPU6050 warnings for me. What a great community.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Arduino IDE 1.6.5 upgrade is also making me fix warnings in iWRAP, I2Cdev, and MPU6050 libraries. I guess it had to be done sometime.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

...and, more importantly, it also flashes and runs correctly on the target MCU. Should've mentioned that before.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Woohoo! Successful compile with no warnings or errors in the latest official @Arduino IDE. Still have some things to double-check though.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Third fix: "multiline comment" warning on some // comments that end with a backslash. Huh. Weird. Easy solution with modified ASCII art.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

Second fix: new IDE pointed out an array subscript out-of-range problem. Oops. First runtime bug caught by the IDE at compile time so far.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

First fix: a zillion "narrowing conversion" warnings. Adding explicit casts eliminates the warning.

[Keyglove @keyglove]

About to start transitioning to Arduino IDE v1.6.5, now that Teensyduino supports it. Wish me luck! Maybe it will be relatively painless...
