#22I wonder if I can program my novelty Stack Overflow ctrl-v/ctrl-c threeboard to work this way.
haha, I have one too!

#23Alternatively, get a 4-key board off amazon, popular for playing OSU Example: https://www.amazon.com/4-Key-Programmable-Mechanical-Keyboar...
These kinds of things are distinctly different, assigning macros or keycodes to specific keys. The threeboard is not a macropad, it's a fully-functional keyboard that can type anything, it just requires specifying the keycode to type or programming in macros to type words/sentences.

Haven't I seen you in ai03's Discord channel? I would have gone by a different name in there (this was from before the name change of the server, I think), but your handle is very familiar.

Hmm no, I don't know what that is.

#26Very interested to see that the simulator is built with simavr, a project I've been hacking around with a lot recently. As I understand it, enabling this kind of application is exactly the vision simavr was built with.
Good work!

That's wrong. The 4 key OSU keyboard is a 4 key keyboard emitting keycodes. I know because I have one (!!)
Some of them even use QMK so you can assign anything you want.

#28Now use that to code Brainfuck

My point is that they're macro pads where you can assign keycodes or keycode combinations to specific keys. The threeboard is itself capable of determining which keycodes to send and is not limited by what it's been programmed to do. So it's fully-functional in the sense that you can use it to type anything, it'd just take a really long time and make you very unhappy!

Simavr was fantastic to work with, it's a very impressive project!
