[GreenKeys] iTelex Hardware

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

For months I've been researching other people's projects (such as the
Aetheric Message Machine or this one:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8478520) and looking into how I might
build and program a Pi (or a Pi behind an Arduino) to interface my
teletypes to modern technology. Having done the research and looked at
parts and what it might take to program a Pi to do so, I eventually
discovered i-Telex by way of a YouTube video. I've decided to drop the
entire Pi idea because, while it would be a fun and worthy project, I agree
with Steve-- it would take a lot of time and effort  I don't have figuring
a lot of things out, especially in software. I'm personally more interested
in getting connected to something that works than reinventing the wheel. If
anyone does decide to go the route of the Pi, though, I'd be interested in
helping build and troubleshoot an interface. I would just rather not be the
main trailblazer when something already exists that more or less does it
all and my time is limited as is. I did have some fun ideas I wanted to
incorporate in my Pi interface to include some kind of prefix code that one
could type in from the teletype that the Pi would be programmed to
intercept and turn into ACSII or even UTF-8 output, which would make
connecting to modern *nix systems a lot easier when one wants to use a
baudot-encoded machine.
