GKs,
Before I reinvent the wheel
I thought I'd reach out and ask if anyone has already done
this.
Since my M15 is read only (no
keyboard) I was thinking of using an old tablet or Android as
a virtual keyboard.
For simplicity I was thinking
of implementing this in some sort of client side mobile code
like javascript
and HTML.
Say for example take an image
of a vintage green keyboard and slice it up into javascript
buttons.
The idea is when you touch
(or click) a button it triggers an audio sample of the AFSK
for that character
and the sound output of your
device is plugged into your TU.
(Yes I know I could use
FLDIGI but I want to use a graphic key board with green keys)
As a proof of concept I have
already generated the necessary audio files and tested it with
my android phone.
On the Android plugged into a
TU170 if I play A.WAV the machine prints an A, so on and so
forth......
Works great but it is tedious
to scroll through a list of audio files to find the letter you
are looking for.
Any thoughts?
Surely there is HTML and
Javascript already out there somewhere that just needs adapted
to this purpose.
A keyboard input being such a
universal and fundamental widget there has to be one out there
I could just download.
No need to write it from
scratch.
