Print box for device on RepRap - TO BE SKIPPED/TOO FANCY
Improve Android application to support different keyboard layouts for different applications. Users should be able to create their own keyboard layouts. For instance Photoshop/Microsoft Word/Eagle shortcuts.
Notes
LPC USB HID ROM cannot be used since the hid device subclass is hard coded.
I need to find out how to put hid keyboard to idle state, otherwise it is flooding my usb bus
Why make special hardware for this? All you need is bluetooth (or wifi) dongle and custom software (well, you can already find such software: bemused, remotedroid, vnc) and mouse/keyboard is even part of bluetooth specification (with proper software your mobile phone can behave as keyboard without need for non-standart software/drivers on PC)
