The Awesome Button 80
An anonymous reader writes "An awesome hardware hack which demonstrates how easily USB-based human interface devices (eg, Keyboards and Mice) can be created using the Arduino software environment."
A very nice little project based on the Teensy USB Development Board. Reminds me of the breadboard electronics projects my Dad used to work on with me many years ago. "Great fun for young and old," you might say.
It writes the word "awesome". (Score:5, Insightful)
Attention writers and summary writers: they key information (like "What does it do?") goes FIRST. Not buried in the middle of a paragraph. DEFINITELY not to be omitted entirely from the summary.
So, this is the sentence from TFA that should have begun the article and the summary:
It’s a plug-and-play USB device that will type a random synonym for the word “awesome” when the button is pressed.
Then the rest of us can say, "Gosh, that sounds pretty damn lame" and move on with our lives far more efficiently.
