Hi, Jay:
|I'm a new guy to this forum so I hope you don't mind me jumping in.
Great to have you join the discussion
|===============================================================
|The problem is that the IBM designers made the Keyboard autorepeat
|in hardware.
|There is an actual CPU in the keyboard sending out this rubbish.
|What would be better
|is a simply matrix and allow the program to do repeats if needed,
|and at what speed you
|want allowing ramping up etc. In my opinion it's one of the
|things (many) done wrong in the PC.
Which means that, if I'm using the keyboard as my jog, I can change the
typematic rate and step the motors a little faster. Sounds like a good
addition for TurboCNC.
