return works too, but o caps yet no caps yet
set touch o heavy ow o nnnow does tend to skip some letters
like the n at times space works UUUUUUUASDOESTHESHIFT
BUTnot together it sems seems MM MM CAPS
to sumarkie summariesummarize:some functions ork,
others need to be teaked.Suspect the code has a bug that ill
not allo caps lock and space bar function to work simultaneously,
but other than that it does work=+, although e seem to have
mapped a few characters to twhe wrong keys.
Oh yes, we have instaled this on an Olympia SM9 Deluxe.
We modified the installation instructions and installed a ne
cross member made of wood, hich holds the contact strip. I ill
post a photo ot two ith this. EOM
