\nIt is not easy to create a seamless USB interface device using the Arduino environment. From my somewhat limited experience with Arduino (and Mac OS X in my case), any USB interfacing you do will be read as a serial device, making it a clunky method to create devices as essential as keyboards or game controllers.<\/p>\n

It looks like those days may be over though.\u00a0 There’s an awesome example<\/a> over at the Make website of a new development\/interface board called\u00a0 Teensy USB<\/a>. They hacked the Staples “Easy” button to insert synonyms to the word “awesome” in any document being written.<\/p>\n

Both models have an AVR ATMEGA processor, and it looks to be quite compatible with the Arduino environment and many software platforms. Arduino compatability is achieved through the Teensyduino<\/a> add-on\u00a0 and the microcode loading software –\u00a0 Teensy Loader<\/a> – is available for Mac OS X, Linux, Win XP & Win 7\/Vista.<\/p>\n

Sadly I have not yet been able to try this but I can already think of a few projects in which I WOULD have used it.\u00a0 More soon….<\/p>\n
