What is it?
I couldn't get good video of it since I had to wrap it up for a Birthday Gift.

Only counts if you made it.

I love the one with eight keys and the little guy knows which one to turn off. I wold love the specs. on that machine.
One of the videos of a machine with 8 switches includes sort of a rut on how it was built. It uses an inkjet printer carriage. He somehow figured out how to use the printers encoder strip and electronics to position the finger.
Once I get on a real computer I should be able to find it.

I could watch that for hours. Now to find a ink jet printer in someones trash and then figure out how to program it.
thank you.
I work in IT and have stacks of them, check out thrift stores.
