The Awesome Button

Posted by Roblimo on from the learn-by-playing-around dept.

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.

    do monkeys have an awesome button?

    Monkeys don't need an awesome button because monkeys are inherently awesome.

    That is why it is called 'slang'.

    It is not supposed to mean what the original definition is.

    If you are old enough, you would probably have taken people to task for misusing the word 'square'. Which amusingly enough, would have made you one :)
