Using a Keybard as a controller?

[Alan Anderson]

You can't modify the Driver Station program, but you can still read the keyboard in a Dashboard program and send commands to the robot that way.

Any keyboard you use will still have a space bar, unless you physically modify it to break that key. Or unless you put a filtering device between it and the computer, which I suppose is what you were trying to get at with the Teensy?

[Greg McKaskle]

Maybe you want to connect a USB keypad? No spacebar, just a grid of keys that return numbers and a few symbols. Read it from the dashboard, process it or send it raw to the robot.
