Hi folks,
Recently I've picked up the bits of the infra-red Apricot keyboard that
Jules investigated at my place and left in bits all over one of my
sofas :)
Hey, the task was merely to see how it came apart - you were on yer own
after that point! ;)
I know CCD based video cameras can see infra-red......
Hmm, you got me curious there... had a poke around via google; some
digital cameras seem perfectly capable of it, but you need an IR filter
over the lens (presumably you need this for a camcorder too)
I'd be surprised if the IR was the problem though; it's obviously
working in some fashion to be letting some keys through. Seems more
likely that the membrane's borked (I suppose you could make a note of
what keys don't work, then check for continuity through the membrane
when those keys are pressed...)
Apologies in advance if this message appears garbled,
I'm using an
awfully off-topic Mac G4 with OSX 10.2 and I'm not used to its settings
yet :)
Did you get the quick one? Did you bring that HP rack home? ;)
