I can finally type on my typewriter computer
Last month, I got a Brother AX-25 electronic typewriter from the 80s, and I've been working on turning it into a Linux terminal, or a teletype. I've been working on connecting the typewriter's keyboard to my Arduino, and I finally managed to get it running! The keyboard is scanned using two multiplexers, much like the circuit used to control the typewriter. Before, my typewriter was only really a teleprinter, but now it works like an actual teletype! Now I can type on it without having to send it commands from my laptop.
