Nuclear missile silo keyboard repurposed for usb
mouser:
Gothic (John), a programmer and electronics savant, who used to handle server administrator for DonationCoder, had a project featured on Hackaday.com today. Very cool stuff.
He found a weird old keyboard (with trackball) on ebay and it turned out to come from a nuclear missile silo. After some work with an Arudino board he got it talking to USB interface. Very cool.

Make sure you check out John's video:
Highly watchable.
When I saw John in real life over thanksgiving, I thought I would flex my youtube creator knowledge, and warned him about getting a copyright strike on the music playing in the background.
To which John replied that he had created the music himself, specifically for the video.
To which I thought, yes, of course you did, John. Of course you did.
Gothi[c]:
Yep :) I made it using the sunvox tracker - which is a great little piece of software. ( https://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/ )
Here's the original file, so you can make your own version of the song and/or mess with it:

There's not a single recorded sample in there, it's all generated with synth modules on the fly - which sunvox is great at.
( can this count as my NANY? :D )

Interesting stuff. I am curious about one thing though. Has anyone scanned this keyboard with a Geiger counter? 8)
