**Goal:**
Make a desktop numeric keypad that acts like a 12 button telephone keypad. Software needs to work with any application (so it can be used to replace the regular keyboard) running under Windows XP.
**The Keypad:**
We will use the Targus Model #PAUK10U USB Numeric Keypad. We will remove a few keys (leaving a 3 x 5 matrix) and reprint the remaining keys, as shown in the Figure.) We will not modify the electronics. This will be the *only* key input device running on the computer during use.
**The Software:**
We want this device act like a telephone interface, generically under any application in the XP environment: a complete replacement for the regular keyboard. This means the software will use “triple tapping?? to enter letters and numbers. (i.e. hit the “2?? key once for A, twice for B, thrice for C and four times for 2). As long as the user continues to press the key faster than the “Timeout?? threshold, the software will continue cycling between the options. (The Timeout threshold can be set in a control panel.) When the period of inactivity on any given key exceeds the Timeout threshold, (or another key is pressed) the character shown at that time will be registered.
The options for each key are defined by the “New?? graphic below. “Shift?? operates *momentarily* on any *letter* key pressed simultaneously. No shift lock. No shift functionality on any non-letter keys.
**There will NOT be any other input device running simultaneously**. To kill the emulator program (and return to the regular keyboard operation) the user will need to press “Shift, 1, Shift, 1?? sequentially, (not at the same time.)
