keybrd library for creating custom-keyboard firmware
keybrd library for creating keyboard firmware
====================================================
keybrd library is an open source library for creating custom-keyboard firmware.
The resulting keyboard firmware is compatible with standard USB keyboard drivers.

Here is a [minimal keybrd sketch](tutorials/keybrd_2_single-layer_annotated/keybrd_2_single-layer_annotated.ino).
The sketch has about 50 lines of code and runs on a 4-key keyboard.
It runs on a breadboard with rows, columns, and diodes just like the big keyboards.
The sketch is small because the keybrd library takes care of the low-level details.
