Toot

@whitequark I think you're tinkering in the FPGA space. I just had a random idea—what if instead of doing a keyboard matrix I wire every button to an FPGA instead so that I have a dedicated pin per button. It doesn't seem too insane on paper, and I wonder what's the current best deal to get into FPGAs again. I have a breadboard with a spartan 6, but they didn't route enough pins out for a keyboard project. What's the best deal with FPGAs nowadays? I can theoretically solder a BGA in, but a QFP would be way easier. It seems that AMD bought Xilinx while I wasn't looking and I have no idea on where we stand now in re. accessibility of the software to author HDL.
