3. Project Overview The Huge Universal Language Keyboard (HULK) is a keyboard whose keys can be dynamically changed to display several different languages’ characters. Main Features: Loads languages from SD card Touch-screen to select language Displays languages’ characters on an internal VGA monitor Uses physical keys with tactile feedback PS/2 interface to host PC

4. Project-Specific Success Criteria An ability to display a languages’ characters as a keyboard layout on an LCD screen. An ability to change the language displayed on the keyboard by selecting a new language on a touch- screen menu. An ability to receive and decode a key press as a meaningful character. An ability to send and display a language’s characters on a host PC through a PS/2 interface. An ability to load languages from an SD card.

6. Component Selection Rationale Microcontroller - PIC32MX360F512LMicrocontroller - PIC32MX360F512L –85 GPIO pins, 4 SPI, 512K Flash –MIPS core –Development board available in lab Touch Screen – LCD-010Touch Screen – LCD-010 –Physical size –Touch screen and LCD all-in-one package –Good sample code available

7. Component Selection Rationale 1 Mbit SRAM – CY7C09099V-6AXC1 Mbit SRAM – CY7C09099V-6AXC –Dual port –Big enough for bitmap files –Fast enough for VGA video –Internal address burst counter Programmable Logic Devices – GAL26CV12BProgrammable Logic Devices – GAL26CV12B –Number of macrocells –Availability of parts/programmers –Fast enough for VGA video

8. Packaging Design

9. 2 PCBs (Motherboard and Keyboard) – –5 wire connector between them – –VGA connection from motherboard to monitor Keyboard sits directly on top of VGA monitor Keys are clear plastic pieces sitting on SMT pushbuttons Thickness of internal monitor determines thickness of overall package All contained in manufactured box (if available); else homemade balsa wood box
