 Unless you want to rewright some of the code (which you are more than welcome to do) you are restrictied to these key codes.  They are the usb keyboard key codes, the codes for the spiffchorder mode manipulation and some special codes that are translated by the program into a sequence of usb key codes.  There are a few kinds of lines in keycodes.h, any section beginning with slash asterik ''/*'' is a comment section up through the ''*/''.  Anything following 2 slashes ''%%//%%'' is a comment from there through the end of that line.  Other than comments, there are several types of lines you need to know about: Unless you want to rewright some of the code (which you are more than welcome to do) you are restrictied to these key codes.  They are the usb keyboard key codes, the codes for the spiffchorder mode manipulation and some special codes that are translated by the program into a sequence of usb key codes.  There are a few kinds of lines in keycodes.h, any section beginning with slash asterik ''/*'' is a comment section up through the ''*/''.  Anything following 2 slashes ''%%//%%'' is a comment from there through the end of that line.  Other than comments, there are several types of lines you need to know about:

 +For compiling the SpiffChorder firmware under Microsoft Windows, the easiest solution is to use [[http://winavr.sourceforge.net/|WinAVR]]. This package contains the avr-gcc tool-chain, avr-libc and some other utilities, including the avrdude programming software and Programmers Notepad, all compiled into a single Windows installation package.
 +
 +The majority of the development on the SpiffChorder was done with WinAVR, and using the Programmers Notepad editor. It worked for me, so it should work for you as well (provided you have a Windows installation).
