There was some concrete reason why I stopped, but I can't remember it now. Maybe the BCM2040 chip expects to talk directly to a standard keyboard matrix, whereas the twiddler obviously has a very different layout? I can't remember for sure. Still, even if that was the reason, it wouldn't be hard to add in some glue layer to covert between the two. It'd maybe be easiest to build a generic PS/2-keyboard-in, bluetooth-out box, and plug the twiddler into that? No, I didn’t pursue that idea much further.

Did you do anything with this idea? I'm also trying to create a bluetooth version of the twiddler, but don't know where to start... Sorry for this off-topic comment, but i couldn't find your email address, and comments on the twiddler blog are closed. Hi Andrew,
