Re: [directory-discuss] Keyglove suitable for FSD?

[David Seaward]

I've gone ahead an submitted Keyglove Software Kit at
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Keyglove_Software_Kit - includes
reference to the Arduino code and Python interface library since
they're all in the same repo. Please feel free to leave feedback there
or here :)
