2015-08-22 (Sa) Wrist Mounted Chording Keyboard

Programming was changed to use the HEX codes from Adafruit's EZ-Key tutorial instead of the source previously used which resulted in unreliable code. Every tested glyph and non-printing character was reviewed and revised if necessary. Other functions, like printing matching parens (), quotations marks "", or apostrophes '' but ending with the cursor between them was fixed to work with Bluetooth as well as wired.

Testing the wireless functions was done by connecting the keyboard with a USB cable to a laptop running codebender while simultaneously connected to a mobile phone. Text appeared on both screens at the same time. Case 5 is currently unused but prints some text. This text would appear instantly on the wired connection but was typed significantly slower over the wireless connection.
