Aww, that's unfortunate.

DJ@ I planned on rejoining Omnimaga actively after I finished up everything with scouts.  Well there was some drama with an adult on the board, and not there is a big thing going on through the national council. :/  I have no idea when it'll all be sorted out.

The Axe Parser Project / Re: Bug Reports
« on: June 05, 2012, 09:42:16 am »
Short explanation:

This isn't the fault of Axe, this is a hardware limitation. To make them simpler/cheaper to manufacture, many keypads/keyboards detect key presses using a grid layout, which can result in phantom key presses if certain keys are pressed together. As an interesting coincidence, this is very much related to my recent How cheap is your keyboard? topic. :P


Long explanation:

Spoiler For Technical explanation:
In the keypad hardware, the keys are laid out in a grid of horizontal and vertical "wires" in which a keypress connects the wires intersecting at the key's location:

                                                            Key Code
               FE            FD            FB            F7            EF            DF            BF            7F            
BFGRAPHTRACEZOOMWINDOWY=2ndMODEDEL
GDFSTOLNLOGx?¹MATHALPHA
rEF0147,SINAPPSX,T,?,n
oF7.258)COSPRGMSTAT
uFB(-)369(TANVARS
pFDENTER+-*/^CLEAR
FEdownleftrightup


To detect a key, the user first tells the keypad driver that we're looking to retrieve the state of keys in a certain key group. A read from the keypad driver then returns an 8-bit number, with 1s representing locations where the key group wire is not connected to the key code wire (key not pressed), and 0s representing locations where they are connected (key is pressed). For instance, if you pressed TRACE, that would connect the BF key group with the FD key code wires, resulting in the FD key code bit reading as 0 when the BF group is polled:

                                                            Key Code
               1            0            1            1            1            1            1            1            
BFGRAPHTRACEZOOMWINDOWY=2ndMODEDEL
GSTOLNLOGx?¹MATHALPHA
r0147,SINAPPSX,T,?,n
o.258)COSPRGMSTAT
u(-)369(TANVARS
pENTER+-*/^CLEAR
downleftrightup


Now if you pressed a second key, let's say the down arrow key, this wouldn't affect reading the BF key group. But press the down arrow key and the left arrow key, and this happens:

                                                            Key Code
               0            0            1            1            1            1            1            1            
BFGRAPHTRACEZOOMWINDOWY=2ndMODEDEL
GSTOLNLOGx?¹MATHALPHA
r0147,SINAPPSX,T,?,n
o.258)COSPRGMSTAT
u(-)369(TANVARS
pENTER+-*/^CLEAR
downleftrightup


I have italicized the GRAPH key because it is now being detected as a phantom key press. Before pressing the left arrow key, pressing TRACE connects the BF key group to the FD key code. Pressing the down arrow key has no effect on polling the BF key group because it connects the FE key group to the FE key code, neither of which connect to the BF key group. But pressing the left arrow key acts as a link, connecting the key code of the TRACE key to the key group of the left arrow key, and resulting in the left arrow key's FE key code reading as pressed when polling the BF key group.

we need to get that saved somewhere

they did use to put a number of songs on packaging :P
