[BRLTTY] Getting my braille driver for the FCHAD working.

[Dave Mielke]

It's an interesting idea. My initial guess is that it'd take quite some getting 
used to. For example, I (probably like most braille readers) read with my index 
fingers. Simply switching to my middle fingers (which I just tried) doesn't 
make reading very easy. I can do it, but I have to really slow down and think 
about it. I'm assuming this is because my brain has trained itself to do 
subconscious interpretation with index finger signals but not with signals from 
any other fingers.

Based on your description, it seems to me that the device would be fully 
rotated, depending on which hand the user is using. This'd mean that the sensor 
nearest the cell would always be the active one, and that the actual change is 
in which way the sensors are numbered. In other words, with ones left hand on 
the cell, sensor 1 would be nearest the cell, whereas with ones right hand on 
the cell, sensor 80 would be nearest the cell.

Perhaps two sensors, one above and one below the cell, would do the trick. Then 
the user would just have to tap the sensor above the cell, with his cell 
reading hand, and that'd signal to the firmware which way the device is 
oriented.
