Im wiring in 20 buttons around the LCD on my GP2X .
keys :
1. First will be a PEEK/POKE ,
2. a dictionary entry creator .
3 , 4 , 5 will launch those
dictionary entries .
It will work like a Forth Dictionary .
LCD will display boxes next to each key .
Icons / images / or text in that box will
change each time you hit that key .
You are 'drilling" down the " levels" of that key .
a main UP key will quckly return you to top of that key ,
if you are confused .
This speeds up learning /remembering ur own key assignments .
A key can launch anything , from a program to a tiny thread !
You can create programs in minutes , and debug by tracing
in place , no need to recompile .
You will never need a WERTY keyboard again .
I got this idea years ago when a DOS batch file author , assembled
some executable code from a .BAT file !
He created a very useful xxxxx.COM executable under DOS , from
a xxxx.BAT file ! Clever !!
You can avoid NASM and C++ to create the dictionary entries
that will create code at all levels ! You can program without C/C++ !!
If you wanted to , you could assemble code w/o an assembler !
The secret is to rip tiny code segments allready written , instead
of using a full blown assembler . Forth calls them Primatives .
GP2X has all the h/w needed to replace the desktop .
It will happen , because its easy .

BTW breakout board is not needed for USB hub , U can make everything yourself .
Im installing a better EXT connector .
