The Braille Information Reader Device (BIRD) will be a braille-outputting e-book reader device. The device itself will be a small module that plugs into a commercially available braille display (the initial and probably only target will be the PACmate20 Braille Display), and accepts SD or MicroSD cards with files to read.
Prototype Stack
The stack of boards for the prototype BIRD will be:
- Adafruit Protoshield with MicroSD socket breakout and resistor voltage divider
- Circuits@Home USB Host Shield (modified with stack-through headers)
- Arduino Duemilanove
