The idea for a 1-key keyboard comes from the need as an interaction designer to make “cheap, quick and dirty prototypes.” When creating a quick screen-based demo in e.g. Adobe Flash, a common way of quickly prototyping physical actions is to assign actions to certain key presses on a keyboard.

A GLCD emulator - takes commands for common GLCD and places output to the TV.

Dallas Semiconductor (Maxim) produces a family of devices that are controlled through a proprietary 1-wire interface. On a 1-wire network, a single "master" device communicates with one or more 1-wire "slave" devices over a single data line, which can also be used to provide power to the slave devices. How to connect such devices to Arduino?
