Workshop Experiment

During the workshop in week 2, we were instructed to take apart a few Keyboards as a group, and as we took them apart, we still had to continue to use it as if it still a keyboard. We managed to do this by connecting a standard copper wire to the usb port, and as there is a central unit inside the Keyboard (that processes information as keys are pressed), all we simply did was place the copper wire onto this unit to see what characters we could come out with
I managed to get the following keys: 
B, C, 1, 2, 3, 8, +, =, \, 'Return', 'Space', and 'Backspace'

I also played about with the keyboard keys by placing them back into the keyboard frame, but purposefully trying to create certain words here are some images, see if you can guess the words displayed:
