    somerandom216: Backspace may be difficult, since the text can only move upwards, not back down. However, the next version will select the output position using binary, so it will eventually be possible to move the output position left/right and then overwrite existing characters. Wifi colour is changed by manual heating/cooling. See wiki page for wifi.

    The keyboard now uses wifi. Further use of wifi in progress. AWhiteGuy: I did think about filling in the characters when I first made it. However, I couldn't find a combination of materials that was sufficiently readable, all sparkable, and didn't take too long between sparks. Suggestions for which materials to use welcome. somerandom216: It already has a space bar - third row down, second from right (although this doesn't yet display faster than a normal character). It can currently handle 63 characters in total (since it uses 6 bits), so not quite room for all of them. I might add some more symbols after the rest of the wifi.

    You should fill in the characters with some kind of metal, and I agree with the others, you should try adding wifi.
