[NFBCS] Refreshable braille displays

[John J. Boyer]

Hello Charles,

I have three Focus 40 Blue displays from Freedom Scientific. I am very satisfiedd with them. I have used them with Python. 
Spacing is easy to determine by counting the cursor-routing buttons or simply moving up and down and seeing if the start of material in adjacent lines is the same. 

Good luck in achieving Braille proficiency.
John

I am a braille novice, long story short since I had some vision I was told I didn’t need to learn it so all I have learned on my own is numbers letters and very basic symbols. I want to use the display for computer programming where spacing is very relevant, amongst using it for other general purpose tasks. I also hope that this will help me learn all of the characters and become far more proficient.
