After a discussion on the forum I have reintroduced something that was briefly a part of the matrix_kb HAL component: the option to generate system keystrokes in the same way as a standard keyboard does.
This currently only really works with the key-up and key-down scancodes generated either by matrix_kb or the mesa smart-serial driver. (At the moment I think this means the 7i73) I could potentially add the capability to toggle conventional HAL pins to have the same effect. But that would require me working out why I can't get "personality" to work with the component. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/andypugh/sendkeys/src/hal/user_comps/sendkeys.comp I am not 100% sure that it will compile without the linux headers. Or, for that matter, out of tree. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
