Hi,
I want to use the touch-sensitive pad controller on my IMON remote as keyboard navigation. It's an "IMON Knob" - a volume knob/IR receiver + IMON PAD.
There's supposed to be a pad2keys patch that's included in Mythbuntu 9.04, which translates strings of "mousey" commands to distinct Up/Down/Left/Right. I can't get it to work.
lircd.conf.imon-knob has CursorUp etc bindings e.g.
CursorDown 0x6882A1B7
I added them to my mythtv lircrc thingy:
begin
remote = IMON_KNOB
prog = mythtv
button = CursorDown
config = Down
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
It seems to work at a very light pressure. Press harder - nothing. It's kinda useless.
Running mode2 gives me different codes for different pressures. Now, the pad2keys patch is supposed to stop that, right? It should translate a string of different pressure codes to the single code, to be interpreted as a key press.
I get the feeling that the pad2keys patch is for different IMON PAD products, and doesn't work for the IMON Knob.
It seems like the only option I have is to add bindings for each pressure value, which would be difficult and error-prone.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Thanks.
