Hi,

 

I'm using one of these: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67&products_id=180 the XD1030 detects the device quite happily but as it is a "joystick" the unit isn't setup to read it.

Is it possible to utilize such a device with the BrightSign? To emulate a mouse input function and the 32 button inputs?

Thanks,

    It looks like it behaves like a standard HID device (XD says so, and the manufacturers page), so it should work. Maybe you just need to configure the device with the provided Encoder Configuration Software?

    I've seen buttons on speakers work properly. Do you have a log of when you try to actually use the usb stick, to see what output is in the log? If you can forward a full log, I'll forward it to our dvelopers to review. You can try setting up some keyboard events, and see if the buttons on the stick re seen as keyboard presses. Is there a carriage return sent with the button presses on the joystick?

    The log doesn't change as I modify the inputs into the unit - close/open the contacts. I'm not sure if there is a carriage return. Using a program called HIDwrite I can see the raw output of the device on a windows computer but I haven't had any luck with either the USB/keyboard input.

    Do you have a parrot script for USB inputs - prints to screen on inputs?

    We have a project that needs 20+ inputs, we do have other choices for input - we just happened to have this on the bench
