Winamp LCD Display plug-in / Discussion / Help: Keypad Interface with Matrix Orbital LCD

Nobody/Anonymous - 2003-08-21

The output to the display works great, but i am unable use the keypad interface on the LCD to control the menu, winamp etc.

I have an MO LK404 Display (40chars x 4 lines) with a 55 key input matrix. When a key on the display is pressed within a hyperterminal session, the keycode is shown immediatley on the screen (it is 1 character with no line feeds or EOL. ie "a")

I have tried many different options and configurations in the input section of the plugin (versions 0.5 through to 0.6a) but to no avail.

If anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong or what i haven't done, it would be greatly appreciated!

Dion.
P.S. Great plugin!! It rulez!

  the Matrix Orbital keypad is not supported but 'might' work. The problem is that I don't have a MO keypad to test the plugin with :(
  
  Priorities after 0.6.4:
  - parallel input
  - serial input (maybe direct button support and MO keypads)

  Has this issue progressed any further recently?
  
  I am working to bring LCDisplay up on a Matrix Orbital GLK12232-25-SM (Serial Graphics 122x32). Among other features, it has a matrixed keypad input that becomes ASCII characters on the serial line.
  
  I may seem a little dense, but I do not understand how serial configuration works on the INPUT configuration page. As a default, there are 1_repeat, 7_down, etc., implemented to do various features The GLK display can send, for example, an ASCII 0x54 (upper case T, single character). How do I tell LCDisplay to execute a WinAMP Play/Pause when it sees that character on the serial line?
  
  I will appreciate any assistance you can provide.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Jack

  Looking through the source code the reason it doesn't work is beacuse there is a bug.
  
  The MO keypad sends one character, say 'F', however the source code checks to see if the start/end character has been entered on the setup panel, and uses them regardless. So you can never have a single character keypress.
  
  I made some changes to the code at home to check my theory and now I have a plugin that drives the MO keypad :-)
