boogieoompa Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I am trying to interface a foreign keyboard/joystick device into my computer. Each button sends a different function the PC (via USB), many are easy to tell such as a, up, page down but some of the buttons apparantly do nothing. Is there a way of recording the input of these functions? I do not know how to record (or document for that matter) non standard characters. Any help would be appreciated.

Can't you work with it as binary bytes? >_< Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

boogieoompa Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 A medical program, but before I can map an alias i have to be able to identify all of the functions that it is sending and currently I can only identify the tradional characters. How does recording an input in bytes work? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been discussed before, but I'm not an expert myself. >_< Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
