Hi all,

is there anyone who can tell me how to get into the LK8000 menu using the keyboard in order to e.g. change the MC setting?

Once when I'm in the main menu (select Menu by touch) I'm able to navigate with the arrow keys but unfortunately the corresponding button (MC, +0.5, OK) cannot be confirmed neither using the LEFT-SHIFT key nor the 'Enter' key that allows to confirm a 'button' in the Airport screen (Goto, Set Alternate, Details, Task, ....)

As I do not use a real keyboard but generate the 'keys' by an arduino sketch, even a specific code to send is of interest.

Any hint is welcome.

Claus

Hi Brunoti,

Is there any chance of getting the Bottom Menu Forward/Back and Cycle MultiMaps added to the Custom Commands? I think that might make all the important commands available to the keyboard in one way or another I think.

I have updated to the PC version 7.3.13 from Github.

I see the version 7.3.12 had a line:-
. Improve keyboard navigation
but I cannot figure out what the changes were - perhaps only to the Android version???

See another thread on using LK8000 within Virtual Reality with Condor 2.

Many thanks,

right, i see 2 problem with keyboard1/2/3/A/B/C
- keycode are hardcoded for WinCE platform, but linux , android, and windows don't use the same code for same key of same keyboard...
- they have priority over menu handling and that's an error (menu should have priori if it is visible )

the second is simple to fix, i will do it.
unfortuantly it's not so simple for the first...

i've look into the ASP dialog navigation and i've can't reproduce the problem, nor on Linux nor on windows ... i need more info ( version, platform; screen orient, airspaces files ... )

I've started to work on this point, i hope it should work soon ...

Bruno,

thanks for replying and taking my a step forward.

Hardware keyboard is currently only suported on Linux and Windows target

in theory keyboard can work on android but never tested, so reality can different from theory.

start point is to modify "HasKeyboard()" to detect connected keyboard on android device :
https://github.com/LK8000/LK8000/blob/4636d74e993134628decd5d732fc3bdf066d259c/Common/Header/Asset.hpp#L135

Bonjour Bruno,

I immediately tried the commands you sent.
Environment as follows:
7.2.1 running on Android device
'keyboard 2' configured in LK as device
USB OTG plugged in
PC keyboard connected
JavaScript embedded in HTML page to check keyboard hits

F1 is recognised by JavaScript but not by LK


Any idea what I did not consider / did wrong?

for device with keyboard :
F1 : show/hide menu
CANCEL : Hide Menu
UP/DOWN/UP/RIGHT : select menu button
RETURN : validate selected menu button
