Interfacing with a BCM2. BP2. 04. 22 Bluetooth HID Module Keyglove. Update 462. 01. Wayne and Layne has been made available here. Thanks, guys Remember this board is optimized for the Blue. Packet BP2. 04. 22 module, and the pair button doesnt work with other modules. Update 62. BP2. 04. IBM Model M keyboard to convert it from wired to wireless. This included a lot of custom circuit design work and firmware replacement, which may be useful to you depending on your own interests. Check out his detailed documentation here. The CE Compass WKB 1. Bluetooth Keyboard I ordered arrived in the mail a while back, and I took to testing and dismantling it immediately. Now, I decided to buy an actual device instead of just a Bluetooth module for two reasons first, and most importantly, the only source I know of for the HID profile module I was looking at has been out of stock for quite some time. There is currently no place Ive been able to find, even internationally, where you can buy a single HID enabled module. There are many places to buy SPP enabled modules, and in many cases these can be adapted to providing keyboard and mouse support. All they require is a driver on the host device to translate the serial data into input control signals. However, my goal is to have the Keyglove be detected natively as an input device, so that no special driver is required. The HID Bluetooth profile specification is basically just a hardware Bluetooth wrapper around the standard HID profile used with USB keyboards and mice, as far as I know, which makes it perfect.

The second reason is I bought one now is that with all of the progress Ive been making recently, I am very eager to get some kind of wireless communication developed and tested. Progress certainly does foster enthusiasm, which creates the desire for more progress. Its a wonderful upward emotional spiralas long as you keep making progress, anyway. The reason I decided on the CE Compass keyboard is that it has both mouse and keyboard control built into the same device. I was not able to determine via research online whether the Broadcom BCM2. Bluepacket BP2. 04. The info suggested that it did, but I couldnt find any definitive documentation saying so. I knew that the CE Compass device did support it though, whatever Bluetooth module it used. And now that its here, I am pleased to report that it does in fact use the BCM2. I can say with confidence that it does support the functionality I need. The keyboard interface inside is a standard 81. These come from the key contacts and go straight to the module. The mouse portion of the device also makes use of a Holtek BS8. B chip for XY control and capacitive vertical scrolling detection done via the blackwhite line visible on the top right corner of the keyboard. This chip appears to have traces to pins 7, 3.

SMD module from the main CE Compass board after disassembling the device. Of course, its hard enough to melt three or four pins simultaneously with a soldering iron, let alone 4. I eventually ended up using my pen knife on the soft solder and then pried the module off the main board. Again, as you might imagine, this resulted in a rather messy break not to mention a shallow stab wound, and it actually damaged the traces on the bottom of the module though I didnt realize that at first. I did finally get the module removed, and it looked pretty much like what the BP2. Blue. Packet markings or logos as far as I could tell To make a long story short, that module didnt work right at all, and I subsequently decided to try again with a different keyboard after obtaining a desktop hot air rework station. The new keyboard was the ITON PA BK0. Geeks. com, Buy. com, or Outlet. PC for 2. 0, or e. Bay. I chose this keyboard because I came across a Deal.

CE Compass device. However, it doesnt have any mouse functionality. I figured if the BT module is the same, it wouldnt really be a problem since Id be able to discover how to implement it by copying the circuit from the CE Compass keyboard or reading documentation. This keyboard comes in a no frills plain white box and includes only the keyboard, manual, and driver CD which was unnecessary for me. It has a distinctive rounded construction, and the back is made of classic fingerprint magnet shiny black plastic. The keys feel pretty good, and I believe if youre actually in the market for a regular mini Bluetooth keyboard, this is probably not a terrible option. I dont really know though. Bluetooth radio and typing some gibberish, the next thing I did was to pull the whole thing apart It doesnt have any screws for simple disassembly, but all you need to do is take a very small flat head screwdriver or a knife and pry open the side of the case anywhere you can manage. I found the easiest place to be right near the power switch on one side. Once you get it started, its just a matter of popping open the rest of the case all the way around. The main board, keypad, and casing all come apart without difficulty, leaving you with individual pieces as shown above. Apart from the fact that there is no built in mouse in this keyboard, I found it to be a much better investment all around for cannibalizing the Bluetooth module when compared with the CE Compass keyboard Its only 2. Its easier to take apart. The circuitry and build style is less complicated. It includes a 3. 10m. Ah lithium polymer battery instead of two AAs. The next order of business was to remove the module from the board. The hot air rework station had arrived by this time, so it was just a matter of reading the poorly translated manual for it and giving it my best shot. Id never used such a device beforeonly a soldering ironbut it proved to be pretty intuitive, and it worked beautifully. The basic concept is to keep hot air 4. SMD contact points so that they are all gradually heated to the point of melting the solder at the same time. Then you use pliers, an IC popper, a small knife, or other tool to simply lift the loosened module from the board. The cheap IC popper that came with the rework station was too large to fit under such a tightly mounted module, so I used my little trusty pen knifethis time for leverage though, not to try to cut through solder. It only takes a minute or less of applying heat, and the solder melts nicely. The only difficulty is to remove the module all at once more easily done with pliers than a small knife, since if youre not very careful, some of the solder can solidify again, leaving you with a partially detached module. This isnt an enormous problem since you can just reheat the solidified solder, but it is a bit of an annoyance if it happens. One person I talked to questioned whether using the rework station on a relatively large module with many more small SMD components on it created a problem with shifting those subcomponents around unintentionally. I also worried about this before I attempted it, but found that it really isnt an issue at all. Space. Navigator Driver Mouse Joystick Keyboard. Hi,Using my Space. Navigator in ALL my application and or game and still using it in 3. D app with original 3. Dx. Ware software. I dream of it, i hope in my socks for Christmas. And no luck. So, I write it. A driver for our Space. Navigator. Why a Driver and not a simple User Mode application Or using the 3. DConnexion SDK Some application or game dont accept hooking keyboard, or use Direct. X Input, so with a user mode app, Im not able to send information. With a driver, Space. Navigator don t emulate a keybmouseJoy, but IS a keyboard, IS a mouse and IS a Joystick. In a few word, and HID Device Human Interface Device has a HIDDescriptor telling OS Windows witch kind of device he is. This HIDDescriptor is in the firmware device and OS ask for it when initializing. Ok, with no driver installed, windows use the standard HID driver HIDClass. HIDDescriptor to it. The HIDClass driver read information from the device and sends it back to windows. If u installs a driver, u can send back a fake HIDDescriptor. In the same way, a HIDDescriptor can tell the OS that the device is a Multi device. The original HIDDescriptor from Space. Navigator is at 9. Joystick one. In fact, it s more than 9.

Pull up leave the task switch and go back to another layout. Left Arrow and Right ArrowKeyboard U can bind 5 key in one Bind, if u need more, add a second bind. Each bind could be a Key Press standart keyboard event. Key Hold the key is keep press until another bind tell to release. Key Release A repeat option is available, i. Sometimes press key is enough, if u keep down, but sometimes need to pressrelease to go on and the speed u do it. Ok, i create 3 bind on the rotation axe, 1 min 1. With this I have a sensitive control on the frame to frame movement It s an example. Or u can use it as Autofire in some games Apply Save ur Config and quit Layout Editor.

The Auto. Switch option is save when u change in the Edit Layout Screen, if u turn on off in the pop up menu, it will go back to the saved state next restart of the application. The driver load the default layout when it start, so u don t need to run exe if u don t want any autoswitch. U can change layout without using exe application. Pull up and turn left at end point max value the space navigator for more than 3 seconds and it will enter in Special mode. The Led flashing indicate this mode. Left Button go to default Layout. Right Button go to next Layout. Push down to leave Special mode. Know bugs Uninstall the driver, no problem with the application. In the device manager, when the uninstall procedure looks like freeze, u have to move something on the Space. Navigator to free a thread in the driver.
