Generic HID

[phvrc2nt]

Hi everyone.
I basically am very lost.

I cant seem to find a plug-in for the cheap remote i purchased here in manila.

I am sure everyone's busy configuring their system, but can someone please guide me through? Please be patient... Noob on the loose...

I understand a little bit of everything but in general, im still new here so please be a little less harsh.

How do i make eventghost detect my IR?

Needing all the help this time.
Thanks!

It probably behaves like a MCE Remote. Have tried in this direction?

i already tried configuring it as mce remote. i can see the dongle flashing red lights whenever i press anything on the remote but eventghost doesnt seem to detect any keypress since the log (left panel) stays blank.

Hi.

I am using latest Eventghost on WinXP SP2.

I have bought a AirClick usb remote:
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/airclickusb/

from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Griffin-AIRCLICK-US ... 56378f756e

I tried geting it to work with this plugin but cant sem to get it working.

If i use "trugger enduring events for buttons i dont get anything in eventghost. If i use "Use raw data as event names for multiple same devices" each push to a switch generates lots of events.

Example the play buton gives 12x "HID.0003020001FA000000" and 44x "HID.0003020000FB000000". And even more if i keep it down for a long time.

Is there a way to only get one? If i map the event to a function it gets done 12times.

This is what hapens when i press play for half a secound.

Hope there is someone that knows.

Thanks in advance.

Is there way to map raw event names to some human-readable names?
I tried "eventRemap = eg.result.Map" but it does not work with HID plugin.

@Jostein & johndoe
I guess someone has to write a custom plugin for the device to get proper events.
In the case of john doe's this is pretty easy (look at the GameVoice-PlugIn).

Hi Guys there's a way to add an usb DVB-t with Ir receiver in the list that I see in the HID Plugin? However i need a ir port... I've one on this DVB-T and another on my canon printer... Now for canon printer i see it on HID plugin list and I can add it but I don't have a remote control so do you know if i can use it or no? And then for DVB-T usb I've the remote control but i don't see it on HID plugin... Do you know if there's a way to add it on my list? Thank you!! Bye bye

[Bartman]

Are you sure it is a HID device?

[BigBlack]

I think yes... when i add plugin than click to Generic HID I see it in this menu for canon printer.... instead for usb i've tryed all category but no one see it... When i was under windows vista I was using uice and i use that with hid.... However how can i found if it is HID or another? There's a way? thank you

Look in the device manager when you plug in or out the device.

@sabron01
Did you try the raw data format option?

[sabron01]

thanks bartman
i didn't use this option on the HID plgin ,i will try it.
i think that it was a material problem with my ir usb receiver,
so is there other type of IR usb remote that work perfectly with my skystar2 card dvb.

Interesting situation I came across recently:

Was trying to configure a ShuttleXpress http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/22 for use with eventghost. and HID plugin.
Two issues came up, both with the jog/dial.
1- Each step of the jog/dial is counted as a seprate event, eg spinning right:
Shuttle.Value.1 27
Shuttle.Value.1 28
Shuttle.Value.1 29
Shuttle.Value.1 30
Shuttle.Value.1 31
Shuttle.Value.1 32
Shuttle.Value.1 33
Shuttle.Value.1 34
Shuttle.Value.1 35
Shuttle.Value.1 36
Shuttle.Value.1 37
Shuttle.Value.1 38
Shuttle.Value.1 39
Shuttle.Value.1 40
then spinning left, same numebrs are conted down:
Shuttle.Value.1 39
Shuttle.Value.1 38
Shuttle.Value.1 37
Shuttle.Value.1 36
Shuttle.Value.1 35
Shuttle.Value.1 34
Shuttle.Value.1 33
Shuttle.Value.1 32
Shuttle.Value.1 31
Shuttle.Value.1 30
Shuttle.Value.1 29
Shuttle.Value.1 28
Shuttle.Value.1 27
Shuttle.Value.1 26
SO how can we assign something to the rotation of the jog given this behaviour?

2- Second issue: even the above values when dragged dropped into macros, are useless, since in the macro side, EG only recognises them as Shuttle.Value.1, so ALL the values trigeer the same event. Is there a script or somethign that reads the second part of the input?

[Bartman]

The first issue is just what the device sends. For non generic behaviour someone has to write a plugin for the special behaviour.
The second part is the current value as the payload. You can access it with eg.event.payload in a script.

[farbox]

Thanks for your reply!
Since I am more than clueless when it comes to scripting, would you be kind enough show me the script?
I want to increase winamp volume (using the winamp plugin) by spinning right, and decrease by spinning left. Can one do a script that looks at the payload increasing or decreasing, instead of using the actual value (since when you go up-then down, the values are repeated (check my example)?
I would use the dial for other functions, but if I see how you do the script I am sure i can substitute those values pretty easily.
BTW, I am really liking using this device. The original software is ok, but can only sends keystrokes, thats why I am using it with EG (which I love!)!
