Belkin F8U1500

[superfirefox]

I have got problems with the Belkin keyboard..I have seen a photo on the net where somebody was using it with the psp..and I thought it was fully compatible. I bought it from Usa..arrived with fedex..I turned my Ta 82 to custom firmware (with a lot of fear), then I installed pikey...but it does not work.

I have read also that for Belkin it's required an "update" keymap....what does it mean?
it's a keymap file? I just need to copy it on the directory..or what?


Thank You for this project..it's amazing!

Posted on: June 28, 2007, 02:32:22 AMCan a user build his keymap? ...how exactly?
On the Belkin Keyboard I have got a "Fn" function too, like on notebook keyboards...
how it's possibile to insert this Fn in the keymap file?

Thnx a lot.

Did you actually enable the piKey Drivers? They are automatically installed when you run the installer, but not enabled. Also, the belkin keyboard requires it to be run as the Targus keyboard with a homemade (yes it is possible to make your own) ctrlmap.txt and keyboard layout.

Actually there may be a layout now that I think about it. Take a look through the config file and try the logical ones. Otherwise try the Targus config with custom layout files.

the   pkey  is enabled  I use the pda applikation,but I will try..there is also another guy...with the same problem...see that diskussion
Posted on: July 01, 2007, 11:17:32 PMI use PDA application and the Pikey sample for testing.

I have setted to Targus keyboard and I got, if I press

UP -> 66
DOWN-> 50
LEFT-> 34
RIGHT->55

but the values change..sometimes it says "****" and changes value...what a mess..ugh!

Hmm.. my Sprint SPUKB0001 looks just like the Belkin.  This was under $20 when I bought it a couple years ago.  Perhaps there is some surplus out there that can be had.

Output is in the form .  The first two at keypress, the second 2 on release.  This is different from the Belkin which is in the form (per Dr. Veg).

The following list obtained using IrDA Monitor 1.0 from Dr. Vegetable....

key scan_codes
0   23 30 B0 B0
1   A3 31 B1 B1
2   A3 32 B2 B2
3   23 33 B3 B3
4   A3 34 B4 B4
5   23 35 B5 B5
6   23 36 B6 B6
7   A3 37 B5 B7
8   B3 38 B8 B8
9   33 39 B9 B9
a   43 41 C1 C1
b   43 42 C2 C2
c   C3 43 C3 C3
d   43 44 C4 C4
e   C3 45 C5 C5
f    C3 46 C6 C6
g   43 47 C7 C7
h   53 48 C8 C8

You might notice that the numbers match ASCII exactly, the alphas match their upper case equivalents, and others like (,) code to their upper case equivalents (<).

Would someone be willing to add a new entry for this keyboard? The handler function can easily be cobbled together from current algorythms.

I'll provide the keymap, if someone is willing to code the rest, or I will just need to get the SDK installed and do it myself....

Thx,

Craig

...mmm...I have decided to give a 10€ donation if my Belkin will work.
I have bought the belkin for nearly 40 euro (and something more)...in the hope that it will work (I have read that in the first pikey list was supported). But at the moment I have got a keyboard that I cannot use cause there are the missing parts for the driver.
...Unluckily I am just a student, so 10€ is what I can spend more for my psp Keyboard, but if this should give a "thrill" to develop further, I would make it immediatly.

I am sure Fanjita would love to add support for that IR keyboard if there are a lot of people interested... the only problem is that in order to do so, he would probably need an actual keyboard for testing purposes. Obviously you cannot expect he is not going to buy a new keyboard just to provide support for it when he already owns a Targus which works pretty well at the moment. Several options here:

• Either you donate a keyboard so he can use it,
• Or you lend your own keyboard for a short period of time. You can have it back once he has finished.
• Or you convince another developer to provide support for the keyboard and you get this developer to contact Fanjita
  [li]Or you learn to code and you develop the support yourself and contact Fanjita to include it in future versions.
  

If you would really want to get that keyboard supported I think those are the only options. Feel free to send a PM to Fanjita in order to discuss the matter further.

I'm willing to lend my Belkin F8U1500 keyboard to Fanjita. I will contact him soon.  

[jokerace42]

I am willing to help you develop the driver if you do the legwork.  I don't need your keyboard since it appears to be the same hardware as the Belkin.  See Sprint PCS Keyboard topic for picture.

As I previously posted, you need to capture the output of each key. Get the app to do this here: http://www.drvegetable.com/SonyPSP/IRDAmon.zip

Post a link to the list and I will update the keymap for you.

You should see something like this, I believe:

C0 keycode keycode|80 C1.  The driver only cares for the 2 bytes in the middle.

How does that sound?

..and make sure you still toss Fanjita some funny money!

excuse my ignorance...
The app how does it work?
Should I upload it on my psp?
[]
or..it's a linux application (that must be compiled..huh?) ..so I don't need the psp just a pc with ir port?


btw thnx for help
 




5 minutes later..


...ouch..now I understand..It must be compiled ON THE psp...
.....mmm...but how?

[jokerace42]

There is already a pre compiled eboot.  Just make a new directory in your game150 folder and copy the eboot into it.  It will show up in your game menu.  Run it and copy down the data from each key you press.

Then we can build a proper keymap from that...

Ok..I missed the dir ceation..hehhe.

IT WORKS!

unfortunately I did not sleep for nearly 26 hours (I had to study ...)..

so I made only a part of the work...

Okay that's all...

[jokerace42]

Check 4 again.  It appears to be a typo.

Based on the B4s, I would expect 34 (vs A3), as 34 | 80 = B4.

I don't have much time these days, so don't expect this anytime soon, but I will get to it.

[superfirefox]

okay!

[PSPdemon]

I too wish to help in any way i can, as i would really like to get this keyboard to work ( i have the same one myself )

if there is any way i can help, please do tell

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

[nosenose]

HI!;

PSPdemon i think taht you can do the something that are doing superfirefox to compare the result and sliminate possible errors.
