You will find a complete project for VisualStudio Express 2012 including these fonctions, with an additional example that maps the orientation of a Yocto-3D to arrow keys, to be used in a flash game for instance. min throttle, add extra steps to be sure ToInt32 ( value ) * throttleSteps / 1001 Static void YThrottleCallback ( YAnButton b, string value ) The current state is saved in a global variable named currBreaks: We enable breaks using Ctrl-B, and send B to toggle back off the breaks when they are set.
#KEYSTROKES FROM ANY APPLICATION CODE#
To keep the code simple and robust, we have implemented the logic using callbacks.Īs a first example, we map one input of the Yocto-Knob (which reports a value between ) to the breaks command of X-Plane flight simulator.
#KEYSTROKES FROM ANY APPLICATION SIMULATOR#
But to give you a start, here are two examples that can be used for the flight simulator deck.

Since this part depends very much on what you are trying to achieve, we won't write it for you. The only part of the code that needs to be written from scratch is the logic that links sensors to keystrokes to be sent.
#KEYSTROKES FROM ANY APPLICATION WINDOWS#
We will use Windows in this article, since this is still the most popular OS. Similarly, in order to use a rotating knob connected to a Yocto-Knob instead of up/down arrow keys, it is best to handle the min/max positions of the knob explicitly using specific keystrokes.Įmulating keystrokes is very OS-dependant. For instance, if you want to automatically type in the temperature measured by a Yocto-PT100 into a form, you should start with keys ensures that the temperature will be typed in the right field. The key to success is to use a reliable key sequence to send the information. The idea is simple: we start as a background task a tiny program that reads the Yoctopuce sensors, and depending on the measure (and on the context), sends keystrokes to the active application. If you are building a flight simulator deck or simply try to improve an old-fashioned data entry form interface, this is worth giving a look. But there is also a trick to use our sensors to interface existing applications for which you don't have the source code, by emulating keyboard input. NET Framework using C#.The best way to use our devices is to leverage our programming API, available for most programming languages.
#KEYSTROKES FROM ANY APPLICATION HOW TO#
This small sample application shows how to accomplish this emulation of sending keystrokes to applications using Microsoft.
