Well, I hate to mention it, but I recently got a Vortex Race 3 Keyboard and I finally tested out sending the Teletype preprogrammed macros or programmed commands and it doesn’t seem to work.
I’ve updated to the latest firmware, “3.0 KBD Fix”. And when I type, It doesn’t drop any keys. But when I attempt to use the feature of sending key commands via the programming layers the text appears to drop a ton of letters.
For example I programmed the keyboard to write “charlie” when I press the Q key. It works every time on the laptop.
On the Teletype, the first time it writes…
CRE
the next time,
HRE
again,
AI
one more time,
CI
So, it appears to be dropping a lot of letters for some reason. I did test out a time delay function on the keyboard. Where it will type the macros out much slower, with a half second between the letters. But it still drops the keys. So I dont think it must be a refresh rate or scanning rate that is the issue.
Would anyone here have any ideas what might be happening?
I think I remember seeing Scanner Darkly mentioning somewhere about how keyboard protocol is a bit different and odd, so I think this could be one of those oddities.
But any help is much appreciated! I would love to be able to get this working.
Thanks!
