I tried all numbers from 0 to 7, all the other numbers give, surprisingly, "Power Button ready" and otherwise the same results.

Hi Manuel,

You're welcome and I think you are close to success :-) "Sleep Button ready" means ChucK succeeds to open a device. But it don't looks like to be the right one.

On my side I tested your code replacing 5 by 0 in the line:
if(!hid.openKeyboard(0)) me.exit();

It works for me. Can you try the same thing? Maybe argument of openKeyboard is not related to the event number in your system.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot Julien,

I'm still trying to set up the keyboard events. I found /dev/input/by-path/, which contains symlinks to /dev/input with sensible names. I guess this is what you meant. One of them is called "platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd", I assume that is the keyboard. It links to /dev/input/event5, so I granted access rights to the device to everyone and wrote the following little script:

Hid hid;
HidMsg msg;
if(!hid.openKeyboard(5)) me.exit();
<<< hid.name(), "ready">>>;
while(true)
{
  hid => now;
  <<< "received event" >>>;
  while(hid.recv(msg))
  {
    <<< msg.ascii, " was used" >>>;
  }
}

The output of it is, surprisingly, "Sleep Button ready", and it never comes to the point of "received event". Any ideas?

Best, Manuel

Hi Manuel and Moisés,

Sorry for confusion I checked my code and I use Hid event not KBHit.

I work on linux too (Debian). And I have to modify a little my linux config to use KeyBoard in Chuck.

On linux distrubutions I tried, Chuck didn't receives Kb event by default. But fortunately there is a work around.

I am not on my linux PC now  so maybe the following is not exactly right:

Go to directory /dev/input and find which event corresponds to your keyboard (there is a directory with links name of
