Total Newbie- event ghost and HID device

Post by swamprat96 »

I've spent some time tring to work out how to use this program. I have a generic HID remote and have successfully installed the plug in- and the remote registers button presses in the log file. But I don't understand how to log macros to a button press. Just looking for a pointer to get started= eg

I have a key that sends CTRL+ALT+A and I'd like to assign this to open a program. But I can't work out how to do it

I'm using Mediaportal so I'm going to use this to configure some special keys. The generic keys work fine

Thanks

Tony

Have you looked at the short manual? Especially the last section Assigning Events to Macros.

I have read the short manual- and most of the other documentation. I've made a macro that works too. What I'm obviously missing is how to assign that macro to the button.

But now you've pointed me again to that section I think I get it. However not all the buttons on the remote register on Event Ghost. Not sure how I get around that.

EDIT: had to enable keyboard plugin as well. Now I understand how this thing works
