Using EG to emulate a keyboard

[jcmeyer5]

Hello... new to EG, so bear with me. I want to create a virtual keyboard that will work over a network connection (TCP/IP). I havent the slightest clue where to start. I was going to use MCE Controller, but it is slow for some reason... time between keystrokes is 25 seconds or so.

So... if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be much appreciative. Thanks!

Really not clear what you are trying to do. Draw a keyboard? Draw a touchscreen keyboard? Also anything that takes 25 seconds or so between events sounds broken.

Hi -

I am using the broadcaster plugin, some python scripts for arrow/navigation, & window: emulate keystroke.

A Crestron processor broadcasts UDP text strings which are captured by EG to trigger keystrokes. The python is for press and hold/repeat key functions.

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to do the same thing, send UDP from a Crestron processor to the broadcaster plugin. I'm not getting any recognition on the EG log when I send basic text strings. Do I need to send something special from the Serial I/O for EG to recognize it?

Thank you.
