I understood concept driver and have understood what you have said, repeatedly. I suggested what would aid the community if you wanted to continue on with this since you seemed unknowing of where to get started with a 'final' product. I'm quite well aware of what to do with this kind of code. I've ...

Well if you want my input, the best way to do it, I think would be to clean up, document it better, maybe even make a 'tutorial' program for coding other model keyboards. Then make it a header file for other programs to include. This way, whenever the program needs the keyboard, it would have been ...

I got my IR keyboard. PockeTop MP-01183US-468. It works, but buggy. Numbers don't work, caps lock types in the punctuation marks(as opposed to making capital letters). Backspace sends the cursor all over the screen. Well at least we can chalk up another semi-working Model number to the list. There ...

I should also mention that they code provided is useless in and of itself. It isn't going to get you typing anywhere else but within that one program. Any other homebrew will have to incorporate this interface/driver for a keyboard to be used within those programs as well. So don't go out buying the...

I've had several requests regarding what keyboard, what model, etc. so they can buy one. Honestly, I can't help you much here. The Micro Innovations/PockeTop keyboard were sold under at least those two names, I seem to remember at least one other brand name that looked pretty much like the MI/PT key...

Re: IRDA keyboard driver concept w/source

Since you have the SDK installed, when you do a "make kxploit", you can see that it just uses the pbp-packer and pbp-unpacker (or very similiar names in the SDK bin). The magic lies in those tools. Thanks. I'll have to check them both out. I will probably check this out, and if you are go...

If I may ask, what is the model number on the keyboard you wrote the code for. I am looking for one online and do not see one called "Pocket Top". http://www.pocketop.net/ . I have one for the Compaq Ipaq 3800 series. Also see http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tips/pocketop.htm . I think I ...

IRDA keyboard driver concept w/source

I've spent a bit of time this afternoon knocking together a concept IRDA keyboard driver for the PSP. I have compiled it for V1.5, and the binaries and source are included. It's my first PSP project. Yes, it works. As it stands, it will only work with a PocketTop (Micro Innovations) IRDA PDA keyboar...

it should be noted that those pictures are basically "artists conception"'s and should not be viewed as the actual product... Yep - I've read the disclaimers. Still waiting to see what it really looks like, and the PRICE. Not too interested if it's $100USD. I've also seen pics of the &quo...

A USB keyboard would be a great idea as well. I'm sure we've all seen the pics of the keyboard that is supposed to be coming out in the latter part of August (a UK company, if memory serves). And it appears to attach to the "voltage" connectors. Question is: how much is this thing going to...

The hardest part would be reading upside down, since the IRDA port on the PSP is on top :p :D Similar to the PDA problem - but it seems you could get one of the stands for the PSP, then just use a mirror attached to the stand to get the keyboard IR signals to the port. The keyboard I have had a sta...

IRDA keyboard drivers?

With the advent of the last couple of IRDA testbed programs, has anyone given consideration to an IRDA keyboard driver? Some of these (for PDAs) are relatively inexpensive (some go for bargain prices since they are for older PDA models), and would certainly be somewhat portable. I have an older IRDA...
