Hello helpful peeps
I'm having a problem getting the sendk command to work. I'm not particularly experienced with arduino or programming so any light-shedding would be really appreciated!
Scenario:
Arduino sends serial commands over usb to gobetwino.
Gobetwino receives sprid commands, successfully launches media files for playback in associated media players. (Win amp for wav and mp3, vlc for mp4 and mov )
Gobetwino gives process id
Arduino sends sendk commands to gobetwino using returned process id. (Ctrl+q for 'quit' assigned as shortcut in both programs, written as ' pid&^q' in sendk command string)
Gobetwino receives sendk command. Returns 'command parsed ok'
executing commamd: sendk
then problems begin:
Gobetwino then returns
' sending keys to process ... failed
No process is associated with this object.'
for win amp processes but returns a 'succeeded' message for vlc processes. However vlc does not respond anyway.
Both vlc and win amp respond to physical key presses however.
This was working fine for vlc when testing on my win 7 64 laptop.
It is not working on the desktop win 7 32 system used in the project.
Using arduino mega 2560 and arduino ide latest version.
Have searched forum but can't find help.
Any ideas?
PS APOLOGIES for messy post - on my mobile.
