Hey guys,
I am trying to build a buttonbox for Elite Dangerous.
Using the Arduino micro Pro board with pushbuttons and rotary encoders.
I connected all buttons and encoders. Uploaded the sketch.
And with every button I push or encoder I turn the 'TX' led lights up sending a character.
But the characters are not the ones I put in the matrix.
I get random characters instead of the ones I put in the sketch.
Can this be related to the keyboard.h file?
Here is the sketch I am trying to get working.
#include <Keypad.h>
#include <Keyboard.h>
#define ENABLE_PULLUPS
#define NUMROTARIES 4
#define NUMBUTTONS 25
#define NUMROWS 5
#define NUMCOLS 5
//define the symbols on the buttons of the keypads
char buttons[NUMROWS][NUMCOLS] = {
{'q','w','e','r','t'},
{'y','u','i','o','p'},
{'a','z','d','f','g'},
{'h','j','k','l','m'},
{'x','c','v','b','n'},
};
struct rotariesdef {
byte pin1;
byte pin2;
int ccwchar;
int cwchar;
volatile unsigned char state;æ³²ú®é塤©
};
rotariesdef rotaries[NUMROTARIES] {
{0,1,KEY_RIGHT_ARROW,KEY_LEFT_ARROW,0},
{2,3,KEY_DOWN_ARROW,KEY_UP_ARROW,0},
{4,5,KEY_PAGE_UP,KEY_PAGE_DOWN,0},
{6,7,KEY_HOME,KEY_END,0},
};
