Title: Realforce 23U DIP switches
Post by: metalliqaz on Tue, 19 November 2013, 23:56:59

Calling owners of a Realforce 23U number pad...

I'm trying to replicate the behavior of one of the DIP switches on the 23U: the switch that unlinks the NumLock from other attached pads.  I'm pretty sure I know how this is done, but I want to get some data.

Can anyone hook their 23U up to Aqua key test and report the scancodes that are sent for each of these four situations?

DIP off, NumLock off, press Num_1
DIP off, NumLock on, press Num_1
DIP on, NumLock off, press Num_1
DIP on, NumLock on, press Num_1

Thanks!

DIP off, NumLock off, press Num_1 - 35 (0x23) E (End button on the keyboard)
DIP off, NumLock on, press Num_1 - 97 (0x61)    (Numpad1)
DIP on, NumLock off, press Num_1 - 35 (0x23)    (shows up as Numpad1, but still performs End function)
DIP on, NumLock on, press Num_1 - 97 (0x61)    (Numpad1)

When the DIP is off, pressing the NumLock key doesn't register anything in Aquakeytest (the LED stays lit the entire though time, even though it changes on and off on the physical numpad). When it's on, it does.

Very interesting, thanks.  I will have to reconsider my approach in the firmware...
