[quoted lines by Cheryl Homiak on 2013/01/04 at 14:37 -0600] >Will this work with the bn driver or the hw driver?
The bn driver should be used for any BrailleNote model. The hw driver is for the Brailliant bi series. >Will it work with usb to serial and/or usb? I'm thinking it would be usb to >serial. The bn driver currently only supports serial. you can use a USB to serial adapter, of course, but you still need to tell brltty to use serial I/O. >Do I use braille terminal or remote synthesizer? I'm thinking it would be >remote synthesizer but on the braille note it says "for screenreaders" at the >braille terminal menu item. Use Braille Terminal. Remote Synthesizer is for using the BrailleNote as a speech device. >I have a serial cable with female connectors at both ends and the same usb to >serial converter I've used with my braillelites. Is this correct? A serial cable which has a female connector at both ends implies that it's a cross-over (or null-modem) cable, but that's not necessarily true. Do you know which type of serial cable it is? I don't recall what kind of connector is on the BrailleNote itself. Does its documentation specify what kind of serial cable should be used? >Is there something else I need to do, beyond the questions I've asked, to get >this working. I'm using it with my Mac in terminal with screen. I sort of >thought this would just "plug and play" so to speak but I think I was wrong! There's another possible complication. There's a new KeySoft release which brltty doesn't yet support. It could, of course, but it doesn't because I haven't yet had access to a device which is running the new KeySoft protocol. Which release of KeySoft is on your BrailleNote? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
