I don't know exactly what you're trying to do, but it might just be easier to use [key], [keyup] and [keyname].
But if you do want to use [hid], once you have the device open you have to send a [1( to start polling. You might want to just hook a [print] object to the output to see what kind of info is coming out, and then [route] the messages accordingly. andy On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 12:22 PM, marius schebella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > you can use only [hid] and send > [open 0( > message before you poll then a > [1( > message to start polling. device 0 is the keyboard on osx (at least I > think this is always the case, not sure, you can use "print" to get a > list of devices.) > then go with route and select, bla bla. > there seems to be a printout bug, because I get a mass of printout to > the console.
