Then there shouldn't be any problem: BrlAPI does not treat dot patterns
in any particular case, it's just an 8bit value. You could run brltty in
debug mode to get more debug output.

You said your device was a Handytech Braille Star 40. Perhaps there are
some special things there? Do these dot presses work when using brltty
alone without a BrlAPI client?

Ok. It was just for the connection issue but you said you solved it.
Just curious: was just providing the .h files and the .def file fine
enough for you to use the brlapi library?  Would you suggest anything
more?
