[BRLTTY] Getting to know BRLTTY

[Cearbhal O'Meadhra]

Dave,

This is very useful, thanks.

The BRLTTY.conf file does already have the   
braille-parameters bl:KbEmu set to "yes".

As you say, I will need to dig more into NVDA to see if it will take input
from the braille Lite 2000. The question is whether the braille Lite can
send codes when it is in Speech box mode. It certainly can send text, etc.
when in serial mode and connected to Terraterminal.

On that point: Is there a terminal mode in windows for BRLTTY? If so, how do
I get the Braille Lite to input text or strings into the BRLTTY terminal?


All the best,

Cearbhall

The BrailleLite driver has a kbemu parameter that specifies whether or not
keyboard input is to be enabled. It looks like it defaults to on, but, in
case you'd like to force it just to be sure, add a line like this to your
brltty.conf file:

   braille-parameters bl:KbEmu=yes

I don't know if NVDA supports keyboard input via the BrlAPI interface. It
certainly could, but it's possible that it doesn't. Maybe someone else here
knows. You could also ask the NVDA people. Perhaps NVDA has some kind of
logging that you could enable.
