[BRLTTY] Perkins input on BrailleNote

[Nicholas Dechman]

Never mind, I figured it out by reading archives of this mailing list!

The solution, in case anyone else has the same problem, is to place the device in input mode using SPACE-4-5.

This differs from the HumanWare documentation, which says to type SPACE-2-4 to get into input mode.

Thanks again, Dave (since you wrote the response that helped me, back in Oct 2010)

Subject: Perkins input on BrailleNote
 

Hey y'all.  I'm sure this is a dumb question.

My BrailleNote is connected to BrlTTY, and everything seems hunky-dory.  Or at least I thought so.  It displays the text I want it to display, and some of the input keys do what I expect them to.

But the Perkins keys appear to do nothing.  I'm accustomed to them sending a-z like they do on all my other displays.

I could swear this worked when I first hooked it up.

I guessed I was in some strange mode on the BrailleNote (this thing has all manner of strange modes), but I can't find anything in the documentation about any kind of weird mode that would stop Perkins input from working.

Any idea what I can try?

Thanks,
-Nick
