[BRLTTY] BrailleSense QWERTY

Mon Dec 14 17:42:59 EST 2015

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.  I had trouble logging and keeping track, I had to 
try several times.  Attached to this email you will find my 
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file, when the BrailleSense is connected.  
I don't know if it will be very helpful.  You will also find a log of a 
BRLTTY session (I selected only part of it and wrote down the key press 
just before pressing it).  Each key is pressed 4-5 seconds of each other 
to clearly separate it. and I made longer pauses between different 
sections.  It seems to point out that the arrow keys, home and end are 
interpreted correctly.  The F1 key does trigger the help.  From F2 to 
f!@, though, nothing seems to be happening.  I hope this helps.  If I 
can do anything (like testing!), I'd be happy to.

Vincent
