Need Help with Etherkey Script for Mac-Windows Interaction #8

Closed codecruncher28 closed 12 months ago

codecruncher28 commented 1 year ago

I'm reaching out as I'm quite new to this and could use some guidance with the Etherkey script. Firstly, thank you for providing this valuable tool.

I've been attempting to control a Windows PC from my Mac, utilizing the Etherkey system. However, I'm encountering some difficulties in getting the key presses to function as expected. While I've tried following the documentation, I'm not observing any key presses being sent.

Here's a brief overview of my setup:

Flashed Etherkey firmware onto a Teensy microcontroller.
Connected the Teensy to my Windows PC.
Connected my Mac to the Teensy via a USB to TTL cable.

My main questions revolve around the usage of the Etherkey script (Etherkey.py) and the interaction between my systems. I have a few specific concerns:

Running Location: Should I be executing the Etherkey.py script on my Mac or my Windows PC? I attempted running it from my Mac, modifying the serial_cmd to connect to PuTTY's COM port, but I only see a blank screen on PuTTY.

Modes: On Windows, the script indicates "connected," but I'm unsure about how to access the specific modes (Interactive, Command, Debug) as detailed in the documentation.

Also what would be the serial command if its a non linux machine

I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide in clarifying these points and helping me get the Etherkey system up and running effectively. Your expertise would be immensely valuable to someone like me who's just starting out.
