8 months ago I kept trying and finally got it working. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, I just kept on iterating on the things I wasn't sure were correct. I have partial answers to my own question:
(1) Sending the command in a loop turned out to be the right thing to do. I interpret the "click" sound I mentioned above when sending just a single command to be the minimum amount the desk can move, which was visually imperceptible to me.
(2) I did not have to press multiple buttons simultaneously, holding "down" was enough, so I guess the question was irrelevant.
Again, thanks for the repository. I now have a usable desk again, and their terrible customer support won't affect my mood as much.
The keypad on my desk is dead, and I'm using the Raspberry Pi package in hope to move my desk down (currently stuck at a high position).
It almost works. The only command I can issue that has any noticeably effect is "down"; only a short click sound in the control box, but no actual movement. By tweaking the existing code, I was able to read "rSt" (like this) back from the desk, so I assume all it wants is for me to reset it. The manual says I should simply hold down, but the internet says it could be a more complex combination of keys.
Given that I don't have a physical keyboard to work with, I have a couple of basic questions:
while True:loop, but doesn't seem to matter.while True:loop, but also nothing noticeable.Any insights would be valuable. And thanks for sharing putting all this information together.
