Is it possible to send input to real device ?

[levantail]

I have HTC Vive pro, and i would like to know, is it possible to send input to real controller using OpenVR-InputEmulator? (in other words just simulate button press); I have already read README file but maybe i miss something.

best regards

Yes, via the provided client_commandline.exe. I wrote a shell for that

If you need only the command line for a specific action, let me know

Well, i tried to send the system button input to one of my controller but its not worked out. I used something like this(vie powerShell): client_commandline.exe buttonevent press 2 0

Which button do you need to emulate?

For a standard button, like menu button, you should use

client_commandline.exe buttonevent pressandhold [id] 1

and to release it

client_commandline.exe buttonevent unpress [id] 1

trigger isn't a button, but a axis, so you should use

client_commandline.exe axisevent [id] 1 1 0

and to release it

client_commandline.exe axisevent [id] 1 0 0

you must use SteamVR "v1527117754 - 6/21/2018 hotfix"
