Control_R definition is ignored in symbolic keymap

[Perifractic]

Hi Randy, Perifractic here. I’m developing a USB keyboard for all VICE emulators. Unfortunately I’ve hit a roadblock with the BMC64 keymap creation.

Control_R definition is ignored in symbolic keymap. This means I cannot set what right Ctrl does.

This does not seem to occur in latest version of VICE itself.

If you can locate the issue and resolve it, it will mean I don’t need to separately instruct BMC64 users to use Alt in place of Ctrl. Thank you!

Hmm....this sounds like something I fixed recently but is not in the 3.6 release. Can you try the kernel image found here?

This was the fix: https://github.com/randyrossi/bmc64/commit/b51a7c817a2fbbc410efdb7294741f1b0bc303ff#diff-ae7f4f762ab6d2b0e2a54523d05a4721701684cb34e39e98bd32e29eeb045417

Let me know if that works.

Thanks! I did search before posting but didn’t see that. Will try this ASAP. I’m sure it will work. Will this be in the public release soon?

Also if you or anyone reading this want a sneak peek here is what I’m working on: http://perifractic.com/petsciiboard

I’d be happy to send you a beta unit Randy. Drop me an email via http://perifractic.com/contact

Y. If it works, I will make this master release v3.7 and then you can mention in the instructions to use at least that version. It's about time to put out an update even though I've not done much dev lately.

Very cool keyboard project. Would definitely like one. I was also planning on sending you a VICII-Kawari once my new boards arrive (and hopefully work).

It works! Great.

I will update the website to instruct users to use 3.7 and above.

Drop me a fleaMail with your address and I’ll send you a test board as soon as I have samples.

Can’t wait to see the Kawari! Thanks!

Would there be a way to hardcode the PETSCIIBOARD keymap into 3.7? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Euf01i04oGS0s11fZRsNIl-f5mnrSpwr/view?usp=drivesdk

Sounds like it should be another menu option for keyboard type like I did with the 'Maxi' I don't have access to that drive link (I just requested access). I can include it with 3.7 and add a 'PETSCIIBOARD' menu option to activate it. Is the mapping only for C64 or do you have ones for Vic20, Pet, C16, etc?

[Perifractic]

Apologies, link is now public.

Such menu option would be great, thanks!

Currently the mapping is just for C64.

[Perifractic]

Do my new instructions make sense? Or would they also need to select Symbolic?

[randyrossi]

Under BMC64's 'Keyboard' menu, there will be a 'Mapping' item which will have PETSCIIBOARD as one of the options.

I'll include the mapping file in the C64 sub-folder for the sdcard.

[Perifractic]

Thanks! So for the instructions, would the user go to Keyboard settings > Mapping > PETSCIIBOARD?

Would anything else be required such as selecting Symbolic or American (US)?

Y, just Keyboard -> Mapping -> PETSCIIBOARD is all that's needed. That will load to the symbolic file you gave me. No need to specify sym or pos since I just map it to that type/file.
