Trouble getting a working config file for page turner #11

Open dotknott opened 1 month ago

dotknott commented 1 month ago

I was able to get this to work with an 8bit do (thanks!) but I'm having trouble with an actual page turner remote.

This is the output from evtest on one of the buttons

but I can't seem to get the page turn to trigger with this device on the kobo.

I thought that this would do it: 

    prevPage EV_ABS ABS_Y 1012

but it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing a step, or can these page turning devices not be used?

I have the same output from evtest and cannot get it to work. Did you found a solution?

I have not. Though I did find this in the closed issues: https://github.com/tsowell/kobo-btpt/issues/1#issuecomment-1086887433

I'm not sure I understand how the user went from nextPage EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 90002 to prevPage 1 272 1

Yeah I don't get that either.

I tried so many different configurations and I don't get it working.

This is my evtest output:

HI there, I guess I have a similar device and the proper config for you is a file named

D01

with this content:

prevPage EV_ABS ABS_Y 1012 nextPage EV_ABS ABS_Y 500

BTW, the device that I bought was this ring.

That's all, it worked for me.

dotknott commented 2 weeks ago

I'm glad it worked for you! Which Kobo model are you working with, because if you read my first comment I have the exact same prevPage setup as you and it isn't working on my 2e. I've confirmed just now that your configs do not work with my Kobo/page turner combo.
