Ndless keypad problem
« on: June 22, 2011, 10:32:40 pm »
I didn't really know where to put this post, but when I try to run any program on the TI-nspire touchpad, the buttons on the touchpad don't work, while the actual touch panel works. The OS is 2.0.1 with Ndless 2.0 installed. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, welcome to the forums!
Is your calculator CAS or non-CAS?

So you can use the arrow keys but not anything else? And does the keypad work fine in the os?

Are the Ndless programs that you're trying to run compatible with the touchpad?

It is a non-CAS calculator. Keypads work fine in the OS. Is the latest version of the Gameboy emulator compatible with the software(s) I have?

Just as a note, all Ndless programs are like this not just the emulator!

Well, that depends on what you mean by the latest version. Are you using calc84maniac's normal version, or Mrakoplaz's patched version?

Ah, you have to use the patched version, the original does not support the touchpad. Though I dont get how you are having the same problem with all ndless programs, unless you are using all incompatible versions.

Heya and welcome on the forums abraker95. :)

Unfortunately you need to use Mraklopaz version, although I think it doesn't let you select your game ROM from the list, if I remember.

I'm also moving the topic in the help section.

You need to use the new version, but I can't find it anywhere. Seriously, I could never find it.

I have it though, you can find it here.

It was made by Mrakoplaz, so please someone tell me where it is so I can remove it from my website, I don't think it's ok.

Isn't it strange how Ndless supports every key besides the ones on the touchpad???

The Touchpad is controlled by dedicated i/o ports.
The keyboard routines are linked as static library to the programs, that's why they need to be recompiled to interact with the Touchpad hardware.

Seems like you could write a small piece in your prog that, when it runs, asks you to press enter. Since enter is different on all 3 of the pads, you can determine from there, and have a variable (read: not using DEFINE) and some functions for common keys in libs, like isKeyPressed(up(padvar)). That way, no recompiling would be necessary. The Function would look something like this:

up(padvar)
{
if padvar = 0
{
return KEY_NSPIRE_UP
}

if padvar = 1
{
return KEY_TOUCH_UP
}

if padvar = 0
{
return KEY_84_UP
}

The find function would have a simple input dialog, compare the recieved number to the 3 possibilities, and either return an error and retry or store the result in padvar and progress.
