Hi Steve, You have accurately posed my question in different words. The statement "I'd use a switch connected to ADB to emulate a mouse click" is deceptively simple. But it hides the problem of just how do I send the right numerical code down the ADB serial line? I know of 3 options, wire into keyboard, wire into some other peripheral (e.g. a multi-button mice), or option 3: make my own one-key input switch. I am interested in the third option. I think it is very difficult. Do you, or does any other person, have any clues to help solve this problem? Thank you Steve Firth <filter@firthcom.demon.co.uk> wrote: > Paul St George <paul@minument.demon.co.uk> wrote: > [snip] > > I would wire a 3.5mm socket into the keyboard case across the contacts > for the shift or option key and then add a remote push-to-make switch > wired to a flying lead and a 3.5mm plug. > > Except as I say, I wouldn't.
