Hi. For those of you who are using (or thinking about buying) a HandyTech braille display, here are some news about recent improvements of the HandyTech driver for BRLTTY: * Support for Bluetooth wireless connectivity was added. This is tested with a Braille Star 40. It should also work with Braillino displays with a bluetooth interface. To use bluetooth connectivity, you first need to figure out the bluetooth device address of your display. Use a command like "hcitool scan" to find it. To tell BRLTTY which device to connect to, use a device specification like "bluez:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", i.e.: "-b ht -d bluez:DE:AD:DE:AD:BE:EF". * Support for the external keyboard was added to the HandyTech driver. The Braille Star has two PS/2 connectors, one for an inbound keyboard, and one to connect the display to the computer's PS/2 port. Previously you could only use the external keyboard if you also connected the second PS/2 cable to your PC. Now you can use the external keyboard (disable auto-switch in the internal Braille Star menu) with whatever connection type you aready use for your display (serial, USB or bluetooth). This is especially useful if your display has a bluetooth interface, since this gives you a complete wireless remote braille terminal with normal keyboad input and braille output. You could, for instance, finally put your computer into the basement, or enjoy the summer outside while still being able to use your computer. All above mentioned improvements are currently only available in the BRLTTY Subversion development repository and can be expected to be available in the next stable release (3.6). -- Happy hacking, Mario _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
