It is advised you add a keyboard template with the above values,
or use a relegendable keypad like the "XKEYS Desktop PS/2 Keypad".
On most IBM keyboards, function keys (F1 - F12) are arranged across
the top of the keyboard in 3 groups, 4 keys per group:
Axis F-Key
---------- ---------
Aerial Pro F1 - F4
Main Pro F5 - F8
Camera F9 - F12
In each group, the first two keys shoot fwd/rev as long as you hold
the key down. The others shoot single frame forward/reverse.
Use KEYFUNC(OPCSDEFS) to define external port bits so your own custom
hardware buttons can control the motors. You can also tie your own
custom commands and run scripts to buttons and keys.
EXAMPLE. To define the TAB key to invoke a DOS 'dir /p' command, put
the following in your OPCSDEFS.OPC file:
keyfunc -add "! dir /p" 0060 ff 0f 0060 80 80
---------- ---------- ----------
| | |
| | Key release
OPCS command to run Tab down keycode "0f"
Then restart opcs and run the 'key' command. Hitting TAB will show
a directory listing, then you will be prompted to hit a key, then
you're returned to the key mode.
