unable to initialize Keyboard/mouse combo object

Siri · 2008-10-17 17:04

I was trying to use your Keyboard/mouse object.It says to:
“Applications should call config.GetPin(DeviceType) to get the pin for the device.”

I tried placing the call like this:

Pub Start | char, mx, my
  config.Init(@pininfo,0)                               'initialize config setup
  config.GetPin(CONFIG#VGA1) 
  kbm.start(config.GetPin(CONFIG#MOUSE1_DATA),config.GetPin(CONFIG#MOUSE1_CLK), {
}   config.GetPin(CONFIG#KEYBOARD1_DATA),config.GetPin(CONFIG#KEYBOARD1_CLK))

I also tried doing this "config.GetPin(#VGA1) - not succesful


Pub Start | char, mx, my
  config.Init(@pininfo)   'initialize config setup
  
  kbm.start(config.GetPin(CONFIG#MOUSE1_DATA),config.GetPin(CONFIG#MOUSE1_CLK), {
}   config.GetPin(CONFIG#KEYBOARD1_DATA),config.GetPin(CONFIG#KEYBOARD1_CLK)) ,config.GetPin(CONFIG#VGA1)

and I did not get any display on the VGA Monitor.(I have the monitor hooked up to "Propeller Proto Board and wired per instructions and it does work when I use the VGA object to display text.
What I am I doing wrong.

I'm a little confused by what you are trying to do. It looks like you are using
some code that calls a "pindefs" file for it's I/O information.

something like this:
propeller.wikispaces.com/PinDefs.spin

If you place the actual number of the connected item does it work?

Oldbitcollector,
You are wright it is looking for "PinDefs"They are in a another object which this calls.
Here is the initialization part of the KBM driver Test - I was trying out the Test program which was included in the kbm oject found in the OBJECT section.

  {{
  KBM driver test
        Tim Moore July 08
}}
CON
  _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000

OBJ 
                                                        '1 Cog here 
  kbm           : "kbm"                                 '1 COG for mouse and keyboard
  
  uarts         : "pcFullDuplexSerial4FC"               '1 COG for 4 serial ports

  config        : "config"                              'no COG required

Pub Start | char, mx, my
  config.Init(@pininfo,0)                               'initialize config setup
  
  kbm.start(config.GetPin(CONFIG#MOUSE1_DATA),config.GetPin(CONFIG#MOUSE1_CLK), {
 }  config.GetPin(CONFIG#KEYBOARD1_DATA),config.GetPin(CONFIG#KEYBOARD1_CLK))
    config.GetPin(CONFIG#VGA1) 

  waitcnt(clkfreq*3 + cnt)                              'delay for debugging
  
  uarts.Init
  uarts.AddPort(0,config.GetPin(CONFIG#DEBUG_RX),config.GetPin(CONFIG#DEBUG_TX),{
}   UARTS#PINNOTUSED,UARTS#PINNOTUSED,UARTS#DEFAULTTHRESHOLD, {
}   UARTS#NOMODE,UARTS#BAUD115200)                      'Add debug port
  uarts.Start                                           'Start the ports
  
  uarts.str(0,string("KBMTest",13))

Thanks,

Here's an example of the way I called my Pindefs from my loderunner game.

     pd     : "PinDefs"                  ' I/O configuration file

  text.start(pd#TV_DAC1)
  snd.start(pd#AUDIO1)  
  fsrw.start(@ioControl)                
  fsrw.mount(pd#FSRW1_DO,pd#FSRW1_Clk,pd#FSRW1_DI,pd#FSRW1_CS)

I'm guessing that config.GetPin(CONFIG#VGA1) should be something like start.vga(config#VGA1)
and kbm.start(config#MOUSE1_DATA,config#MOUSE1_CLK)
