Hi folks!
I finally bought myself the hack2you (lululvlv) trackpad and it transformed my uConsole from a casual toy to a functional handheld computer. There were some little things in the keyboard firmware that I wanted to tweak, so I made a fork. My overarching goal was to make the device work either closer to ClockworkPi’s original, or removal of some Bluetooth functions that are not needed when installed in a uConsole. Quick summary:
- Fixed Right Alt/Ctrl going dead under Fn
- Decoupled the caps lock light/click from the touchpad. Now there is no caps lock light, the touchpad light stays on, and switching the touchpad to mouse scrolling mode is done by clicking directly on the touchpad. (left/right mouse buttons next to the D-pad still work as normal)
- Fixed up volume behavior to how the uConsole works out of the box
- Some other nice tweaks
- Lots of reference material for future developers (thanks Claude for writing all that for me.)
I’ve installed this on hack2you’s current 2.0.1 hardware kit and I am just thrilled. Mouse movement, keypresses, keyboard backlight… so good.
I created a new keyboard combo to drop into firmware flashing mode because the Fn+\ could be fragile and there’s no easy way to recover from that other than a reboot unless you can get in over VNC or ssh. However, I am not certain the button on the edge of the board is a bootloader button, so I didn’t disable the Fn+\ yet. As soon as I get confirmation of that I’ll disable Fn+.
Please enjoy and file bugs as they’re found.
