Trigger events with selfie Bluetooth Remote

Thanks, feinsinn, ordered one of those and will try if OSCulator will recognize it. Will get back with my results. Hanno

Go to the Isadora menu "communications --> stream setup" and choose "Human Interface Device (HID)" click the "Auto-Detect Input" checkbox and press a button on the device and look if something shows up in the window.

Hi,

now I got the remote, it is connected via bluetooth and shows up as a keyboard, pressing the buttons leads either to **volume up** or **enter.**

As the device is not communicating with Oscillator, nor does **the stream setup** is showing anything , I tried the anything actor to trigger my events, but I got no clue what the name of the enter-key or the volume- up-key might be. tried to google with no results. Any ideas?

Thanks

Michel

I can imagine that this software MidiStroke (http://www.charlie-roberts.com/midiStroke/) would recognize the input and send an midi note to Isadora.

I'd check if the device comes with a utility to re-program the buttons. but it sounds like it's a media remote for controlling media center app. Do you only have two buttons?

You can try re-programming the way the OS reads the keyboard keys, but you probably don't want to reprogram your enter key.

for mac, I think there's something built in.

thanks for all your ideas, I decided to buy a different remote model and will share my experiences when it works!

ginger

it works! so far I bought one Aiturn digit 2 remote with works stable with bluetooth, it sends basically 5 signals (arrow, up, down, ...) with can be transformed into trigger pulses, now I am going to buy the footswitches from Airturn and try if it works simultaneously…. let you know.

ginger

problems with the distance though. Seems to work only within 5 meters from laptop.

5m is pretty good going for bluetooth.

Baring in mind it's quite old tech, low powered and arguably only used inclose proximity; sharing pics/sounds between phones, bluetooth mice and keyboards, etc. ( _Just sayin'_ )
