Re: K3: External Macro Launcher (Revisited)

Mike VE3YF
In February of this year, there was talk of using a Genovation CP24 Serial Keypad which would allow either 24 or 48 macros to be stored on the keypad and just hit the applicable key and send a macro to the K3. Unfortunately a couple guys tried out this keypad and it didn't work properly with a K3.

While the idea is a great one, has anyone found a keypad that will work for this same purpose. It is either find another Keypad or go to something like a Pigknob, but the Pigknob is limited to 8 macros only.

Any ideas etc would be greatly appreciated. Tnx and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Please keep this discussion on the reflector...  I am also looking for
an external keypad for launching macros, that works with a P3, and a
computer in place as well...

Re: K3: External Macro Launcher (Revisited)

Cady, Fred-2
Hi,
A P3 with the SVGA option can store 50, 124 character macros that can be executed with a single Ctrl-, Alt-, or Alt-Ctrl-key.  You do have to have a keyboard attached to the P3 but there are a variety of small wireless keyboards that work.
Cheers and Happy Holidays to all,
Fred KE7X

Wow...  Anyone having tested this with an external keypad have a
suggestion for a device, or will just any external keypad work as long
as it is USB?

Now you're talking an extra Kilobuck for these goodies. A programmable keypad
is far less expensive.

Hi David,
I don't know about a keypad but certainly a keyboard works FB.
Happy Hols,

Hi Fred,
Are you saying it is as simple as adding an external keypad to the P3, then
triggering macros from the P3?

In which the Gennoation USB/HID version should work in lieu of a
keyboard as long as you know the keystroke equivalents to program it.

Re: K3: External Macro Launcher (Revisited)

NK7Z
Hi Joe,

As always you seem to have penetrated to the heart of my question...
THANK YOU!  

As I have neither seen nor owned one of these keypads yet, I assume one
must program each key to emulate a key on a keyboard, separately
first.  

So to check my understanding here is a brief overview:

I program the Genovation, using a PC to have a few buttons emulate a few
ASCII keys, and unplug it, and set it aside.  

I then use a normal ASCII keyboard, jacked into the USB port of the P3
to program a few macros, using teh same keys as triggers I programmed
into the Genovation.

I then remove the ASCII keyboard, and replace it with the Genovation
keypad, now if I press one of the pre-programmed keys, (and that key
matches a key I have pre-programmed into the P3), the macro associated
with that key will trigger, thus controlling the K3, or P3.

Is that even close to correct?  If so I order a Genovation today!

Re: K3: External Macro Launcher (Revisited)

Joe Subich, W4TV-4

It has been a very long time since I looked at the Gennovation USB/HID
documentation and I do not own the P3SVGA (P3 only).  I do not know how
the P3VGA macros are programmed but your description is close to the
way I expect such a system to work.

I would recommend downloading software and documentation for both sets
of hardware and fully understanding the operation before committing to
either set of hardware - particularly given the cost.

73,

   ... Joe, W4TV

Re: K3: External Macro Launcher (Revisited)

NK7Z
That is what I am looking for...  I can deal with the glue to make it
work, all I want to be sure of, (and another person tells me they are
using the Genovation), is that the Genovation will work...  The rest is
just glue to make it work...  Thanks again Joe!
