Hi there.

Is there any way to control the joystick behavior from the keyboard?
I mean assign a keyboard key to change its IOUMD state for example?

Thanks in advance!!

There is no built in method to do this. Adding such a capability would require custom mods to the target.tmh file as well as using an external program to read the keyboard keys and send them to TARGET using socket calls. So it is possible, but not trivial to implement.

Thank you Drakoz, that's what I was expecting anyway...

I was trying to save the joystick keys by engaging a mode from the keyboard, but I think I can achieve the same using the TEMPO feature on a given joystick key for mode engagement, with a 3sec press for example, and then have all keys will be available for that mode... will try this. Maybe it's also a good opportunity to try that audio beep solution you mention in another post to announce the mode change...
