Hello Everyone,
I am trying to find out if Teensy is the right device for the project I am contemplating. If not what other possibilities might work. I found this project on instructables https://www.instructables.com/id/Engineers-Buddy-Bluetooth-Kbd-and-Mouse/ that seems to be similar to what I am looking for with the exception of it uses a tablet or android phone as the input device.
I use a lot of macros at work and at home whenever I remote into a customers system which often have custom software installed. Most of the macros consist of various key presses, delays and mouse events/clicks. I can do this using various macro software packages but they all require you to install the software on the system I am using. I would like to be independent of software and operating system.
What I envision is a small box into which I plug a keyboard, possibly even a mouse as well and the blackbox reads the input from the keyboard/mouse. The blackbox should be recognized by the system it is attached to as a keyboard and/or mouse. If there is a macro defined for the specific key(s) and/or mouse actions then it sends that defined macro instead of the actual keypress. The macro profiles would be a simple os independent file type such as .csv and be able to be uploaded into the Blackbox. I would like to be able to avoid adding to much delay into the cycle and also allow for debouncing regardless of what type of keyboard I use and what type of OS is on the PC I am attached to.
An additional feature I am contemplating is using a touch screen attached to the teensy to control which set of macros is being used.
Thanks
Doc
