hal >> keypress emulation was created by robertspark
is there a way built in within the hal to emulate a keypress?
I am aware of this python library which could be easily used / integrated as a new component, but was wondering if there was something else already available (i'd hate to reinvent the wheel.....)
pypi.org/project/keyboard/
thanks in advance
Please note I have a serial keypad that I'd like to be able to set up a couple of keys to be able to type Gcode into the mdi, yes I know I can use a bog standard keyboard, but I was wondering if there was another way via hal that this could be integrated with this serial device.
