Title: Help! Can not assign shift button on iPac2!?!?!?
Post by: ragnar on September 16, 2010, 11:39:13 pm
So, my cab (see sig) is pretty much up and running.  now I am trying to get the ipac2 set up.  Everything is going great except that I can not assign the shift function.

What I am doing:
1) Launch winIpac
2) set to table view
3) click on P1/2 shift cell
4) Upon prompting, press button that I want to have shift assigned to
5) nothing gets assigned.

What am I doing wrong here?

Owe, my head.

SOLVED!

OK, I have to click the "shift cell" then click on the cell that represent the iPac input within the GUI with the mouse that I want to act as the shift key.  I don't want to press the actual pushbutton.

After re-reading the message from winIpac, I understand its meaning.

I was going to reply because I had the same issue.   After staring at the screen for an hour I actually read the status which told you to click with the mouse  the button you wanted to use for the shift function.  I want that hour of my life back.

Only half an hour of my life.  I got lucky.  Actually, the solution was in another thread here at byoac.  I did a seearch for "ipac shift" that worked out.  But i owuld have to say that hte GUI is somewhat non intuitive in regards to setting the shift key.
