Post by: equlizer on February 11, 2017, 06:05:25 pm

I've been searching for over an hour now and I just want to make it look to windows as a keyboard.  I tried Kade loader, flip software.  I dont get the .hex crap :(

The .hex file is the compiled (machine-readable) translation of the human-readable/human-editable "sketch"/source code.

Some programs like Teensyduino (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensyduino.html) compile the source code and upload the hex data into the Teensy's flash memory without saving a .hex file on your computer.

Other programs like FLIP just upload an already-compiled hex file.

Teensy has a unique bootloader that will only work with PJRC-compatible software -- it is definitely not KADE Loader/Mapper compatible.

If you scroll down on this (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/index.html) page you'll find:
- Teensy Loader Application
- Software Development Tools

There are examples here (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_keyboard.html) of code that can make a Teensy into a keyboard.

For a variety of examples like this one (https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/28744-Teensy-3-1-gt-Keyboard-(Arcade-Controller)), put "teensy mame keyboard sketch" or similar keywords into your favorite search engine.
