u-hid shift behavior

(1/1)

tony.silveira:
hey guys,

i just did a massive rewiring project for my panel, man was it a mess under there!  i'm loving all my new components from Ultimarc (thanks Andy!) but have recently seen some weirdness.

seems the shift button i assigned, 1, is sending m,multiple keystrokes.  it works fine as a shift, hold 1, press my button 4, it sends "P" for pause.  but if i just tap "1", in notepad, it sends a one, followed an instance later by 8 rapid fire 1's (testing in notepad).  this seems to be doing it for anyt button i set up as a shift.  i tried setting "2" as a shift and it's doing the same thing.

i've tried setting the "down action" in the u-hid config to both "normal primary" and "pulse primary" and they both are doing the same thing.

any thoughts on what might be going on?  thanks

AndyWarne:
The keycode should be sent (once) when the button is released if the pin is defined as the U-HID shift control. It is pulsed on release but if you have a very short keyboard auto-repeat time configured you might get multiple characters typed.
This should not affect gaming.

thanks for the response andy.  it doesn't affect gaming but it's running wild in my front end.  as an example, i press '5' to bring up mala's menu.  if i go to sort games or select another game list, i press '1'.  with this issue, when i select a different game list, it rapidly starts whatever game is first on the list (the multiple key presses of '1').

i will check the auto-repeat time when i get home but it only is happening with teh shifted key, no others.  be they 'normal' or 'pulse.

but let me see when i get home.

EDIT:  that did her Andy, thanks a ton man!
