IR Keyboard Driver? ( for PSP IRC )

Well,

I got a new IR Keyboard today.... ( Belkin IR :D ) and i like how i can have my psp in the middle of it... but im trying to figure out how to build a driver for PSP IRC.

It works partly ( when i press t it types 2 and ~......stuff like that ) but im wondering how i could make it work correctly?

Is there a place where i can get a already built driver for it?

I would love to get this working :)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

You may find a simple test program (given with libpspirkeyb) and the source of the libpspirkeyb i use (with some minor difference compared to the one you can checkout from the ps2dev subversion tree).

Thanks for Everything,

edit:

heres what my keyboard is

Belkin IR PDA Keyboard - F8U1500-E

ive been looking at alot of things and came across one person (Dr. Vegetable ) who has found a way ( atleast it sounds like he has ) to get it to work ( though i cant check because my enviroment got deleted with the destructive restore i did :( )

I know it would be alot to ask for support for this keyboard........ but i would really appreciate it :) ( then my psp becomes something useful :D )

Thanks for you time :)

I don't own a Belkin keyboard myself, so i can't develop or test any driver for it ... however you can find a targus keyboard for 15$ on ebay ;).

So this is still a dead thread?

What a shame.

I was just being passive.

I really want to see the belkin series implemented.

I have found some forums on NOOBZ that says that the keyboard has been added but that it won't be implemented until the next OFFICIAL version (it isn't implemented in unofficial 0.4).

I wish Christmas would hurry.

Can you tell me if your keyboard works with this version :

(you have to modify the keyboard id parameter in pspirkeyb.ini file
(3 - Belkin IR F8U1500 IrDA) and modify the keymap (to qwerty.ini ?)

GLORIOUS!!!!

It works!

of course I need to do more testing but so far it works.

How do I merge this with PiKey so I can use it in the xmb for the web browser?

the comma is mapped to the DEL key

pspirc doesn't work with pikey and it doesn't share any plugin/prx or code. i guess that if you want to use keyboard with the web browser you have to install latest unofficial pikey version.

(but be aware, you have to disable pikey to run pspirc)

I was waitting to know if it worked for you or not. About your key issue you may have to edit the keymap file and remap keys properly.

Hello zx-81,

The beta driver that you wrote for the PSPirc program for the Belkin IR F8U1500 IrDA keyboards worked great! Would it be possible to release a quick beta version of afkim 3.3.7 that supports the Belkin IR F8U1500 IrDA keyboard as well? It would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you and keep up the excellent work! =)

well, the keyboard works...but now afkim freezes when trying to resolve im.bitlbee.org. I tried using another server like bitlbee1.asnetinc.net and some other one, but it just freezes... can you fix that please? :/

edit: nevermind. i put it in the GAME5xx folder and it worked! thanks!

These drivers work great for my Belkin F8U1500, could you put these drivers on PSP VNC, that would be great!

there are several drivers versions for irda keyboard support, i've got only a targus keyboard i've tested only with this keyboard.
