TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad DVT prototype has Clickpad key binding after update
« on: April 18, 2013, 04:48:28 am »
Hi,

I've recently upgraded my Nspire CAS Touchpad DVT to OS 3.1.0.3 (with boot2 stripped with TNOC, of course). However, it has keybinding from Clickpad for whatever reason. I believe I managed to install the latest ndless.

Is it possible to create a startup ndless program that would change the keybindings? I would code it myself, just please tell me if it's a lost cause already.

Edit: or better yet, can I do anything to tell the OS it's on Touchpad hardware (it thinks it's on Clickpad)? Either with nlaunch or ndless?

Thanks

That is a very odd problem, can you do anything at all? The program to tell the calculator that you are on different hardware seems like it would be feasible. It seems as if you got a prototype keypad, which lacks the ability to tell the calculator that it is a Touchpad. Do you happen to have access to another Touchpad? Also, I think there was a program so that you could remote control the nspire from the computer, and you could make some progress that way.

(actually I have quite a few more than this, but I don't feel like making bars for them all.)

Oh you are right, the keypad too has a prototype serial number. It can be navigated (I maps to N, 8 to A and similar), but remotely controlling the calculator would be great.

I believe I've found a similar problem (if not the same) at http://ourl.ca/17812/330070
I have no other keypad to verify, but post in the linked thread claims that "replacing the keypad with a production version didn't help at all", which I find weird.

I'm not sure where to start with the patching though. Can ndless override system calls, such as (made up) `getKeypadType()`?
