Zalman HD160 (IRTrans) Volume Knob -> GotoScreen()

[Infra]

Hey all,
What I'm trying to do is use the volume knob on my IRTrans VFD toggle a GotoScreen(). This will have LCDSmartie switch to a display of the system volume when the volume knob is used.

How would I go about doing this?

I've thought of having global hot-keys setup that takes the IRTrans (through ir2keyboard.exe) keyboard shortcut and switches the screen within LCDSmartie (don't know how though).

Any other suggestions/possible solutions would be appreciated.

After some more searching I answered myself:

• 1. Map Volume Knob to volume up and down keys with ir2keyboard:
  • a. Up = VK_175
    b. Down = VK_174
  2. Add what you want to display when volume is changed(I used a bar graph and the volume plugin) to a screen (lets say screen 5):
  

  Code: Select all

  Volume
  $Bar($dll(volume,3,,),100,16)
  

  3. Add an action to the actions tab:
  

  Code: Select all

  $dll(volume,5,1,1) ; > ; 1 ; GotoScreen(5)
