AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenge of interpreting ASCII values from a COM port as keyboard input for another program, specifically Adobe Flash. The initial query highlights success in reading ASCII values into MATLAB but seeks a method to use those values as keyboard input. A mention of the DOS CTTY command suggests a historical solution, while the conversation shifts to Windows, where a software called Keyinjector is recommended. Ultimately, the user confirms that Keyinjector successfully resolved their issue, allowing them to achieve the desired functionality.

Hi guys an gals

Do any of you know an elegant way to take ascii values from the com port and interpret them as keyboard input in another program?

If I may be more clear, we've gotten it right to read in ascii from a microprocessor into MATLAB but we would like to read in values which are to interpreted as keyboard input in adobe flash.

Any thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated :smile:

Under dos you could do this with the CTTY command.
Under windows it might be a bit trickier, there is some software called keyinjector butI haven't used it.
 
Hey thanks alot!

:smile:

Keyinjector did the trick, we've got it working now.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
