Hé Hé, don't be sorry, it is not your fault that French decided that our dear accents needed us to be unable to use most of the rest of the world kbd layouts ...

Goodness, the HDMI out animation mode is fun.
I know your to-do for everything is long and video play is all bonus.
I don't expect a reply ok? Just want to get this out there.
That said, pleeeeeese!!! (ahem)

What's the order of operations for SXY and TILE, TMAP and the PENs?
I get MODE, TEXT and SFNT (kind of), and COL, CRCL will draw things.

Adding automation is fun. More of that fun please.

I haven't been able to just draw a pixel or a line in a given color yet. How is that done?
I guess it is: define a draw object/sprite, set a color, set an xy (I guess) but how?

Ops wishes:
XOR draw mode so stuff can fly around, if the hardware supports it.
An HSV color space would be easier to modulate.

Do you care about stack overflow reports? 
I made it do some, when running it too fast, mucking about.

It's interesting that HDMIout and the LCD can each have different fonts.

Not bit blitting, no memory, fighting draw times, merging the syntax, and making it all still play.
With the video-out clean and flawless. Hard, fun problems. 

Thanks for the work. You are a masterful programmer.

Hi all, I have had the expander for a while for the HDMI, which works great. Recently I changed my setup and wanted to try it with a USB keyboard. Unfortunately, i can't get it to work. I tried 4 keyboards we have in the house with no succes, with or without a USB hub. Is it really that sensitive? Is there something I am missing in the setup? The expander is running V1.1, nerdseq V1.27.

Did you connect both cables properly with the NerdSEQ? The cable to the midi expander is responsible for the keyboard communication. You can test if you save the video settings if that connection is fine.
4 non working keyboards is very unlikely, except for if you use exact the same keyboards. I am aware of only one keyboard right now which only works with a hub.

Thanks for your reply. I think it is connected properly, I connected the midi expander to the video expander and from there to the Nerdseq. My midi expander still works normally. However, if I try to save and restart from the video config menu I get a fail. I tried disconnecting the midi expander and changing cables between the video expander and the Nerdseq, no change.

You might want to disconnect and connect these cables again. (Never when the power is on!!).
If that doesn’t work then you either got a hardware issue with the expander or worst case with the NerdSEQ.
Try also without the midi expander and both ports, just to be sure. Also be careful that you don’t break the sd card when you insert the midi/gamepad cable. It is very tight there.

If all won’t work then contact me and we’ll figure it out to solve the problem. It’ll be fine in the end!!!

Is there a list of compatible USB keyboards/chipsets ? I got a Lenovo ThinkPad Compact Keyboard (KU-1255) to work but my GMMK Barebones does not work (I tried different cables and different hubs).

Edit: Got a couple keyboards yesterday from Logitech and those worked. I assume the GMMK keyboard may not have a standard implementation of keyboard device. Realized I needed a full keyboard anyway and got a Logitech G413 SE (YU0074)- that worked. Logitech K400 Plus (Y-R055) worked also and used a wireless usb receiver that can be setup with other keyboards so I suspect the wireless USB Logitech standard will work other Logitech wireless keyboards. Made a table below with USB vendor and device IDs for anyone else interested:

Code:

Keyboard         | Vendor ID | Device ID | Compatibility
-------------------------------------------------------------------
GGMK-TKL-RGB     | 0x0C45    | 0x652f    | No (Microdia/Sonix Vendor)

Lenovo KU-1255   | 0x17EF    | 0x6047    | Yes

Logitech Y-R0055 | 0x046D    | 0xc52b    | Yes (unifying USB wireless receiver)

Logitech YU0074  | 0x046D    | 0xc349    | Yes

Yes it seems to me that the GMMK is not a normal Class Compliant HID (Human Interface Device) but needs a driver to set it up. Those kind of keyboards are not usable in the most cases. There is no list of what works and what not. I know only about one Cherry Keyboard which didn't work but which does work using a USB hub.

I'm having some trouble with my More Video. I bought and installed it around a 6 weeks ago with no problems - got everything working. I just put in the Multi IO boat and now it doesn't respond to either Keyboard or Video. The expander is found and appears to be configured but does not do anything. Also it will not let me save a configuration for the video and restart (per the menu item) it say "Fail". I've removed the other expansion, but that hasn't made any difference. I haven't changed the keyboard or monitor.

Any ideas?
