USB Control Of Powerpoint

[keithdoxey]

I didn' see anything on those sites that looked useful. I think I need a patch that will take characters input to com4 and make them look like they came from the keyboard. A USB keypad I have does what I want. What is the difference between this and characters coming from the pic Serout

Take a look at "Accessability Options" in windows. There is an option to accept a "keyboard" input from the serial port which is intended to be used with some of the equipment used by people with severe motor disabilities who can only control things by suck/blow or eye movements etc

Its under the "General" Tab in accessability options. "Serial Keys" Serialkey devices allow alternate access to mouse and keyboard features.
