Keypad overlay problem

[deadly-app]

Ok, well I just got my matrix orbital LCD, mx211 and i'm having a bit of a problem. First off I'll say this thing is amazing, but secondarily im having a problem with the keypad overlay. I read the manual and the template assigning letters to each key on the pad. Now I tried setting it so that when pressing the "Enter" key, alias "H", it would turn on/off the backlight. I know i have the event set correctly, Event: Sys->keypad press, Parameters: H, Action: Backlight->On/off.

This is all saved, but it still doesnt seem to work...am I doing something wrong or is the overlay messed? The SMD cable coming off the overlay is positioned 3 over from the floppy power connector, and 1 over from the opposite side.

I have also tried with the F2 and F1 keys, also with their respective aliases.

I can be hit on email @ snowking03 ATTTTTT comcast.net

Hi,

Thank you for posting.

Make sure you have the right keys assigned.

If the connector is placed in a different location on the keypad connector, the key will change characters. You can check for the correct character in the Configure/Test section. In the test display section at the log window, you can see the character, when you press a key. Make sure you have the right key mapped, then program it in the event.

Let me know how it works out for you.

Best Regards,

Ok got it all figured out after some screwing around with it.

When the SMD cable is set as i originally showed the letters corresponding to buttons are:
Enter=J
F2=P
F1=Q
Uparrow=K
Downarrow=L
Leftarrow=R
rightarrow=F

whoo, now it works
