Member Function Documentation

int _putc ( int  c ) [virtual]

Send a character.

Parameters:
ccharacter to be sent
Returns:
true if there is no error, false otherwise

Definition at line 441 of file USBKeyboard.cpp.

void configureDevice ( void   ) [inherited]

In USBDevice.cpp > USBDevice::requestSetConfiguration, configureDevice() is called after realiseEndpoint() (in USBCallback_setConfiguration()). So we have the following USB buffer management policy: 1. Allocate for CEP on connect(). 2. Allocate for EPX in realiseEndpoint(). 3. Deallocate all except for CEP in unconfigureDevice().

Definition at line 320 of file USBHAL_EFM32.cpp.

void connect ( void   ) [inherited]

Control Transfer Packet Size Constraints low-speed: 8 full-speed: 8, 16, 32, 64 high-speed: 64

Definition at line 280 of file USBHAL_EFM32.cpp.

bool keyCode ( uint8_t  key,
uint8_t  modifier = 0 
)

To send a character defined by a modifier(CTRL, SHIFT, ALT) and the key. 

 //To send CTRL + s (save)
  keyboard.keyCode('s', KEY_CTRL);
Parameters:
modifierbit 0: KEY_CTRL, bit 1: KEY_SHIFT, bit 2: KEY_ALT (default: 0)
keycharacter to send
Returns:
true if there is no error, false otherwise

Definition at line 445 of file USBKeyboard.cpp.

uint8_t lockStatus (  )

Read status of lock keys.

Useful to switch-on/off leds according to key pressed. Only the first three bits of the result is important:

  • First bit: NUM_LOCK
  • Second bit: CAPS_LOCK
  • Third bit: SCROLL_LOCK
Returns:
status of lock keys

Definition at line 437 of file USBKeyboard.cpp.

bool mediaControl ( MEDIA_KEY  key )

Control media keys.

Parameters:
keymedia key pressed (KEY_NEXT_TRACK, KEY_PREVIOUS_TRACK, KEY_STOP, KEY_PLAY_PAUSE, KEY_MUTE, KEY_VOLUME_UP, KEY_VOLUME_DOWN)
Returns:
true if there is no error, false otherwise

Definition at line 477 of file USBKeyboard.cpp.
