I had problems putting this stuff into the wiki, so I'll put it here fr the moment.
THE lc16m is a HTPC case with integrated VFD-display, remote control and some front-panel buttons. All text assumes that you have your hardware working and the current drivers from Soundgraph.
VFD
This is the simplest part. Click the "iMon VFD Control panel" icon in your taskbar. You can now select between different modes. Click "plug-in".
For MediaPortal to make use of this display, go to MediaPortal Setup. Enable the "external display" plugin. Parameters should be:
Type: SoundGraph iMON USB Driver V1.0
Port: USB
Columns: 16
Rows: 2
Comm. Delay: 1
Leave all other settings at default.
iMom PAD remote controller
The simplest way to get this one working with MP is using its driver utility to generate key (combinations) that MP will react to out of the box.
I am using the following setup. If anyone is willing to host the setupfile, please give me a pm.
1. System hibernate
2. Power : Turn On/OFF the system.
3.Media Control Button group 1.
Play - "P"
Pause - "Spacebar"
Rec - "R"
Open - ??
Prev - "F7"
Next - "F8"
Rew - "F5"
F.Fwd - "F6"
Stop - "B"
4. Mouse/Keyboard button : Switch between mouse/keyboard function.
5. PAD controller : Mouse cursor control & 4 arrow Keys
6. Windows Button
7. Menu Button
8. Launch MediaPortal
9. Application Launcher : Running Application Launcher,
Easiest way to run the assigned applications.
10. Task Switcher : Running Task Switcher, select the
application window among the running applications.
<ALT>
11. iMON Timer : key "F9", tyically brings up the local menu in MP
12. VOL/CH Button : Control of Volume and TV channel
13. Media Control Button Group 2
Front panel buttons
These are made by Silverstone themselves, and confusingly have nothing to do with the PAD remote.
Using a small program for remapping keys, www.autohotkey.com I can use any front-panel button to do anything, except the wheel that is "hard-coded".
