POD7 is a small utility that listens to HIDRAW USB foot pedals and forwards the events as session DBus signals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It can also list available HIDRAW USB devices. Using an udev rule to symlink the device is however recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The forwarded signal can then be remotely caught and reacted upon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The forwarded pedal events can be identified using the -v switch.

####Device access setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Udev's facilities are used here. A group with read/write access to the
|
|
|
|
|
device must be created, with users added to that group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ groupadd transcript
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ usermod -a -G transcript user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-mypedal.rules with (one single line) :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- *KERNEL=="hidraw[0-9]*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="abcd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="efgh",
|
|
|
|
|
MODE="0660", GROUP="transcript"*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Get 'abcd' and 'efgh' with 'lsusb' command or 'dmesg |tail' commands
|
|
|
|
|
after plugging the foot pedal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the pedal device and plug it again. On next login, users in group
|
|
|
|
|
'transcript' should have read access to the device.
