Weird intermittent input errors
madwort opened this issue · comments
My duckypad used to work great, but I recently upgraded the firmware a few versions & have started getting intermittent error input generated. Symptoms that I have observed include:
- (a) I press a key, the macro fires correctly, but then the duckypad continues to emit a stream of
.as if a key was held down (fwiw.was not part of the macro). Only unplugging the duckypad seems to stop it. - (b) repeatedly pressing a key mostly generates the expected output, but from time to time emits some random extra characters.
some notes on setup:
- I have two keyboard layouts on the duckypad - English (US) & Dvorak (US) - I'm using the dvorak one
- macOS 10.15 (still...), keyboard input set to Dvorak
- duckypad configurator v0.14.0
- firmware v0.21.0 - prior to upgrading I was using v0.17.0, and I think that worked perfectly
I got a video clip of the (b) symptom. I'm on a numpad layout, pressing the 8 at regular intervals which is configured to KP_8. You can hopefully see that pressing 8 mostly generates a single 8, but sometimes produces .u8, sometimes u8 and sometimes 88.
Any advice welcome!

huh, weird, doing some more tests & realised that I was using a random USB hub & if I plug directly into the Macbook I haven't yet been able to reproduce the fault...!
yep, switching back to the USB hub I can reproduce very quickly. Must be something else.
