Tutorial: Advanced data entry

Overview

In this example we will launch notepad (on Windows) and then type a message. Between the keystrokes, we will add some delays. We will make the application launched and message configurable, so we can quickly choose a different application or message.

Step 1: Open the FlipKeyboard app

  • On your Flipper Zero, open Apps folder.
  • Choose GPIO app.
  • Choose Flipboard Keyboard app.

Step 2: Configure the Action 1

  • Choose Config from the main menu of the FlipKeyboard.
  • Choose Action 1 (button 1) from the configuration menu.

Step 3: Windows + R to run an app, then delay

  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.
  • Choose L-WIN for the Keystroke. (You can click OK to select the key from the on-screen keyboard; it looks like the 4 square windows logo).
  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.
  • Choose r for the Keystroke. (You can click OK to select the key from the on-screen keyboard).
  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.
  • Choose Delay for the Keystroke. (This option is NOT in the on-screen keyboard).
  • Change the Count to 12 (Each delay is 100ms, so this will be a 1.2 second delay).

Step 4: Type "notepad", press enter, then delay

  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.
  • Choose Msg 1 for the Keystroke. (You can click OK to select the key from the on-screen keyboard).
  • Scroll down to Message 1 and click OK to edit the message. Enter the text notepad and choose save to save the message.
    • NOTE: To clear a message you cannot delete all of the text. Instead, you must enter a space character. This is a limitation in the current keyboard widget module that is provided by Flipper.
  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.
  • Choose Enter for the Keystroke. (You can click OK to select the key from the on-screen keyboard).
  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.
  • Choose Delay for the Keystroke. (This option is NOT in the on-screen keyboard).
  • Change the Count to 20 (Each delay is 100ms, so this will be a 2.0 second delay).

Step 5: Type "Hello World".

  • Choose Add Keystroke from the configuration menu.

  • Choose Msg 2 for the Keystroke. (You can click OK to select the key from the on-screen keyboard).

  • Set the Count to 5 (This will type the message 5 times).

  • Scroll down to Message 2 and click OK to edit the message. Enter the text Hello World! and choose save to save the message.

  • NOTE: For more advanced messages, see the Message tutorial.

Step 6: Save the configuration

  • Press the Back button to return to the list of actions.
  • Press the Back button to return to the main menu.

Step 7: Run the keyboard

  • Choose Flipboard Keyboard from the main menu.
  • Make sure your Flipper Zero is connected to your PC using the USB cable.
  • Press the Leftmost button on the FlipBoard to run the Action 1 that you programmed.
