*** USB Remote is now available also on iOS platform. Download on the AppStore. ***
What's new in the latest InputStickUtility version:
Fixed Android N Bluetooth 4.0 connection problem:
Devices running Android N should now be able to connect to InputStick BT4.0 devices. If the problem still occurs on your device, please let me know in comment or by email (see Contact section on inputstick.com).
If your app uses direct Bluetooth connection, get new API here. If it uses InputStickUtility no actions are required.
Firmware 0.98B (optional update):
Allows to change Bluetooth name of InputStick device. More info below. Since vast majority of users most likely won't be interested in this option, this is an optional update and application will not suggest to upgrade your firmware.
To update to 0.98B:
- unplug device from USB port (skip this if your device is password protected),
- My devices -> select device from the list -> more -> Firmware Upgrade -> Yes -> select v0.98B,
- plug device into USB port, wait few seconds,
- press Flash button.
Note: application will assume that v0.98B is same as v0.98
Added option to change Bluetooth name of InputStick device:
To change Bluetooth name of the device:
- *** make sure you have v0.98B firmware flashed on your device ***
- unplug device from USB port (skip this if your device is password protected),
- My devices -> select device from the list -> Configuration (padlock icon),
- plug device into USB port, wait few seconds,
- press Connect button,
- Change BT name -> enter new name (only a..z, A..Z and 0..9 characters are allowed) -> OK,
- keyboard LEDs will be toggled (Windows only). Wait for a few seconds and unplug device.
Your device may still display old name for some time (cached). Name will be set back to "InputStick" if restore defaults procedure is initiated.
Added system log:
this option can be useful for troubleshooting problems when the device is not connected to PC and not rooted (Logcat output can't be accessed using other apps).
To enable system log go to: Settings -> System log.
To view system log go to: About & Help -> System log.
Note: log is stored in RAM only, it is NOT saved on flash memory. Content of packets is NOT being logged. Logging should be disabled once it is no longer needed. Only last 500 events are kept in log.

ReplyDeleteAny chance to add password protection / encryption, FW-update, device-naming to iOS?
ReplyDeleteI do plan to release app similar to InputStickUtility for iOS.
DeleteUnfortunately the biggest problem here is not the app itself but US export regulations :( If my app uses any kind of encryption, Apple requires me to comply with US export regulations (even though I live in Poland) and go through all the bureaucracy. So at this moment it is really hard to say anything about potential release date.
