Use USB port to emulate keyboard

Hi,
Is it possible to to use an USB port of an embedded controller (PXI8108) to replicate a keyboard when plugged into a device expecting
a USB keyboard ?
thanks,
Gary.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From what I understand about USB, I don't think you can do that.
The USB ports on the PXI controller are host ports and as such can't be used as device ports. A keyboard would be a HID device class. Maybe there is some sort of HID emulator that could be placed between the PXI and your UUT that is expecting a USB keyboard...

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

Apple store says ipod mini not working b/c not using usb port 2.0 - true?

My ipod mini (a year old) is frozen/can't be charged. Apple store guy said because I've been using usb port 1.1 and that it is supposed to be used with usb port 2.0. Tells me won't send in for replacement (out of warranty anyway) unless I first update my computer with USB 2.0 card. Is this true?

It's better to use 2.0 because it's faster.
Try resetting it, hold the center [select] button and the menu button until the Apple logo appears. or let the battery die, and then plug it in.

Charge Iphone using usb port vs wall plug charger

I always charge my Iphone 5 to usb port on Macbook pro and leave it 5-6 hour after fully charge. Is there any side effect if I charge my Iphone using usb port instead of wall plug charger. Is it iphone will cut off charging after fully charge?

The iPhone knows when it is charged and will stop charging. No need to worry.

Usb port rejects midi Keyboard saying too much power being used?

Hello,
any one had an issue with their USB plug in device saying that it was drawing too much power so have disabled the device? I bought my son a keyboard for Christmas. However just today it's stopped letting him use the keyboard due to the USB connection failure. Any clues?

This is a common problem with USB ports. The only permanent solution is to create your own powered set of USB ports. You do that with a powered USB hub, any powered USB hub will do. You plug the hub into a wall outlet for power, and to the Mac for connectivity. All your USB devices can then be plugged into the hub without drawing any extra power from the Mac. Cameras, printers, scanners, keyboards, what ever are all plugged into the hub. You can have as many ports as you want!
Examples of USB hubs.

Can I use USB mouse with bluetooth keyboard?

I am in need of some help. I recently got my iMac about 3 months ago and absolutely hate the magic mouse and want to use my rocketfish usb mouse along with the bluetooth mac keyboard. Is this possible or just wishful thinking on my end? I have searched everywhere for drivers and answers with programs etcetera and have came out empty. Help?

I've done so (and even tested it on my Macbook and the USB mouse works fine) but for some reason it will not interface with my iMac - and I've tired multiple USB ports and still nothing, which is why I brought up the keyboard being bluetooth I didn't know if that somehow may interfer with the USB mouse when the bluetooth keyboard is turned on and paired. I am pretty good when it comes to computers so I know what to look for and what I am doing (for the most part) but this has me stumped.

USB 3 hard drive undetected (anywhere) only works if plugged into USB port on apple Keyboard

I have the 2013 Mac Pro: OSX 10.10.2, 512GB SSD, Quad Xeon, Dual D500's.
I am using a (powered by adapter) toshiba 2TB external USB3 HDD
Until last week the hard drive worked fine under OSX, however since then it is completely undetected if plugged into and of the 4 USB ports on the Mac Pro
However if I plug it into one of the two USB ports on my apple wired keyboard (the one with num pad) it it detected and mounts no problem.
Normally only mice work in the keyboard USB ports (if I plug in a USB stick it says something along the lines of not enough power). There is nothing wrong with the hard drive, I've tested it on other computers, also the same thing happens with a 2.5" hdd I have on a SATA to USB adapter. (I do not know if this is USB 2 or 3, but it only functions plugged into the keyboard, and it doesn't have external power, everything is drawn through USB)
Any solutions?
I'm not looking for "ignore the issue and keep plugging it into the keyboard" as I've been told elsewhere, that's not a solution. I'd prefer to sometimes use a wireless keyboard, and therefore do not wish to plug in an additional wired keyboard just to use my hard drives.

Using USB port for dial up networking with mobile phone?

I am thinking of using my mobile phone as a dial up modem when i am away from home and it uses a data cable to the USB port. is there a way to use the USB port on a Mac as your source for the internet?
Thanks
Jason

Using USB port to charge Pearl

I can't find the original post I wanted to comment on so I am just sharing this as a new post. Belkin and several other companies make USB hubs that have AC (110 V) adapters that power them. If you use one of these you will never have the underperformance issues with the 3 volts your PC's USB ports seem to be able to muster. I had problems powering up multiple USB drives and my two phones at the same time before I adopted this fix. Don't have a take on the laptop / phone charger scenario.

The AT300se is really recongnized by the laptop (same when using USB 2.0 or 3.0 port).
I dont have any SDHC or SDXC card on the tablet.
i see a difference with my mobile phone when it s connected i have a new window which appear withe a new letter drive for it.
Nothing happens with the tablet but when i open the explorer on the laptop i see the disk of the AT300 and a new lines appear with removable peripheral .
Thanks for your help

Distortion using USB port for audio output

I did some research in the Mac Mini community regarding the problem I'm experiencing but most of the posts were several years old so I thought I would start a new thread.
I am using one of the USB ports on my 2011 Mac Mini (2.3GHz, i5) to feed a High Resolution Technologies Streamer II USB DAC which then connects to my audio systems integrated amplifier. The issue I'm experiencing is that I am getting distortion when I first open iTunes and start a music track playing. I can hear the music but it is overlayed with this static like distortion. It seems to happen specifically when I first wake the computer from sleep and open iTunes and try to play a track. If I close and reopen iTunes and start a track playing again the distorion usually goes away and all tracks after the initial distortion play fine. I've done troubleshooting with regards to the HRT USB DAC and made sure the Streamer II is operating on its own USB Bus and I've tried a powered USB Hub to feed only the Streamer II but the distortion continues. So aside from the obvious hardware malfunction possibilities I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Thank you,

Charging phone using USB ports while in sleep

Hey guys!
I recently updated my macbook pro mid 2011 to the new operating system: MAVERICKS
I used to do this little handy thing, where i used my mac as a powerbank for my phone once it was empty. I would insert a micro usb cable in one of the usb ports, and it would be active and thus charge my phone....
It worked before, but in mavericks it's gone!
Now it seems like in mavericks the usb-ports aren't powered during sleepmode anymore... how do i change this back?
Thanks in advance!

I run Mavericks, my USB ports charge my iPad and / or iPhone while asleep. The behaviour has not changed.

DSL uses USB port - how can I connect BEFW router

DSL Modem connected to BEFW11s4 V.4 router and desktop computer connected port #1 to Ethernet card ... wireless laptop and wired desktop worked fine.   Then Desktop stopped having a connection ... wireless units worked fine.
Swapped Desktop cable to port #2 .... Port #1 light remained lit although nothing was plugged in to it. Port #2 light didn't light ... and no desktop connection. Wireless still worked.
Connected DSL to desktop ethernet card ... didn't work (no router involved).
Connected DSL to computer thru USB prot ... desktop worked fine   however I saw no way to connect router so wireless would work.
I reset DSL, Router and deleted and re-installed the ethernet card .... reinstalled all software ...   no luck.
Should I gather that I have a router failure in the wired area and the wireless still be working?    I'm at wits end      Any thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks

in rural area .. no doubt about wireless signal being from my router.   I deleted and re-installed ethernet card (HP computer -- ethernet part of motherboard ... not separate card). DSL to ethernet card failed ... "failure to connect".
Used DSL to USB as a last ditch effort...   worked ...   but don't know a way to connect router if using DSL to Desktop thru USB port.
Could ethernet part of motherboard have failed? and rest be working fine?
network connections shows ethernet card and 1394 icon.
ethernet card doesn't show "yellow triangle" in hardware set-up ... but status doesn't show an IP address, subnet mask or default gateway .....   1394 shows no action of any sort.
I may be hopeless ...   maybe a system restore might find what I'm missing??
