Hello !
I want to increase and decrease the FAN Speed of a fan connectred to the Matrix Orbital MX2 Display by pressing the right and left keys on the display.
What event in the Screen Builder do I have to set ?

The GPO must be in advanced mode (Con fig screen) Then use an event "SYS-On Keypad press" along with "GPO->Advancded->PWM Increase" (This is off the top of my head)

Where is that picture...
it took me quite some time to figure it out:
i found them through my events in LCDC (weather for F1and F2, Pause for the enter,...).
Should be in the 'Guides' section if you aske me.

You can assign any key to any event, simply go into the paramter field for a keyboard event, then press the key on the keypad you want to envoke that action (Preview must be on).

Hi,
I knew that already, but I got me a separate keypad (housing, keys, all in for a small price). Problem is: if I assign something to Q - F2 : it works.
If I assign to 4 on my numpad (or directly on my keyboard): nothing happens.
Tested it with turning a GPO on/of. In VirtualDJ it works (for skipping, next track,...).
How come the LCDC doesn't do it? It's the software, I defined an event, and it won't do it. Where do things go wrong? I assume LCDC gives its "4" to the MX212, and then what?
FOUND A WAY

Hi,
I activated the "hot" plugin.
Through hotkeys I can define actions for my numpad now.
Still wander why it doesn't work without the plugin (through direct input of "4".
BTW, I have to stop the display just to type a "4", if not: my led's blink like hell but that's it....
really need to think it over... 4... ahhh... above and between e and r is another 4 available. Another asci for the pc but not for me.
Pfff...

Keypad input is NOT for your PC's keyboard, only input via the LCD keypad. You CAN assign Hot-Keys (e.g. CTLR-f12) to do things using the HOT plugin as mention before.
