Can you think of any way to get KOReader to respond to a hardware page turn button? I'd like to hack one into my kobo, I'm good with hardware but not sure where to start with getting the software to respond.
I know that there's a serial port inside most kobos, I wonder if there's a way to get it to turn pages with a command through serial. If that was possible I could use an attiny, and that would probably fit inside the case.
- abawany 10y agoUnfortunately, I don't have any good ideas there. It seems to me that emulating the IR sensor trigger for a mid-right or mid-left touch is the first approach I would try. My next attempt would comprise of adding a cheap device to the USB port and look into writing a driver to interact with it. Mobileread.com/forums has an active Kobo forum and I suspect they might be able to help better.
