Wireless Keyboard Testing for Batteroo Batterisers

It's quick and dirty right now!

TODO:

• Focus on Linux version for use with Raspberry Pi

Updates

• Windows 0.1 binary released: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wireless-keyboard-batt-testing/
• Linux version now captures start time and time of last keystroke
• Linux version - space bar gives progress report without updating last keystroke time or counting a keystroke (useful when you switch batteries with fresh ones - just press space bar to to report without updating the last keystroke time)

Thoughts

• Hook up a wireless keyboard to a Raspberry Pi
• More discussion at EEVBlog Batteroo testing http://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/batteroo-testing/

Windows

For everyday users, download the binary. https://sourceforge.net/projects/wireless-keyboard-batt-testing/ Just unzip and extract, and double click "tester.exe"

For developers, to make life easier, use python 2.7 - 32 bit edition

Install pyhook for python 2.7 32 bit from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyhook or https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyhook/

Python extensions for windows https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/?source=typ_redirect

It still complained, so I also ran: pip install pypiwin32

Linux

Requires Python and Xlib

Download both files, put in same directory, from a terminal run: python tester.py

Written for Python 2.7

Mac

I don't have a Mac. I have access to one now and then, so I can whip up something quick. But hard to maintain.

Help is welcome!
