In this example, the device is seen as an HID keyboard.
When a pin (in this case RA3) is sensed low, a CTRL+SHIFT+1 keypress is sent to the OS.

Code comes from the hid_mouse example.

if(PORTAbits.RA3 != button){
button = PORTAbits.RA3;
buf[0] = (!button?0x03:0x00); // modifier (shift+ctrl)

Hi,

Hi!
I don't know if I'm blind or I don't have the sufficient coding skills but I'm still unable to see anything that confirms your statement. In the line 39 of the code you provided there is a commented line which says:

0x03 // Keyboard Error Undefined

And no other 0x03 is found in the whole file. Am I missing something?

Hi!
Byte 0 is reserved for modifier mask. In my code, 0x01 (lctrl) is OR'ed with 0x02 (lshift) to provide ctrl+shift modifier (0x03).
The 0x03 you are referring to is related to scan codes (bytes 2 to 7).
