Hoi John,

Is het met jou eigengemaakte software voor de panic button ook mogelijk een muisklik in te stellen? Ik wil hem namelijk gebruiken om in een programma de muisklik te activeren, er is voor deze handeling helaas geen sneltoetscombinatie.

John,

I have a software development proposal for you. An interesting little project, probably wouldn’t take you too much time.

Would love for you to get in contact so that we can discuss it properly, feel free to email me.

Regards
Jonathan Stroud

heey john,

die panic button heb je die al werkend gekregen op vista 64 bit.. ik krijg hem namelijk niet aan de praat…

Hallo John,
Mijn complimenten voor de USB panic button software. Helaas krijg ik hem voor mijn panic button niet aan de gang (waarschijnlijk een ander merk).
Ik wil zelf ermee aan de slag, maar…
Ik het moeilijk om een soortgelijk programma voor dit voor mijn button te maken?
Hoe kan ik dit het beste aanpakken?

Alvast bedankt, Fred

Hallo Fred,
welk merk heb je dan? Bij het schrijven van mijn software heb ik dankbaar gebruik gemaakt van de software op deze pagina: http://www.lvr.com/hidpage.htm Wat je in ieder geval nodig hebt is de Product en VendorID van jouw button, die kun je vinden in de device manager.
Succes!

Hoi John,
Ik zie niet direct Product en VendorID maar wel iets wat er op lijkt:
Device Instance ID
HID\VID_2000&PID_BEBA\7&E3E5109&0&0000

Hardware ID
HID\Vid_2000&Pid_beba&Rev_0110
HID\Vid_2000&Pid_beba
HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_KEYBOARD
HID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0006
HID_DEVICE

Is dit wat je bedoeld?

Alvast bedankt, Fred

Beste John,

Ik lees dat jij met de panic buton aardig wat foefjes hebt uitgehaald.
Wij willen voor ons bedrijf de buton zo activeren dat je terecht komt op onze website. Nu is het niet mogelijk om een internet link aan vast te zetten. Heb jij tips omdat wel te kunnen doen?

mvg Harold

Hi John, would you ever consider sharing your source for your “Silverlight Fastfood” project? Or at least a portion of it. I am most interested in the clipping animations you used to create the slot machine spool. Very nice.

Thanks,
David Sandor

Hello, I have recently gotten the Satzuma USB missile launcher. (grey w/ white foam missiles) I have the orginal cd but the drivers and program do not work with windows vista 64 bit. I was wondering if you have heard of or seen a driver and interface for this USB gadget. I would appreciate any help you can provide me.
Thank you.
Nicholas

Hello John!

I am hoping to use the USB Panic Button hack you created at a Halloween event that I’m putting on for kids. What would really make it great would be the ability for the button to select a random audio file from a particular folder each time the button is pressed. Even better would be if the picture coincided with the audio (Frankenstein photo with Frankenstein audio, Ghost jpg with a ghostly sound, etc.) Any quick fixes or batch files that would do the trick? Thanks so much!

Hi Brian, when do you need this software?

@admin Hi…so sorry, didn’t notice the reply right away. I was going to try to use it this weekend, but the event is two weekends. I could still use it next weekend if this weekend is too soon. Thanks for the reply. Thank you in advance for anything you can do.

By the way, I’d be happy to send you a ‘thank you’ gift if you simply provide me with a means of sending it to you. Thanks again!

@Brian I have a surprise for you! Just take a look at my latest post. Have a very happy Halloween!

Hi John,
I’m a media artist, and for a new project of mine I would like to hack the USB Panic Button. Before going this route I would like to ask for your feedback and advice. Could you email me and let me know where I could send a few specific questions to you? I can also offer some more info about my project, I just prefer not to mention it here in a comment, before it’s official.

Hi John,
I’m very interested in getting a few of the USB Panic Button as gifts for a few friends of mine this Christmas. A few of them have Apple macbooks/iMac computers, apart from a reference to using Applescript instead of .bat files, I have not been able to confirm whether the USB Panic Button will work in MacOSX. I’d appreciate any info you can offer on this. Thank you.

@Christian
Sorry, it will not work in MacOSX. But I have seen it working on a Mac in a virtual Windows XP machine…

Zo dus als ik dit goed heb voor de USB Panic Button of apparaaten overeenkomend met HID (human interface device) ondersteuning. Kunnen gewoon via de windows API toeghankelijk worden ?
Als ik dit eerder had geweten

Handig deze site >.<!

John

Thanks for the very useful panic button kit. I am using it to advance Powerpoint.
However i wanted to expand it to allow a longer hold on the button to pause the slide show.
The trace reveal a 1 from the USB button ONLY on release (mouse up) which seems strange.

It seems to be a hardware issue, not a software one ?
Why have a Panic button that does nothing while the button is down…

Thanks

hi John!!
very big senks about software panic button!!!
it is great programm)))best regards from Moscow))

Hi John,

Really liked your section regarding “RandomImageWithSound.exe” but couldn’t get it to run.

Made folders for ‘commands’ and ‘images’ and one for audio labelled???

But still nothing, what am i doing wrong here?

Ultimately I wouldn’t mind running one of my hta’s.

Using WinXp Pro (SP2) …

Cheers,
Jeff.

p.s: fyi panic button happens to work on WinME without an .ini

hi john
i would like to use the button to start the “sparkbooth.com” Photobooth app… The button should only work as a “space key” emulation to start the process. Is there a coded program for this?
best, jens

Panic Button now recognised under recent Linux Kernels.
The panic button from “Dream Cheeky” (actually a button marked STRESS) sends scan codes of LSHIFT+LALT+P and is attached by default to the input stream / event device. SO.. with xmodmap one can re-program it to do anything.
