Hmmm, i thought that each inividual bluetooth device got its own configuration file in .btpt, so you can map each key to do whatever you want, for each device, supposedly?

I've been thinking of picking up one of these (in yellow). Has anyone opened one of these and taken a photo? That way we can see if/how easy it would be to mod.

Mine's yellow because yellow is the best damn colour ever Huzzah.
I can have a look at opening it up for you, just so you can see! I got a "faulty" one and after trying to work out how to fix it for a few hours, gave up and decided to just use the "incorrect" Linux event codes in my configuration file. (It works fine, i am just annoyed that the buttons were mapped wrong )

So i mapped the controller and got the event codes and created my config file and it looks like this:

prevPage EV_ABS ABS_Y 65535
nextPage EV_ABS ABS_Y 0
prevPage EV_ABS ABS_X 0
nextPage EV_ABS ABS_X 65535
prevPage EV_KEY BTN_SOUTH 0
nextPage EV_KEY BTN_NORTH 0
prevPage EV_KEY BTN_C 0
nextPage EV_KEY BTN_EAST 0

Which is fine and it all works and whatever. There are just so many nice buttons and i was hoping to use them for something else - specifically, i was hoping to use the X axis arrow keys to incrementally change brightness, and then mess around with it again if anything else that was cool to do occured to me.

So my question is: How did we find out about "nextPage" and other ReadingView method codes? Are there more codes like this that control things when in reading view, like brightness, font size, etc? For example, in the Bluetooth Page Turner documentation, "nextChapter" is also mentioned. Where are these codes found? I'd love to see what other ReadingView method codes exist to play with them.
