Hi all, I'm currently stuck on the exact same thing. I'm not using NVDA, but I'm trying to use brltty directly from an application I'm developing. I have the same braille display and I couldn't get it to work either. I have first tried USB and later on COM using a USB->COM adapter. Below is my output from an attempt to run brltty in debug mode from the command line. Today I've tried a different (older) ALVA device which only has a COM connection but also without any luck.
I'm using the (unofficial) Windows release of 3.10 Thijs C:\brltty\bin>brltty -bal -ldebug -e -dserial:COM1 BRLTTY 3.10 [http://mielke.cc/brltty/] C:\brltty\bin>BRLTTY 3.10 [http://mielke.cc/brltty/] brltty.exe: Working Directory: C:\brltty\etc\brltty brltty.exe: Writable Directory: C:/brltty/bin/../lib/brltty/rw brltty.exe: Configuration File: ../etc/brltty.conf brltty.exe: Data Directory: C:/brltty/bin/../etc/brltty brltty.exe: Library Directory: C:/brltty/bin/../lib/brltty brltty.exe: Tables Directory: C:/brltty/bin/../etc/brltty brltty.exe: Text Table: text.nabcc.tbl brltty.exe: Attributes Table: attributes.tbl brltty.exe: Contractions Directory: C:/brltty/bin/../etc/brltty brltty.exe: Contraction Table: none brltty.exe: checking for screen driver: wn brltty.exe: initializing screen driver: wn brltty.exe: checking braille device: serial:COM1 brltty.exe: checking for braille driver: al brltty.exe: initializing braille driver: al -> serial:COM1 brltty.exe: serial device opened: COM1: fd=1816 brltty.exe: braille driver initialization failed: al -> serial:COM1 brltty.exe: braille driver not found brltty.exe: Braille Display Dimensions: 1 row, 80 columns brltty.exe: shifts: fwin=80 hwin=40 vwin=5 On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 10:27 AM, Hermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I forward a message I sent to the NVDA list regarding braille support of > NVDA via brltty and an USB connection. > I've set up brltty and libusb-win32 according to the instructions given by > the NVDA team. > I use an Alva Satellite 544 connected via USB.
