Hmm, so you're saying that the device sends keyboard events. How did
you find out which kind of data it sends out?
Sending out midi note events is easy with RTMidi, check out the
section on midi out section. It contains a section on MIDI note output.
I don't have much experience on grabbing keyboard type events using a
daemon. I would recommend finding a cross platform solution. If not
try finding out how to read keyboard events while being a daemon.
Like a keylogger I guess.
C++ isn't much of a jump from C so it should be easy to pick up and go.
Is the problem to get the key events? For old computers using other
kernels, but not Linux, you only need to take a look at the buffer for
pushed keys. I guess somebody here knows how to fetch events form the
Linux keyboard buffer, but I don't think that this can be handled on
real-time.
Without knowledge, I'm just speculating ... will it be possible to use
Rui's rtirq to give keyboard events the highest priority?
