When the configurator saves the configuration, it save an XML file, along with a content directory that contains other directories and files such as images and fonts. Copy the XML file and not the content directory, you didnt complete the copy, things wont work.

"MDX Program File" is Fusion Control Centre UberMDX.exe

You can save over that file if you really want to, but then you dont have a program any more and nothing will work.

MDX's directory is the entity that contains Fusion Control Centre UberMDX.exe directly (not within another directory). You could have it saved in the default location "C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\MDX" or you can save it to F:\Fluffy Bunny\ it doesnt matter as long as it is where you installed the program to.

If your program installed to F:\Fluffy Bunny\ and you save your configuration file to Z:\Doom, then how will the program in Fluffy Bunny know to look in one of a billion directories on your computer, the internet, your network, your flash drives, everything to find that one specific file on Z:\Doom???. Common sense dictates it will not search the universe for 1 file, it will instead read what it can from the Fluffy Bunny directory.

So save whereever you like, but to get it to work, you better save it where the program is installed to.

MDX FOLDER ONLY ALLOWS ONE CONFIGUATOR FILE , so how am I going to get he brain to see the values? Since I can change the current file in mdx folder?

did you get any "a"'s in the notepad as he said it would?

**Urbanmindz** · 11-12-2008, 07:08 PM

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Opps sorry, did not close MDX lol.. Ran your test and i got a's but only when i made the note pad (and this text box) the focus...

I also created my own and did a DeBug on in and it was working with my virtual brain...

no, I SAVED the new file like you said, not as note pad, xl .

how can i delay the time between presses? and if possible can you explain a little bit more on how i can get this done

if voltage > threshold, then increment a variable.
If (voltage < threshold && variable > 0), then varaible = 0 and send key B.
If (voltage > threshold && variable == 0), then send key A.
if voltage < threashold, then variable = 0

2k1 posted that for me but i am confused on how to implement it.

THanks and sorry to bother soo much..
