Labview to trigger keyboard press

[johnsmith123]

Hello, 

We are working on a project where we control a game of Pac-man using an accelerometer. We plan to feed the accelerometer signal into Labview, and then have Labview trigger a keyboard press of the left, right, up, or down key depending on the signal. How would we get Labview to trigger a keyboard press based on the signal it is receiving? 

Thank you

Hi JS,

search for topics about "simulating keypress" and you will find ready-to-use functions based on Windows key events…

Hi GerdW,

Would you mind linking to one of these posts you're referencing? I searched for "simulating keypress" but most of the topics seemed to be about receiving keyboard input to trigger a Labview event, not the other way around.

Thank you,
