How to use Autohotkey

[stinkfinger]

Hi there, Thank you for this great pice of software!

What is was wondering: I want to touch a tag to Autohotkey. So i can use keydown functions for my projects. http://www.touchatag.com/application/starting-autohotkey-script

How would that be done in IOTOPE ?

So A replay 

It Works!

I had to read the manual better!

This what to do if you want to use the key press action combined to your tag:

First go download the great software of ITOPE:

http://blog.iotope.com/download/ 

Follow the instructions on the site to get it work.

In the software folder go to the BIN folder and execute the software.

You wont see a graphical interface. But just a command prompt that shows activities of your tag reader.

In tour system tray there appeared a icon (orange) go to it and right click on it to go to a web-based interface called "node console"

Now the fun part starts. 

Go download autohotkey  http://www.autohotkey.com  and install it.

Its a program that uses simple scripts to controll your computer and key/ mouse actions.

Make a new script on a location on your computer.

(right click in a folder and choose new... autohotkey script)

Give it a name for example "key_press_a.ahk"

Go right-click on the script you just made and chose to edit.

You'll find the next lines in the script:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;

; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x

; Language:       English

; Platform:       Win9x/NT

; Author:         A.N.Other <mye...@nowhere.com>

;

; Script Function:

; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder)

;

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now edit under those lines:

Send a

return

So you get:

;

; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x

; Language:       English

; Platform:       Win9x/NT

; Author:         A.N.Other <mye...@nowhere.com>

;

; Script Function:

; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder)

;

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Send a

return

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go back to the web editor of IOTOPE

and go to the edit mode.

Chose for an URL and set it to the location of your script:

for example: "file:///D:/autohotscripts/key_press_a.ahk" 

no ""marks!!!

Save values. And you're done.

From now on you can use a tag to hit the "a"key of your keyboard

Greetings Bob

Is there a way to get iotope to pass along the tag number as a argument perhaps?

I'm planning a small maintanence release and will add this feature to the release.

I'll try to release this before the end of the month.
