Blindstation
============

This is the demo version of the TIM platform.

To run the platform, just launch the `blindstation.exe` program.

The screen, mouse, joystick and sound systems should be automatically
configured according to your system. However the braille library has
to be manually configured since there is no way to automatically
detect a braille display (see the procedure below).

Currently the speech synthesis and concept keyboards sub-systems are
not integrated in the platform. This sub-systems however are already
working and shouldn't be long to incorporate.

This demo only shows an example of each fonctionality of the
platform. A serie of tests is launched with a small text describing
what is going on.


Control
=======

You can put the display in full screen by pressing the F1 key.

You can leave the platform by pressing the F4 key.


Configuring braille
===================

To configure the platform braille display support, you need to modify
the file `braille/libbraille.conf`. In this file the parameter
braille-device correspond to the type of braille display.

Currently, the supported braille displays are :

Alva (ABT3xx/Delphi)
BrailleLite 18
BrailleLite 40
BrailleNote
Tieman CombiBraille
EcoBraille displays
EuroBraille displays
HandyTech
MDV braille displays
Papenmeier displays
TSI (PowerBraille/Navigator)
BAUM Vario

You can also configure the braille table that is used.
