Connect a Footswitch
|
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
When working, it is always better to have your two hands available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Odoo’s *IoT Box* and a footswitch will allow it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, you will be able to go from one screen to another by using your
|
|
|
|
|
|
foot and the footswitch. Really convenient, it can be configured in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
few steps.

Connection

|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connecting the footswitch to the *IoT Box* is easy, you just have to
|
|
|
|
|
|
combine the two by cable.

In some cases, a serial to USB adapter may be needed.

If your footswitch is a `supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
one <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`__, there is no need to
|
|
|
|
|
|
set up anything since it will be automatically detected when connected.

If it is not a supported one, you may need to restart the box and
|
|
|
|
|
|
download your footswitch’s drivers from the box. To do so, go to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
*IoT Box Home Page* and click on *drivers list*. Then, click on load
|
|
|
|
|
|
drivers.

Link a Footswitch to a Workcenter
|
|
|
|
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To link the footswitch to an action, it needs to be configured on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
workcenter. Go to the workcenter you want to use the footswitch in and
|
|
|
|
|
|
add the device in the *IoT Triggers* tab. Then, you can link it to an
|
|
|
|
|
|
action and also add a key to trigger it.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Note that the one that is first in the list will be chosen. So, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
order matters! In the picture above, using the footswitch will, for
|
|
|
|
|
|
example, automatically skip the current part of the process you work on.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

When you are on the work order screen, a status button indicates if you
|
|
|
|
|
|
are correctly connected to the footswitch.
