I cannot figure how to get the virtual address of the standard mmap objects in Python (from the mmap module). The documented methods only seem to access the memory as array of bytes or as character strings. But I need to access the mmap'ped memory by precisely 2 or 4 bytes at once - because this memory in my application is mapped to hardware registers (think /dev/mem or GPIO or such). Accessing memory in this way is possible with ctypes module - but for this I need the pointer - or virtual address - of the mapping. Currently I overcome this by using the native open() and mmap() functions from

Is it possible to see the Harrdisk temperature with somekind of S.M.A.R.T API or anything like that? i just want the temp, nothing else in C# Stecya Here is code snippet from this article Hope it helps //S.M.A.R.T. Temperature attribute const byte TEMPERATURE_ATTRIBUTE = 194; public List<byte> GetDriveTemp() { var retval = new List<byte>(); try { ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\WMI", "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData"); //loop through all the hard disks foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get()) { byte[] arrVendorSpecific = (byte[]

How can I capture the hardware keyboard events without using an EditText field? For example, in a simple activity the display a square on the screen, when a "B" is pressed on the slide keyboard I want to turn it blue, when a "G" is presses, turn it Green, etc. I don't need help with the color code, just how to intercept the keypress This is not about the soft or virtual keyboard Android classes usually provide event handlers, you can implement when subclassing them. The Activity class has the following event handlers: onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent
