Why won't my X-keys Foot Pedal work with my CourtSmart software?

Quick Answer:

Verify that your X-keys Footpedal is operating in the correct mode by plugging it into your computer and gently lifting the center pedal to check the LEDs inside.

  • If only the green LED is turned on then your device is operating in the correct mode, and should work automatically with the CourtSmart software. Since P.I. Engineering is only the hardware manufacturer, you should contact CourtSmart for any further technical assistance.
  • If both LEDs are turned on then your device is not operating in the correct mode and you should follow the instructions listed in the "Further Reading" section below:

Converting Your X-keys Foot Pedal to the Correct Operating Mode:

To interface with the CourtSmart software your X-keys Foot Pedal must be operating in the default SPLAT Mode. If your X-keys Foot Pedal is not operating in SPLAT Mode, please follow these instructions to properly convert your X-keys device to the correct operating mode

  1. Download and install the X-keys 4004 driver from the following link: http://xkeys.com/download/TechSupport/Xkeys4004.zip

  2. Once this software is installed, plug the X-key in. You will also need to put the X-keys programming switch into the programming position. The programming switch is a slide switch on the circuit board under the center pedal. Carefully pry the center pedal up until you can see the circuit board. The switch is to the left of green and red LED indicator lights. (Click on the following link for a picture and more details for the programming switch: http://www.x-keys.com/support/progswi.php)

Further Technical Assistance:

Unfortunately since P.I. Engineering is only the hardware manufacturer, we are unfamiliar with the intricacies of the CourtSmart software, and we are only able to verify that the footpedal is operating in the correct mode.

For further technical assistance please contact CourtSmart's technical support specialists.
