Simple request, not answered from a search of the list archive:

How do I translate the data value output from the hi object to ascii 

i would like to make use of a second keyboard to send data to the key 

How do I translate the data value output from the hi object to ascii  
numbers?

i would like to make use of a second keyboard to send data to the key  
object.

I think you might need to roll your own lookup table using coll. At least for me (Macbook Pro, OS 10.4.8) hi reports "chords" as well as individual keys, so you'll have to filter those out.

put [route 10] after [hi] and feed into a coll object with this collection:

(I know this doesn't solve your problem, but answers the question ;-)

Either the keyboard is recognized as such, then your OS will send it 

automatically to key, or you just translate them yourself (with a coll).

There is no need (and no possibility) to send anything to the key 

object. Instead you can use a receive "allmykeys" instead of the key 

object and one send "allmykeys" connected to key, one to your Hi

object and one send "allmykeys" connected to key, one to your Hi 
translator to combine them...
