Connectivity
3.1 Connection Between XCover Pro and SKXPro
Once the XCover Pro is assembled with the SKXPro, the two will be connected via USB and the connectivity
will be HID connectivity by default. This allows the SKXPro to function as a keyboard.
The SKXPro is also able to utilize Serial connectivity. Please see the section below for a brief explanation of the
difference between each connectivity mode.
a. HID Connectivity: Allows one-way USB communication. The SKXPro only transmits data to
the host device, XCover Pro.
b. SERIAL Connectivity: Allows two-way USB communication. The SKXPro transmits data to
the host device, XCover Pro and the host device can transmit data/control back to the
SKXPro.
Note:HID inputs data directly into an application. SERIAL requires the KOAMTAC SDK to
input data into an application. To gain access to the SDK, please complete the form here:
https://www.koamtac.com/sdk/
3.2 Connection Between XCover Pro and PC
If you want to access the XCover Pro while attached to the SKXPro, you can use USB port at the back of
SKXPro. (see item ⑧from the diagram at the chapter 1.1)
