Élan Cybra

The élan Cybra is a student writer.

Configuring with Plover
There are two I/O ports on the back of the Cybra: a serial port and a USB-B port. Either can be used with Plover.

Using the serial port
Unless you have a serial port directly on your computer, you will probably need a USB-serial adapter. Plug the Cybra into the wall, which will turn the writer on. Then, press and hold the second button from the left, to the left of the screen, and with that button held, press the third button from the left. This switches the writer to serial mode, which will communicate using the TX Bolt protocol. You'll see an additional icon on the screen when the writer is in this mode.

Using the USB-B port
The Cybra can also use the stenograph protocol over USB, using a USB A-B cable. This mode requires the Stenograph USB plugin to be installed.
