BT page turn with AirTurn PED 500

Post by doublebassman »

I have looked through the posts and haven't found anything that has helped.
I have a new Bluetooth AirTurn PED 500 and i would like to use it to turn pages. It connects and scrolls through songs, but when I’m in a multiplayer tune, it won’t flip to the next page like when you tap on the bottom/top of the screen.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I have checked that link it seems to be sending up and down arrows as it scrolls through songs. It when I’m in a song with multiple pages, it just highlights a small oval at the top (like to go onto split screen mode) instead of going to the next page.
Thank you for helping!

Up and Down arrows move page by page. Left and Right arrows move from song to song.

I have connected a Bluetooth keyboard and it has the same result as the page turner. The up down or left right arrows do not turn pages, they just highlight a small oval at the top to split the screen.
And ideas?

Using a Bluetooth keyboard only the space bar advances to the next page in a pdf and I don’t see a way to go back a page.
Am i doing something incorrectly ?

What device are you using and the version of the OS?

If this is an iPad, even with iPadOS26 we so no deviation from the behavior of the keystrokes from a Bluetooth keyboard.

Up and Down arrows move page by page. Left and Right arrows move from song to song.

I’m using an iPad Pro OS version 18.6.2 with a Omoton generic Bluetooth keyboard to test.
I set the AirTurn to send a spacebar command when pressed and it’s now working to go to the next page in a pdf.
I’m still not able to find a key or key combination that will turn back to the previous page.
This is how it’s working with this setup. Thank you for helping with this!

Maybe you should trying resetting your AirTurn PED 500. It should be operating in Mode 2 where it sends Up and Down arrows.

PED 500 Manual

It sounds like you have some keyboard remapping going on if a bluetooth keyboard is sending down arrows when you press the space bar.
