Using hid_listen

Hello,
I'm trying to use hid_listen.mac, downloaded from here - https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/hid_listen.html - but I get the error message "zsh: bad CPU type in executable". I'm using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It's my first time doing anything with Soarer's.
Thanks.

It needs rebuilt for 64 bit to run on Catalina or Big Sur.

Good news: I did that for Soarer's Tools a few months ago! Then forgot to share it. :roll:

I'll upload them in a Workshop thread for everyone and point you to it.

Bad news: I didn't get as far as rebuilding hid_listen.

But! That's because I run QMK Toolbox which has that same functionality + Teensy flashing tools in a nice GUI. Just use that instead. Recommended!

You can run Soarer's Converter just fine without modification. But for any remapping / layers / macros of your own, you need these tools.

Amazing, thank you! Yes, the Soarers is working fine but I'm going to try some remapping and turn the numpad into a permanent navpad (XT layout, and I never use the numpad anyway). I'll check out that link in a bit.. or now.. so tempting to mess around with keyboards all day when working from home.
