I'm still trying to find suitable NIDED package to install and run on
QTMoko v16b. Any ideas where and how. Do I need to add a special feed
?

Any idea if it is possible or how I can install this on QTMoko V16 ?

Hi Martin,

You showed it to me at the 26c3 and we made a debian package of it,
remember ?

I finished it and it will be in hackable:1 daily repos soon.

I'll send you a mail with a patch for a Makefile.

Re: New project openmokontrol

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I have now resolved this issue and
I just wanted to clear up that it had nothing to do with NIDED or
uinput module on the host. Both seem to be running happily now,
although I'm yet to install a wifi manager on my FR to get wifi
working and then NIDE client running.

Now I am really straying OT, but now that I have followed the make and
make install steps for nided and modprobe for uinput, I seem to have
hosed my mythtv frontend which boots through to X but then sits there
waiting and never brings up the main myth menu and no longer responds
to my usb attached mouse or keyboard. Anyway won't bore this group and
I'll go an debug what's up or take it to mythtv group.

Re: New project openmokontrol

[hab keen oh ne]

Ofc, this is possible. But to implement this, I would have to know, which 
action causes which event. Maybe it is best, if you tell me the specific 
applicaton which is to be controlled? Perhaps it will turn out to be a 
motivation for me...

+1

and mouse (touchpad or normal, accelerometer based 'moving' not
'rotating')

nide/nided look very close except you need to setup service, but not
exactly universal usb device.

interesting can it OM function as 'multipurpose device' - cdc-ether and
usb mouse/kbd?

interesting task, I'll start to investigate/do prototype.

I also didn't know about that application (time for the new opkg.org)

but I also have a small off topic question:
does anybody know of a way to make the FR act like a USB keyboard?
I would very much like a small device which I can plug into any machine/host
and that will be recognised as an USB keyboard

Great work, thanks for this.

At the risk of straying somewhat off topic, I would love to have an
app on the FR to allow me to use the FR as a remote control for my
MythTV front-end albeit accelerometers not really needed, although
some gestures could be useful down the track.

Does anyone know if there is something already available which I could
get going on the FR ? The following thread
   http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5045&highlight=wifi
talks of mythwifi and I know mythtv supports a telnet interface but
all a little out of my depth

Hi, Martin.

I just wanted to do some similar experiment (in a bit other way than
NIDE and remoko), so I download your code to check it out. I compiled it
for debian, noticed several problems:

1. missing makefile, had to build it with g++ *cc -o kontrol -Iaux
-lXtst

2. missing #include  in accs.cc.

and finally, didn't understand how to use it in 'normal' mode. my server
connection is ok (I can run xterm on FR with DISPLAY set to host), but
nothing happens on host with mouse pointer then I am running application
on freerunner.

I just replaced the ipk file, now it installs under SHR.

the ipk look a bit suspicious to me but extracting manually did the
job, all is running well on shr-u. i don't know lfs but tux racer
(extreme tux racer - etracer in debian) was great for testing. :)

i think now it sends only left-right with arrows? later up/down for
speeding/slowing would be great too :)
