GSoC OpenMoko Bluetooth remote controller - First beta package

[Valerio Valerio]

Hi,

the first beta package of ReMoko are available now in:
http://code.google.com/p/remoko/downloads/list

Installation and usage instructions can be reached in this page:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_Bluetooth_remote_controller

I appreciate some feedback, specially from people that can test the app with
Windows Vista and Mac OSX.

The UI still very beta at the moment,  and I need some help to from people
with design skills :

:

Feel free to send me comments and features requests.

Best regards,

Awesome! Very fun to play with. :)


Question: Would it be possible to emulate the Wii Remote? 

Suggestion: Write mac address on the screen when it says "Waiting for
connection ..."

Bugs:

The FSO keyboard has umlauts (äöü) in the Numbers area but they are not
sent to my laptop properly (UTF-8 support seems, I've filed a bug about
this on docs...)

When sending ö xev reports:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2e1,
root 0x5a, subw 0x0, time 322828160, (340,185),
root:(354,275),
state 0x10, keycode 65 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2e1,
root 0x5a, subw 0x0, time 322828162, (340,185),
root:(354,275),
state 0x10, keycode 65 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
XFilterEvent returns: False

The four mouse buttons appear slightly off the screen when it's used in
landscape mode (xrandr -o 1).


Nice work. If the presenter thing was completed, this would even be
useful right away in it's current state. :)

Yes it would be possible, it some accelerometer  work. I have a similar
functionality planed yet

This character are now yet mapped, because my service record are only 101
keys, I have to change it to 104 and map those keys, and it only work with a
reduce number of keyboard layout's in the PC, I think.

My images have the landscape mode broken so I don't test in this mode, I
have to take a look in the ASU image.

While requests are being made, it would be quite useful here to have  
the phone emulate the PS3 remote control.


I haven't looked closely at how the PS3 remote works. Whether it  
pretends to be a keyboard or uses some other bluetooth profile (??).  
The former case would be ideal as I guess it would need only an app  
showing fast-forward, rewind, play buttons that would sit above your  
keyboard emulator and pass their presses to it. I guess that'd be  
outside the scope of your project - not really innovative enough -  
and so maybe someone in the community would be interested in this.  
But if a whole different profile is needed then I would love it if  
you could take a quick look.

The PS3  remote use the default Bluetooth HID, so to add this app I only
need to rip of the Service record from the PS3 Remote and map the keys,
unfortunately I don't have a PS3 near to me and don't have time to look on
this now, but I think is not a difficult work.
