jh15 i'm perplexed, i thought we had told you about the old-releases several times, sorry we didn't catch that in the irc.

Hope it's working now for you,

Don't have a good service for downloads, but get it while you can on filebin....

Maybe one of the admin's can put this in a better place?

http://filebin.ca/vsrwst/Orbiter

Your Gyration 3101 remote will not work anymore if you use this.

Code: [Select]

Kill the orbiter with killall Orbiter
Copy the download Orbiter to /usr/pluto/bin/

Orbiter will restart itself after several seconds

Just wanted to say that i succesfully built the Orbiter without the GenericHIDInterface and it's working great now.

No more dual touches or weird reactions from the touch screen.

Thanks Tschak909 for pointing this out.

The Orbiter is 28Mb, so i can't add it here, but pm me, or see if i'm in IRC to get the Orbiter binary.

i've been using the android orbiter and it works great, i do believe that the screen should be restricted to landscape, since the portrait just scales the image..... or maybe the portrait image can be set to not scale it.

It just looks wrong and it's hard to make selections, however if it would cover the full screen, it would be great for one handed operation.

What do you all think of this.

I have played with HADesigner a bit and will try to fix the layout a little if that's the more desired action to take.

BTW the  orbiter i am using is 720x480 and i'm using a droidx

Users / Touch screens

« on: November 22, 2010, 04:33:10 am »

Hey,

Anybody else using touchscreens for the onscreen orbiters?

I have acquired 2 touch screens, one will go in the kitchen and i really don't want to have another remote in that room, it will get lost

The touch screen works..... but.... it seems that when you touch, the touch will activate a click on the current screen AND a click on the next screen that comes up next. e.g. if i'm in remote and i "touch" the home button, it will go to the home screen, but it will also go to the lights screen (what's normally the "more" button). So it clicks on the current screen AND on the next screen. i would like to adjust this behaviour, but not sure where to look.

Can anybody shed some light,

Thank you,

Richard

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Also look at this post, there is an example of somebody's sources.list that is working.

Use this commercially, that is already proven but you will have to deal with "licensing" which is hard to get

With this "Open Source" stuff you have to be Patient.......
and patience is a virtue, you just proved that again.

Darrenmason, it works great with this last version.

As far as options for tracking location, not sure what could be beneficial to that.

I would like to see the app expand with notifications, etc....
e.g. 10:15 front door opened
       10:17 front door closed
       11:15 motion detected (and house in "Away" mode)
etc...

How about you make a backup of your install before you start "jacking it up", that way you can revert easily

commsbyte,

This works much better, still a little laggy for me, but much better then before. I do not care about the sound either, this is just for testing stuff.

I added this to the wiki for virtualbox.

Thanks,

Darren,

Some more testing done. I made my orbiter 720x480. I noticed that when i start it in Landscape, everything looks nice and normal, in portrait it's all scaled in.

I can actually go from landscape to portrait without it crashing, but trying to go from portrait to landscape i get the force close.

Touches are very accurate and everything i have seems to be working.

Darrenmason, i got this log, hope it helps you. It starts with me downloading the log collector, then i open the android app, rotate it to landscape..... it crashes.... rotate back to portrait hit force close and start the log collector to get this data.

Hope you can make sense of it
