Cmote - a multitouch/accelerometer remote for the Corona® SDK

HI,

i bought it … it works.

Some Improvements:

1.)
Could you prevent it from sleep! If i connect and just use the Automatic Accelerometer
i goes to sleep and lost the connection.

2.) how did you create the computer to computer network and connect your iphone?

Thx!

Hi Alen,

  1. Sleep is controlled by the iPhone settings. If your not interacting with the app, iOS will put the device to sleep. You will have to change the settings on you phone.

  2. Either from the airport status in the menu bar:
    click and select create network

or
under System Preferences -> Network:
click the Network Name pull down and there should be an option to create a network

‘ifconfig -a’ from a terminal window to identify the IP address of your machine

Didn’t know about that :). I will add an option to disable the idle timer in the next update.
Thanks,

Hi, cmote is working great but I was wondering if there was anyway to setup a connection when I am at a public wifi spot because that’s where I usually work.

As long as your laptop and ipod/iphone are on the same network you should just be able to connect to the IP your laptop was assigned.

Hi Jon, even on my home network, I had to forward the port before it would work… and since this is a public wifi, I can’t do any port forwarding? I’m not very familiar with networking and such so I’m not quite sure. [import]uid: 74346 topic_id: 10056 reply_id: 45300[/import]

As long as both devices are connected to the same wifi hotspot, just enter the IP of your laptop into cmote. (you can get the IP from either the Network Utility or type ‘ifconfig’ in a terminal window).
If your having to forward the port at home, this would probably mean your connecting from outside of your home network into your home network.

Are you using wifi on your iphone/ipad or the 3g/data network? [import]uid: 51968 topic_id: 10056 reply_id: 45307[/import]

Hi Jon,

I usually work at a local starbucks and their at&t wifi doesn’t let me connect cmote to my laptop for some reason. I do use ‘ipconfig’ to get my ip and i always connect to the wifi on my iphone.

I went to another coffee shop and their public wifi worked for the cmote, so I’m guessing it’s only at&t?

Thanks,

You could always use an Ad Hoc network between your iphone and laptop when you want to use cmote. You would lose the public wifi though and would have to switch back and forth as needed.

this app really should be in http://www.anscamobile.com/corona/tools/ i can’t find a reason why it is not there yet if it’s been out for a while now and it’s really really helpful.

Also you should ask for a subforum. It’s just my opinion [import]uid: 53744 topic_id: 10056 reply_id: 46750[/import]

Good idea.

Ansca,

Can Cmote be added to the 3rd party tools page and have a subforum created?

If this isn’t the right way to request this can somebody point me in the right direction.
