Corona® Ultimote v1.4 - New Version!

General (non-technical) New Apps / Works in Progress
#41

Hello Harry,
We replied to your email a few minutes ago.
Some android devices (so far we know of HTC Sensation) have known networking issues. Many remote type applications (like VLC remote) do not work with this phone because of problems receiving UDP broadcasts. Another Corona Devloper, Martin, had the same problems and he was able to fix the problem by applying a UDP broadcast patch as well as tethering his phone.

Have you tried tethering your android? In fact this would provide you the lowest latency connection.

For the manual connection the IP address is the IP of the computer the simulator is running on. The port is displayed when Ultimote loads, we decided not to specify a particular port in case they were blocked or already being used by something else.

Thank you and we apologize for the problem,

Is there a trial version of some sort? I would really love to test and see if the app works before buying it… [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 76872[/import]

Hello Satheesh,

Thank you for your interest in our product. We do not have a trial version yet but it is currently in our plans to make one soon. If you purchase the Android version, we will also send you a promo code for the iOS version and if you do not like it or if your app does not work on it then we can definitely give you a refund.

Thanks,

I wanted to jump in here to relay my (very recent) experience with the Ultimote devs. I had purchased the iOS app and had an issue (which was on my end) getting it connected to my simulator to send and receive events. I contacted the devs and they were incredibly awesome. I was up and running within a few minutes.

Of note for others - I had a virtualbox instance on my windows machine that uses a host adapter in networking. This should be disabled if you have it running as it may interfere with the other (main) network adapter. YMMV.

I can’t recommend this tool enough. It has saved me so much time. It’s really an amazing addition to Corona development and the people behind it are wonderfully refreshing.

My two cents. [import]uid: 42417 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 77113[/import]

Hello Community,

Please ensure that you have a build of Corona SDK that has the json library pre-installed. This is required for using Ultimote.

Thank you,

Hello Community,
Unfortunately there have been problems with Dreamhost recently and our website is currently down. We are working to fix this issue so please be patient.

Update on development:
We will soon be updating the Ultimote networking interface to be using our AutoLAN system, which is a much faster framework than the current version. Hopefully this will solve lag issues that you may be having. This will also have the interesting feature of remote controlling the simulator from the internet. Not sure why you would need it but we are sure someone will come up with a creative use of the feature.
Also, we will release a demo version for people to try before you buy. Most likely it will be a time limit demo.
Thank you,

This is a great tool and it worked great with the demo app. But when I tested out the Shape Tumbler demo - http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/shape-tumbler - and removed every object but one, this is the error I received. Any ideas?

Hello Daniel,
Thank you for your support. Sorry to hear you are having problems but we are currently working on an update that will fix many networking issues that may be a problem. We will be using our AutoLAN interface that is much better than the current methodology. We are also greatly improving the user interface to make it more pleasing to work with. We hope to have it released sometime this weekend.

To address your issue we need more information. Are you trying to stream the images to the device? If so perhaps you should try turning on sendAllObjects mode to prevent sending the images. It will still stream the object bounding boxes. You can do it like this:

ultimote.setOption{sendAllObjects = true}

Let us know if that fixes your problem and thank you for your interest.

Thanks for the reply M.Y.developers. I’m not trying to do anything else besides connect it. Do you have a support email that I can send my current code to? [import]uid: 14218 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 84556[/import]

I must be doing something wrong, I’m not even getting the “waiting for device” message. I have ultimote running on my android, and added the require and .connect() line in my main.lua for ultimote and running in the simulator.

No dice - and unfortunately since the documentation make it sound like it should just work, I’m not even sure where to start troubleshooting.

The “ConnectionDemo” isn’t working for me either, and isn’t giving any sort of “waiting for device” messages in console. [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 87538[/import]

Hello producerism,

Sorry to hear you are having problems.
Android seems to be a problematic platform for us as some phones have bugs with their networking drivers (stuff with UDP broadcasts.) Do you by any chance have an iOS device? We can send you a promo code for the apple app store to see if that works first. Please send us your email as well. If not then send us your phone specs (hopefully not HTC.) We will work with you to get this fixed or refund your money.

Thanks,
M.Y. Developers [import]uid: 55057 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 87574[/import]
