Amazing! Now the person can even wake the Kindle up from sleep using their voice! .. although that will only work if the SSH connection has already been established before the Kindle went to sleep. You can't connect via SSH while it's sleeping. Although with UDP....

I've added a primitive RemoteCommandEntry feature to the existing launchpad code.
When started, it now joins the 239.1.2.3 multicast group and listens for UDP packets on port 10000 of usb0 interface. Each packet (can be up to 1024 bytes in length). When RCE enabled, the contents of every incoming packet gets conveyed to the system shell. All RCE parameters mentioned above are controlled by rce.ini configuration file. |

Amazing! Thank you so much! Can't wait to try it out.
You say it listens on usb0? Does that mean it wont receive packets sent over WIFI? |

But you can try. Just set proper interface name in rce.ini and kick the launchpad using Shift Shift Space Don't forget that by default you have to enable the RCE first by sending a packet containningstart RCE string.

If you want a voice control on Kindle, why don't you do it on the Kindle itself.
The Kindle has a built in microphone, which is accessible on Kindle using the alsalib. Porting a simple phrase recognition software from Linux to Kindle is not a big deal. A good candidate may be http://www.kiecza.net/daniel/linux/ Vojtech |

I can't get Launchpad's RCE to work
Quote:
Spoiler:
I have opened the port in the firewall: Spoiler:
And I am using This freeware UDP test tool to send UDP packets (containing shell commands) to the Kindle. My wlan0 interface seems healthy: Spoiler:
It recieves unicast UDP packets on port 10000: Spoiler:
Per launchpad instructions, I tried enabling the RCE by first sending a packet containning the "start RCE" string. To no avail. The Kindle doesn't seem to receive UDP packets multicasted to 239.1.2.3:10000 Spoiler:
Can you help me spot what is missing? Edit 2011-12-05 thread moved to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=159903 Last edited by PoP; 12-10-2011 at 08:14 AM. Reason: not to hichjack |

Similar problems for disabled.
hi Acorn. Can you check out Amazon.co thread Voice activated Kindle for disabled. Coz put out a plea for their Mom who is paralyzed for such. So much help, suggestions etc has been put forward I can identify a large market worldwide for people with neurological,muscular,skeletal disabilities I gave a range of examples that's not a finite list and sent it to the Kindle team they say they will look at it but I worry that may be a statement to pacify me as nothing else came back. I have serious arthritis and it would benefit me too. I also think the gimmick of voice activated ereaders would be a novelty for all ages too. Please join the forum and also put requests in to Amazon kindle team if enough ask they may listen. there is an app for PC called Dragon that dictates directly onto computer and I wondered if this would be any use as a start point?

UPDATE: Although this was true for the older kindles, it seems that wifi is disabled when the new K4NT and Touch go to stand-by mode. Last edited by geekmaster; 01-24-2012 at 05:23 PM. |

http://nc110.sourceforge.net/ On the Kindle end of things, see if it was included in your Busybox build. (/bin/busybox will list everything included) NetCat is a very old, very basic, networking tool - you can find builds of it for any operating system that might be in use to talk to the Kindle. What NetCat does is tie stdin/stdout to a network socket, either TCP or UDP What you send to its stdin goes out on the network, what it receives appears on its standard out. Ask google about: "netcat" If you need any sort of stateful communications (state-machine) try NetExpect. That probably isn't on your Kindle - you may have to add it. Another (good) choice for maintaining state (at either end) is to do it in Lua. The Lua vm is already installed on your Kindle (at least the ones I know of). And Lua is available for anything you might possibly be using to talk to the kindle. Lua + NetCat will handle just about any network remote control situation you can dream up. Another thing to check on your Kindle - See if the network bridge is included in your kernel build. Then just bridge all of your interfaces into one, talk to the bridge - the bridge will send your packet out usb0, wan0, 3G, etc - whatever you have bridged together - as appropriate at the moment for you. Think of it as a network bridge box (it is). |
