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 thought that the Kindle turned of WiFi (and thus connection to SSH) when it went into stand-by mode...

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?

That, probably, doesn't mean so. I'm unable to check that -- my device has its WiFi turned off forever.

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 containning
start 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

I can't get Launchpad's RCE to work

I have configured my RCE.ini parameters as follows:
Spoiler:

[RemoteCommandEntry]

;; comment out AutoEnable and enableRCE definitions below
;; in order to fully disable the RCE feature

AutoEnable = yes
enableRCE = start RCE
disableRCE = stop RCE

Interface = wlan0
MulticastGroup = 239.1.2.3
Port = 10000

I have opened the port in the firewall:
Spoiler:

iptables -A INPUT -i wlan0 -p udp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

And I am using This freeware UDP test tool to send UDP packets (containing shell commands) to the Kindle.

My wlan0 interface seems healthy:

It recieves unicast UDP packets on port 10000:

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:

After multicasting several packets, the count does not change

Can you help me spot what is missing?

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?

Wifi stays on if the kindle is receiving power over the USB port (not in USB Drive mode). Either the kindle must be in USBnet mode, or the USB Drive must be ejected, or the USB port must be connected to a power adapter.

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.

This thread sounds like the process could be simplified by using NetCat (nc).
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).
