However, I would like to reduce my eyestrain while typing on my LCD screen computer, and be able to see directly, live, the text input I type on my computer's keyboard. I'm on Arch Linux.
I'm looking for something like telnet, in terminal/shell.
Thanks for your answers, they're always of valuable help! |
First, you should definitely consider using VNC (
This thread used to work back when I needed that kind of thing, I do not know if it still works with recent firmware versions). it allows you to mirror your computer screen on the ereader. I think that is what you want.
If you want to code it yourself, choose whatever programming language you like. You can print stuff on the ereader with
FBInk, and set up a HTTP server on the kobo. Then on your computer set up a script which sends whatever you are typing to the kobo through a GET or POST request.
If you prefer, you can avoid developping a Kobo app and simply use a custom webpage which can be accessed through the Kobo web browser. Your computer will act as a server and you simply open the webpage pointing to your computer's IP address on the Kobo. See
this thread.
It all depends on your need and if you want to code it yourself or not
That is only my take on it though, if anyone has a better idea, do not hesitate.
