Use Wi-Fi to turn pages on Kobo device.

I followed the concept of KoboCloud to create a project named KoboPageTurner. You could use Wi-Fi to turn pages on your Kobo devices.

Source Code

https://github.com/tylpk1216/KoboPageTurner

Usage
  1. Run KoboServer/makeKoboRoot.sh to get KoboRoot.tgz or you could use release version.
  2. Put KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo folder of your Kobo device.
  3. Reboot device.
  4. Check "ForceWifiOn" item.
  5. Turn on Wi-Fi on Kobo device. The Web Server will run on port 80.
  6. Use Android(HTTP Request Shortcuts) to send HTTP request.
  7. Use three API to control the Web Server.
    • GET /left -> left page.
    • GET /right -> right page.
    • GET /exit -> shutdown the Web Server.
  8. After closing the Web Server, uncheck "ForceWifiOn" item. Then turn off Wi-Fi.
