remote control / send tap

[tqhien]

Hello all,

I'm trying to make a remote control for my Kobo H2O.
For now, I installed a webportal mod for testing and want to use KOReader as my reader, because I want to use DJVu files (rally roadbook).

I try to use the tip in the Kobo forum to catch taps on screen :

cat /dev/input/event1 > /tmp/record.input

which is fine under nickel, but that doesn't record anything when in Koreader.

Is there another way to do that, like a LUA script sending an event somewhere ?

Thanks.

Hien.

The project at Github is good starting place. There are event handling scripts available in KOReader, as well as those defining touchscreen active areas. Some are included in the advanced settings and others remain in the appropriate script/LUA files.

Luck;

Well, I already looked into the github repository and understand the logic to handle event received, but my problem is to emulate/send an event, as if the user was tapping somewhere, like

cat /tmp/record.input /dev/input/event1

I saw there was a commit a few days ago for kobofaketap, but how can I call it whith my own parameters ?

I finally made it. It was quite simple in fact : I recorded the taps under nickel and replayed them under Koreader.
