eMonitor
Hi,
This is version 2 of my already released program. I had originally released it as a reply in a thread, mainly because I thought only a few people would be interested in how my code worked. However, I was surprised that several people actually liked and used the program. As such, I am creating its own thread. (It was also somewhat hijacking the main thread.) Well, here is my eMonitor program. It uses the web browser for rendering, so it isn't very efficient, but I suppose that it is better than nothing. Tested on Windows 7 x64, Python 2.7.2, wxPython 2.8. Prerequisites: Procedure: 1. Download and extract webserver_v2.zip in the attachments section below. Double click the extracted file, and it should open with Python. You should look something like this: 2. Open the web browser on your Kindle. In the address bar, type in the URL displayed in the Python window. If all goes well, you should see the top left area of your computer screen. Notes:

Thanks a lot! I wish I could write on PC and see it on Kindle in real time. Hope it will work so in final version.

This is really, really cool. I could use this when I watch internet streams on my TV through my notebook and don't want to switch from fullscreen to look at the attached chat room (the kindle browser doesn't seem able to to this on its own). I'd have to use two computers, though, right? Or is there another solution for this? Like if you could log off one windows account and log on another without the first one becoming inactive or something. Anyway, nice work and thanks for sharing.

my screen resolution is 1280*800 and I set l,t as l,t=(1280,0) ,w,h=(800,500) ; and open browser in landscape mode. Thanks again. Is there a way to switch to this second screen on the computer? (Or a way to capture a window) Last edited by thomass; 09-08-2011 at 12:49 AM. |

It behaves the way as any dual monitor setup, except you can't see what's on the second screen. Meaning that, if you set it up so that the second monitor is on the right, you can drag a window past the right edge of your primary monitor, and it will appear on the Kindle screen, after the delay.

If you use it with extented screen you can see the second screen by just moving mouse ! (It is not free, we should find a free one. You can download it from here (trial version) Last edited by thomass; 09-08-2011 at 03:36 AM. |

Question: How can I change the speed at which the pictures are send? Is this the code for it?: 'self.send_response(200)' Last edited by Kenneth_irl; 09-08-2011 at 01:48 PM. |

As for the snippet of code you quoted, that's just sending an HTTP response to the Kindle, telling it that the server does indeed exist. |

GiMeSpace makes the screen behave like a wider screen. (For example my screen resolution is 1280*800. I set the ( virtually ) wider screen resolution as 2500*800. then when I move the mouse to the right edge of the screen, screen starts to slip to show me this extra space (then I can see and oparate on this extra part) . And If I set an extended screen at the same time, it displays this extra part (when I slip back) .And with your app I can see it on the Kindle . Therefore GiMeSpace is not an alternative to your app but a supplementary. It is useful to see the second screen on the first screen temporarily to make some small changes (like scrolling, or changing pages,..etc) It is good to see and make modification on what I send to Kindle without any effect on what I see on the the screen of my computer. Sorry for my English BTW: I couldn't make ZoneScreen work. I could set it to send pictures but I couldn't make Kindle display them; Thanks anyway.. Last edited by thomass; 09-09-2011 at 05:47 PM. |

Hello.
Can I use it under Linux? And as a second monitor? I have a Kindle DXG, so no wifi is possible unfortunately. Any solution? Regards |
