Hello,
I need to manage playback and mapping remotely.
The best solution will be to be connected to my miniMAD:

- via browser with a page that have some button that will trigger/simulate keystrokes
or
- via VNC

I made some try without success...
could you help me please?

PS: bluetooth keyboard aren't a solution.

You can program an Arduino Leonardo to simulate keystrokes in response to Midi, DMX or any other protocol.

I found a solution!

FIRST PART

Here the instructions:
Open terminal and access to your MiniMad

pssword: raspberry



Delete the password to access Webiop web interface


Create directories and uplad files you can find attached to this post (sftp is the way I prefere)


Edit config file


In config file find this line


comment that line if not alreay commented as above and add this one


Start Webiop with debug


You will read a line with an http address like http://192.168.0.100:8000 visit it and you will se the remote web UI

Everythink should works!

From here everything works, now I would like to simulate a keyboard so I can use "crop" and "select media" features

I tried to add two buttons as test so they can simulate keystrokes. Everything looks right but I'm unable to send any fake keyboard output...to have a try just follow these steps:

when everything works, open your terminal, login via ssh to your minimad ad launch these commands:



when everything is installed run this command:



If you want to run it at startup:

and add this line


now open script.js (the JS file be careful!!!) and uncomment the commented lines
save the file and upload it in js folder

now go to mmcontrol/html/macros and add the script.py (the python file attached to this post)

relaunch webiop with


Everything should works without issue but the fake keyboard (even if I didn't found any log errors) it doesn't works...you can see in terminal that when you press the 1 or 2 button you get print output but keystrokes aren't sent to minimad.... maybe somone more expert then me could fine a solution?

PS: If I made some transcriction errors please tell me and I will edit!
