Remote Control Server for ofxPiMapper

This example demonstrates a TCP server for ofxPiMapper remote control. The other part of this is the Remote Control Client. What it does is the following.

  • It creates a TCPServer singleton.
  • Waits for a client to connect via TCP.
  • Sends ofxPiMapper configuration once client is connected.
  • Accepts keyboard and mouse events from client after.
  • Forwards events to ofxPiMapper instance.

In a real-world scenario, the server should reside on the Raspberry Pi side of your installation. The Raspberry Pi should be connected to wired or wireless network. An IP address should be set.

The client should know the following.

  • The IP address of the Raspberry Pi with the server.
  • The port, which is 9999 in this case.

Dependencies

JSON is used as the data format between ofxPiMapper remote control server and client, therefore additionally ofxJSON addon is used. Install it by using the following lines of bash code.

cd openFrameworks/addons
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/jeffcrouse/ofxJSON
