I recently converted an old computer into a HTPC running GBPVR and Boxee. Unfortunately, this PC doesn’t have a serial port for my old IR receiver. I’ve already sunk too much money into this project as it is, so I decided to make a wireless keyboard app for my Palm Pre. It consists of a WebOS app that sends key signals to a python web server, which interprets the signals and sends the input to the active application.
This is still under development. It almost works well enough for me, but most of the options are still hard-coded in, and there’s absolutely no security. The server working, and I can send key presses from the hardware keyboard and from on-screen buttons. Holding a key works on the hardware keyboard, but not on the on-screen buttons. Once I get this working, I’ll get some option menus working, implement a password system, and get it in the PreCentral feed.
Update: WebOS now has a really good Boxee remote app, so I probably won’t finish this.
