Android app available now to control ShopBot

[ssflyer]

Graeme,

Glad you, with Eric's help, found the issue. I reported the same issue running a beta version of the control software, and it never occurred to me to look at the window caption. I'd still go with Scott's suggestion of sending keypresses, instead of mouse interaction.

new update to SB3 sofware (3.8.4) doesn't seem to work right, I have the free version of the Shopbot ICS it just happened that I recieved the software update and finally got network access to my control pc on the same day. I can pop up the key pad but the only movement I get is -x,+y simultainiously and if you hold it for more then a second you have to hit the e-stop (on the machinenot the software)

Hi Thomas,

What type of device you are using?

Thanks for letting me know about the problem. I'm not sure it is an issue with 3.8.4. There may be other factors involved... but what...

I've been using 3.8.4 since just after it was released and have not had a problem. In fact I was just in the shed and using it. Free and paid version appear okay. Having said that, things occur that make porridge out of cordon bleu.

It's hard to diagnose from a distance what might be happening. I assume you have a good strong wireless signal to your device. That's essential of course.

I'll give it some thought but I'm not sure what to guess at as the cause.

Cheers

Graeme

Hi Thomas,

Your setup is the same as mine except the device. The simultaneous movement is a real puzzler. The software moves the mouse pointer to the target button on the keypad and clicks it down to achieve the requested movement. Movement in -x,+y at the same time is just weird.

Can you confirm that you see the mouse pointer moving to the correct keypad button when you press the button on the HTC.

Drop me a line to csc at coogara dot com if you like and we can continue this discussion offline.

Thanks

Graeme
