Altering Program

[jmadero]

Hi All,

Hoping someone will help me with this, I have very limited knowledge of java so....yeah

basically I want to change bluepad which is a program that does cell phone control of pc via bluetooth.

So what I want to do is make it so the mouse button is repeated. When you control the mouse you can only make it move "one pixel" at a time, you can't hold the left or right button and have it move continuously. I don't know if the program is still being developed but I think this is a minor change to the code and would make it much better. Here is a link to the source:

SourceForge.net: BluePad remote control: Downloading ...

I've looked it over and it's above me but if someone can take a look and see if it would be an easy fix that would be great. I'm going to use this as my learning experience, slowly adding features.

Next I think is trying to get it to control Amarok 2 and show the Amarok playlist on the phone itself ...this is a bit more detailed so it's coming later.

Hello,

looking over it casually, I think the necessary changes are to be made in BluePadServer.py.

I can't try it out. But I would look first whether the "process_keys" functions is called frequently if you hold the direction key pushed. In the next step, check these if-cases in "process_keys" out as they refer to the cardinal points and play around with the values.

Alternatively, you could try to find the original author and use your charm.
I found most project maintainers are happy when they get feedback on their product and gladly help.
