Ghost_unit13 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 With help from forum member MetalNWood I managed to get a livefeed MFD/CDU Ipadpit prototype. I say prototype because it is not yet usable for real simming but it’s a start. The idea is to grab screen dumps from you static MFD and display them on the Ipadpit. Using Touch IR+ with webview buttons and a by MetalNWood custom made screengrab/publishing tool. It is to early to say if it something that can really be used. We have to see how things go. You can see a demo here: 3 www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:

Bullant Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) This is very cool, I just purchased Touch IR+ so that I could try out the stuff you've done. I mainly want to use this for CDU, so what you have here looks perfect.

Thermal Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Excellent work! I had airdisplay (an ipad app) exporting the two mfcd's to my ipad, but the update rate was maybe 2fps. And exporting MFCD's to another display device halved my main monitor fps.

Ghost_unit013 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Thx :) Got 1 frame a sec for a clean and steady display.. Had one option where I got a almost live 10 fps but for some reason it's is not possible at the moment with the correct layout setting. I'm working on it but not sure if we can make this happen.. About the data entery in the CDU :) it's a simple mark point entry in a new flight plan I was doing. I do miss qwerty :) Edited February 26, 2011 by Ghost_unit013

dindi Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 TouchControl grab URL Hello, Firs of all; new here, hello everyone, greetings from Costa Rica :). Now to the point: I got iPadpit to work and it is really good. I would like to keep using it. I got the MFCDs to export and it looks good. However I would like to get my MFCDs to a networked PC (NOT a screen extend, not an extra screen, but to have them appear somehow on my other PC. So why do I post my question here: well, by default TouchControl opens a HTTP capable server on port 8822. You can actually access localhost:8822 on the machine running it. I also read in their docs, that the screen grabber is creating a mjpeg stream that is accessible on this port. Question is: what is the URL where this can be accessed? Does anyone know by any chance? How this could work: well, I just 2 Thrustmaster MFD button sets ($79 on Amazon) and I could connect those to the game pc, while I could stream it to an other (lower end) pc or Mac (being a programmer/geek I have 6+ PCs in my home office/game room/man cave). It would be super easy in either a web browser or in VLC. Alternative: is the "remote control" in TouchControl supposed to work from a remote PC with the screen grabber imports? It doesn't for me. If they do, the problem is solved. If no-one has an idea, I might start with a sniffer between my iPad and my game PC, but it is painful as I would have to reorganize my network setup at home significantly - so it would be a PITA. OR: is there an other screen grabber that works similarly as this one? ALL I need is the MFCD, for the gauges there are countless other options. Either way, thanks in advance. Cheers Denes
Cowboy10uk Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 HI there Dindi, welcome to our home, sorry I cant answer you but what you are trying to do does sound intresting, However by reopening this thread, youve popped it back into the light. so may I ask, is this project still being developed and if so, does anyone know if it will work with DCS world. I do miss my touch controls.

dindi Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 HI there Dindi, welcome to our home, sorry I cant answer you but what you are trying to do does sound intresting, However by reopening this thread, youve popped it back into the light. so may I ask, is this project still being developed and if so, does anyone know if it will work with DCS world. I do miss my touch controls. Cowboy10uk Hmm I actually have BS and A-10c, both installed recently and the touch screen and everything is working fine. I installed DCS:World, but for some reason both purchased apps show up with a Dollar sign ($) and not available until I re-purchase them :O .... so I cannot answer your question either :) cheers Denes
dindi Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 So ... I was not very patient. And this is what I found and I have a feeling that this is going to make some folks happy here: http://192.168.3.110:8822/touchcontrol/grabber Where the ip is obviously my machines ip. You have to start the grabber in TouchControl then open the link in a browser. I couldn't do it in VLC but just a matter of time to find something faster than the web streaming. How I found this? Installed tcpick on my mac mini. Set up internet sharing and connected my iPad to the mini's shared wifi. ran this as root (sniffers need root access on linux/osx/bsd): bash-3.2# tcpick -i en0 "port 8822" -wRub The resulting file had: GET /touchcontrol/grabber?id=************ HTTP/1.1 The stars are an ID that seem to be associated with my touch control serial, my iPad's software or something. I did not want to post it here as I do not know yet what it is. This made me sad, but then I tried the URL without this unique ID and it worked fine. Not sure how laggy this is, but probably it is not lagger than the iPad version. This way you can grab the meds (or any instrument you export) from your screen and pull it up on a different machine (old laptop, win/linux/mac) in a web browser. You can scale it up (either make a http page with image size specified or press ctrl+-). Put your cougar mfd buttons around it and voila ... :) BTW I am considering a really simple solution too that would have 0 impact on the framerate: simply grabbing on an other computer using a web cam. Probably less lag than streaming (at least 15-20FPS) and all the processing can be done on the external machine. The cougars can be connected to the game PC directly. Well .. so I answered my first post. Hope it helps people who struggle with exporting MFDs

I was wondering why I had to buy BS and a10 again, though it was a beta bug or something:) Thanks ..
Cowboy10uk Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Any luck mate ?

dindi Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Any luck mate ? Cowboy10uk Well, with the grabbing, yes. The URL for the Touchcontrol is in my post above. Works fine (with Safari/Chrome/FF). With installing the module. Not yet. I looked at the 700 meg file and I decided to play a little BattleField3 (haha ..) and Take on Helicopters on this rainy weekend. I will download the modules though ... from work :) 80Mbit connection is nicer that the one at home (2Mbit) I will try this week. :) thanks for asking Denes
dindi Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Hey Cowboy10uk! Yep .. it worked. I installed A-10c and BS. The only hiccup was BS - did not accept my serial #. I have the DVD version, then got the Upgrade. I had to download the upgrade module and then it worked ... wasn't really obvious.. but makes sense. Thanks again Denes
