Topic: Remote Control

The Chumby is 100% remotely controllable .. why can we not have a widget that will react to remote controls, and even a remote web page that changes, based on the changes made on the Chumby?

Re: Remote Control

Would be geat to have an Web based Controlpanel for the Chumby!

I'd like to set the volume, the music and the alarm- settings by Webinterface.

Re: Remote Control

That really wouldn't be too hard for someone to put together - after all, the chumby has a built-in web server, so all it would take is for someone to whack out a couple of CGI scripts to modify the appropriate files or perform the appropriate actions.  The documentation is here.

I Second and third this. I use my squeezebox alot and 95 percent i control it from my laptop. it would be great to do the same with my chumby

Re: Remote Control

I started working on something like this, but didn't get to something production-quality.  My AJAX hacking skills are limited, and I never got it working very well and busybox httpd wasn't happy with my number of requests.  I'll be posting my progress on my blog at http://matmrosko.com/.  I've only had time to post my kernel changes for the chumby classic.  I don't think the C1 will need kernel changes since the kernel's input system on the C1 supports writing to the device entry, I just haven't had time to hack that up.
