VMD Remote is a App for Android-powered devices that allows remote control of a VMD session.

Requirements:

Installation:

Running and using the App:

On the VMD desktop/laptop computer:

You can set the current user in control by calling set activeClient like:

  mobile set activeClient "Kindle Fire" "192.168.0.1"
where the name (Kindle Fire) and IP (192.168.0.1) match the nickname and IP given for a specific user via the mobile get clientList command.

Want to automatically be able to connect to your VMD session without needing to remember to go the Extension menu every time? Just add:

  mobile mode move
to your VMD startup script.
On the Android device: At the current time, the buttons at the top of the screen are not configured to do anything, but you can set them within VMD via scripting. There are four buttons: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Lets say you have created a TCL script, called button1Pressed that you wanted to be called whenever Button 1 is pressed. Typing the following into the console will do this:
user add key Aux-1 { button1Pressed }
This script will then be called each time that Button 1 is pressed. Similarly, you can add a script for Aux-0 or Aux-2, or Aux-3.

If you have the VMD server configured in:
move mode:

translate mode:

If you apply a finger to the Android screen and scrub/move to the right, you will increase the trajectory frame you are viewing. Scrubbing/moving to the left will decrease the trajectory frame you are viewing.
