Albatron - Activate screen remotely / Screensaver

Post by **DJF3** » Fri May 08, 2009 11:09 am

Hi

- When the screen is turned off and you touch the screen it could activate a button if that's where you activated the screen. This doesn't increase the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) so I need to fix it [:)]
Q: Is there a way to have the TeePC not repond to the first touch (so just to activate the screen)?

-Is there a way to activate the TeePC screen via HS if it's in screensaver mode? (for example: an emergency or doorbell ring has to 'activate' the screen and move to a specific page).
Q: How to remotely activate the TeePC screen?

Thank you!
DJ

This seems not easy. I have also been looking around for something like "Wake on LAN" or similair but no luck. Most programs wake up other PC's from WinCE.
Guess we will have to dive in Visual Studio to make something.

Question: will what monitors.exe does, work? I could combine that with several methods of triggering; TCP or UDP listener, existence of a specific file, etc. Although i don't know anything about the internals of the TeePC regarding OS etc.

Found that when you run PocketVNC server on the TeePC, and connects with a client from elsewhere, the screens jumps up.
Unfortunately it doesn't work when I try it only with a Wake on LAN signal.
I have tried with Wake on LAN ( http://www.matcode.com/wol.htm )
there is a conmfirmation the signal is send but the TeePC doesn't start the screen.

@Digit: WinCE doesn't run DOS programs.

Bastiaan, who said it was going to be a console app?
