setup and running

  • It has not been packaged yet so cloning is the fastest way to set it up and use.
  • clone this repo
  • run npm install to install all the dependencies.
  • use node trackpadpp.js to spin up a local connection server
  • Open <private-ip-address>:8080 (eg. 192.168.0.105:8080) using the device you want to use as a controller and there you go.

how it works ?

It spins up a local server on your device (whose cursor will be controlled) and allows another device(controller) to control the cursor using two-way socket connections and uses robotjs library for the cursor OS bindings.
