controlloid-server

This is the server for the Controlloid application.

Windoze instructions

• Go into /dist/windows/ folder and run start.bat
• On first run it will install and configure required software (vJoy)
• This takes a while and you should accept all the prompts for a successful install
• Press any key to close the setup window
• Now you can see available addresses on the server window (KEEP IT OPEN)
• Pick one in the same network as your phone and write it exactly in the application
• Alternatively, scan available servers in the application and pick one (should be only one)
• Done!

Linux instructions

A note about the uinput kernel module

• The server uses the uinput kernel module to emulate real input
• This kernel module is loaded automatically on most linux distros
• If your linux distro doesn't load the module automatically then you need to load it manually (after every reboot) by running sudo modprobe uinput
• If you want it to be loaded automatically, then follow this guide for systemd distros by replacing the module given in the example with uinput

Fixing error: failed to create virtual controller

• This is caused by restrictive permissions on /dev/uinput
• Go into the project /dist/linux/udev folder and run sudo ./setup.sh $USER
• Wait for the script to finish, make sure that there were no errors and reboot the machine
• Done!
