This is very very alpha code, a quick hack of sgstair's udp test.

Basically, if you run linux on your desktop, you can use your DS to control XMMS (a media player, clone of winamp).

Also, the wifi_lib_test project was modified to compile with libnds.

You'll probably have to fiddle with the Makefile a bit to get it to compile for you. (if you use the source)

 

Usage:

1. Compile & run udp_test.c on your machine which has xmms running

2. Run wifi_test_xmms.nds on your DS

3. Connect to your AP (same as sgs's original wifi test)

4. Run "UDP Test" on the DS

5. Change the 'DestIP' if needed...it defaults to the gateway IP

6. Controls: (When in the 'UDP Experimenter' screen)

LEFT - Prev track

RIGHT - Next track

UP - Raise volume

DOWN - Lower volume

A - Pause

START - Play

SELECT - Stop

R - Toggle shuffle

 

NOTE: You need 'rexima' installed on your pc for volume control to work.

Sounds like a cool little app. Unfortunately Im running XP so I can't test it out. I was using a PocketPC app called RemoteAmp as a remote control for winamp and that was pretty fun. Especially since I didn't have to be sitting at the computer to change the track if someone else was on it.

I like this small piece of C code... maybe can I will look into implementing some kind of MythTV controller or even better a lirc module. Don't know if MythTV can be controlled from the commandline. I never heard of rexima before but works great.

 

This rocks!
