Re: [tuxdroid-user] Can you give more doc about RF ?

[Frans M. <fra...@ya...>]

Hi Nicolas,

The fux uses a proprietary protocol to talk with tux.
This is not standard 802.11 wifi.
If you were to implement the protocol/hw in another
device, I can imagine you can get it going.
There are some hints in the code that one fux could be
made to control multiple tuxes, but that part is not
implemented.

The other way is to reprogram the fux driver to use
the RF protocol you need (assuming the fux is capable
of that).

Btw there is one other thing I managed to do.
It is possible to use the tux to control RC5 devices.
E.g. I managed to let tux change channels on my
Philips TV!
Other ir protocols are technically probably also
possible but would require changes in the firmware of
tux as the kysoh firmware only supports RC5. (so if
you have e.g. a Sony TV some work would be needed).

Best regards, Frans.
