touchmoused

I found a project called touchmoused that simulates Logitech Touch Mouse app.

Description

touchmouchd will act as a server for Logitech's Touch Mouse app for IOS or other clients using the same network protocol. The Logitech Touch Mouse app will allow you to control your mouse and keyboard using your IOS device.

Implemented features

• Mouse buttons
• Mouse movement
• Two-finger scroll
• Alphanumeric key support (1..9, a..z, A..Z)
• Modifier key support (Ctrl, Alt)
• Some other keys

The software is in fact a daemon so save the script, make it executable and have a look at the help at the bottom on how to use it. It is a year old and looks like an coding example attempt so mileage may vary

Remotepad

Besides that there is an app called Remotepad in your store.

Description

RemotePad is an open source application that controls the mouse cursor of your desktop PC. This way, you can use your iPhone or iPod touch as a wireless touchpad!

  • Mouse (pseudo)control via accelerometer.
  • Send arrow keys. (double tapping and continuously dragging to enter arrow keys)

  • you can show a tap view and a setup view without any servers (to enter a demo mode, tap your iPhone name and hold four seconds)
  • nothing happen :-)

Dependencies

Remotepad requires build-essential and libxtst-dev to run. You can install them with the command:

sudo apt install build-essential libxtst-dev

Download remotepad source code.

Installation

• sudo apt-get install build-essential libxtst-dev
• Download the remotepad and move it to /opt or where ever you want if not /opt.
• Untar/Unzip the package and this will create a directory called RemotePad Server

• cd ~/"RemotePad Server"/X11 and "make" it...

  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install
  

• To start it run remotepad.
