Sd-Replacement

A program (actually 4) to use an old PC or any other device as a StreamDeck-replacement.

Why I did this?

I had an old 32-Bit laptop lying around and thought What could I do with it? and I wanted to have a StreamDeck, but it is too expensive, so I programmed this stupid thing.

Highlights

• Easy2use
• Cheap
• Use old computers

How to use it?

At first, you should have 2 devices. One is your Main-Computer where everything gets executed. From Now on Main-Computer. Then you have the other pc or smartphone (from now on Client-Computer). On the Main-Computer you can specify what happens if you push a button/key on the Client-Computer.

The software you need for the Client-Computer is written with Flutter, so it runs everywhere.

The software you need for the Main-Computer is written with Rust, so it runs everywhere, as well. You just need to download it, write a config-file and run it.

Example Configuration

Config:
  Key: 193749 # The key required for authentication 
  Port: 4000 # To adjust the port manually
Mappings: # Here you can specify everything
  c: # If the button "c" gets pressed, do the following:
    - alt # Press ALT
    - f4  # And F4
  b:
    - ctrl
    - c
Commands: # Here can be put shell-commands
  l: # The button which triggers...
    - brave https://ddg.gg # ...This command

Note, It doesn't press them after each other, it does it like this:

1. Alt -> Down
2. F4 -> Down

Now it is done, so it releases the keys:

3. Alt -> Up
4. F4 -> Up

A list of all buttons which can be pushed is Here

Roadmap

• Add the ability to execute commands
• Add a non-graphical interface for the client
• An android-app (maybe with toga or kivy)

Build the Client

The client is written with Cordova. To build, install Cordova, add a platform and build.
