New way to control Mosconi 6to8 with Android tablet

[BigAl205]

I've been wanting to be able to tune my 6to8 without going out and buying a new windows-based tab. I already have a laptop that I've been using, but it's a PIT to hold while messing with it,and the Android app that Mosconi has is basically useless.

I found an app called Jump Desktop which allows me to remotely control my laptop with my Android tab. So basically, I set the laptop near the DSP, and I use the tablet to control it. So far it works like a charm.

Just use VNC viewer on the tablet and toss Tight VNC server on the windows machine.

the nice thing is that VNC viewer works the same in all platforms so the learning curve is nil

Jump Desktop is a VNC program which also has RDP

Oh, and welcome, Big Daddy

Just threw this on the laptop. Now I don't have to crane my neck to see the laptop or fuck with a usb mouse cable slammed/pinched in the door jamb of the car.
Thanks.

I just got this going with vnc viewer on the phone, and tight vnc on the laptop. Thanks, guys!

both really stable, no issues here.

Except I don't use it for car audio.

I use splashtop on my tablet. You have to install the streamer on the device to controlled and as long as both are on the same network, it works like you are in front of the device being controlled.

You can pay to scare the bejesus out of anyone using the PC at home when you are at work, if you wanted to.

Don't have to pay with tight VNC just use your ISP.ADDY : port and forward that port on your router.... Common VNC port is 5900 so I always pick something different

I normally use Linux so I use the built in RDP or just SSH into it.

This is totally OT but if you want to use 2 machines, any platform, 2 monitors and 1 keyboard/mouse then use Synergy... it makes 2 different platforms act like one machine with 2 monitors/extended desktop... you can even copy/paste text between machines... Best thing since pre-sliced bread.
