The client iOS application for the Assistive Technology project. The app contains four inputs:
- Touchscreen buttons
- Gyroscope
- Face tracking
- Voice control
The app automatically discovers and connects to the windows server over the local network when you press "Connect" in the connection window.
To run the app, first open the workspace in Xcode. You must have the CocoaPods package manager installed on your system. The app will only build for iOS 13+ due to the images used. A development certificate is required to sign the build.
Windows server that handles the inputs sent from the client through the usage of UDP. The initial discovery of the server is done by registering a Zeroconf service. The server simulates two inputs:
- W, A, S & D keys
- Up, Down, Left, Right arrow keys
To run the app you must have installed Bonjour Service for Windows on your system. You must open the the workspace using Visual Studio 2019 with the 4.7.2 .NET framework (server is targeted to this version of the framework). The app has been mainly designed to work with Windows 10.
To use it just press the start service button. This will register a Zeroconf service and stablish a UDP connection to the client. If 2 minutes go by without communication between the server and client, the server will close the communication.
master– Protected branch for stable & release versionsstaging– Main development working branch - branch from here to make a new featurefeature/$feature_name- New feature branch, merge back into staging once donefix/$feature_fixed– Fix applied to feature in projectexperimental/$feature_name– Used for testing features, not merged back in to staging
When working on a new change, pull from staging first before making any changes and create a new branch. Once done with the change, create a new merge request and assign to Ben to review (as GitLab doesn't let you add multiple people as reviewers). If the change is all good we can approve it and merge.
> git checkout staging // Switch to staging (working) branch
> git pull origin staging // Update your local copy with any changes to remote
> git checkout -b $BRANCH NAME // Create a new branch with given name and switch to it
-- Make any changes --
> git commit -a -m "$MESSAGE" // Add all changes and commit with a message describing what you changed
> git push origin -b $BRANCH_NAME // Push your changes to the remote repo on your new branch
You'll then get a response back with a link in it to create a new merge request, open that link and describe the change and assign to Ben.
If you don't get a link just go to projects.cs.nott.ac.uk and make a merge request manually online after pushing
