Remote Pi: Use Your iPhone as a Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad for Raspberry Pi
Remote Pi is a versatile application that allows you to transform your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a wireless keyboard and trackpad for your Raspberry Pi. This universal app lets you send keystrokes and mouse events to your Raspberry Pi computers over TCP/IP via a wired or wireless network.
With Remote Pi, you can unlock the full potential of your Raspberry Pi in various settings, including the living room or office. Whether you're browsing the web, sending emails, editing text, drawing, controlling media players, or even programming, Remote Pi allows you to perform all these tasks with ease.
One of the key benefits of Remote Pi is its simplicity. It allows you to keep the two USB ports in your Raspberry Pi Model B free when using a wired network, or one USB port free when using a WiFi USB dongle. This makes it a cost-effective alternative to wireless hardware keyboards and trackpads. Additionally, by reusing a wireless mobile device you already own, Remote Pi is environmentally friendly.
For developers, Remote Pi can also serve as a remote controller for applications and gadgets developed for the Raspberry Pi. By programming your application to respond to regular keyboard and mouse events, you can use Remote Pi to conveniently control your Raspberry Pi projects.
