    Can't recall if I tried barrier on the PP or PPPro but just in case, if you truly get stuck (and because I don't think barrier works so well in CLI) you might want to check https://github.com/Blub/netevent
  • HOWTO: connecting a RPi based arcade joystick via WiFi
    3 projects | /r/SteamDeck | 1 Sep 2022
    I have a Deck since Monday and start to tinker with it. I also have Picade Console from Pimonori which is basically a RaspberryPi Hat with nice buttons, a joystick and a cool case. The problem is that it's not a controller proper but rather a full-on console, namely you plug it to your TV and play. To make it work as-is with the SteamDeck I had to use a little trick : redirecting input events, e.g keypress, from one device to the other. There are multiple solutions for that e.g uinput-mapper https://github.com/MerlijnWajer/uinput-mapper , potentially barrier, a software KVM https://github.com/debauchee/barrier but I decide to stick to a minimalist solution, netevent https://github.com/Blub/netevent that just brings input events from one device to another over e.g ssh.

    Hi, I'm trying to build https://github.com/Blub/netevent and missing headers, e.g getopt.h that I found thanks to Debian filename search https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents but somehow I fail to find the equivalent for Arch or AUR. Is it possible and if so how?

    Hi, I'm trying to build https://github.com/Blub/netevent after successfully doing so on Ubuntu and Raspbian devices, thus insuring the idea (connecting a PiCade to another computer as arcade input) works.

    Awesome project. Lovely to see something like this come together so quickly!

    The core architecture is to ssh in to the machine, and forward Linux /dev/input* events to a python app that re-emits websocket events.

    This makes me think a little bit of netevent[1], which is a small utility for forwarding/cloning input events, usually used with ssh to forward between machines. It would allow for the remarkable to act as just another generic input for a presentation laptop, for example. One might be able to then use Gromit-MPX[2] or DrawOnYourScreen to turn that forwarded input into on-screen drawing.
