pebblepoint server
Node.js server for Mac OS X that allows Pebble to control PowerPoint, via AppleScript.
Requirements
- Mac OS X, for AppleScript
- Microsoft PowerPoint
- Node.js
- A Pebble watch, with PebblePoint installed
Installation
Open a terminal and run:
npm install -g pebblepoint-server
After install, you may need to rehash your path or open a new terminal to get the executable in your PATH.
Running the Server
Open a terminal and run:
pebblepoint-server
The server will run and open a browser window with the IP and PORT info for configuring your watch.
By default, the server runs on port 7325 (which is PEBL on a phone keypad). Port can be overridden at server start if you have a conflict on the default one:
PORT=60654 pebblepoint-server
Configuring your Pebble
When the server runs, an instruction page is launched in your default browser to show what IP and PORT you need to use. This also acts a simple smoketest to let you know you're ready to go.
