Add 'Bluetooth Device' as an output option
We would like our clients who use iOS devices to be able to use EyeCommander.
We can achieve this by adding the ability to output as a Bluetooth Device from EyeCommander.
To do this we might have to rely on a second piece of hardware if we cannot create a bluetooth device output from a windows machine.
I haven't looked into it but I reckon your right there is probably no software API to trigger software switches. I also think you cant access the camera in the background so thats definitely a non starter.
Can we plug a camera into X80?
Simple answer - nope re x80. It's an arduino stack and doesn't play well with cameras.
One idea. The mediapipe part of this would be doable to make this run on anything (https://mediapipe.dev) so you could in theory create an app on mobile that would do this then send BLE HID keys to any other device. So run it on your phone - send to windows or another iOS device. Downside - keeping app running when asleep and power drain.
Ive supported Nick and the EarSwitch to do something similar - This is my example code to run on a nrf52840 Arduino and some server side code - all in python/CircuitPy - but easily doable in Node https://gist.github.com/willwade/ff4ad61fcef409c182db303e6133e5d4
We could potentially even do this on the electron client side using WebBluetooth which would make it super portable. Might have limitations but it is worth a shot
