KRemote allows to use a Remote with Karoo and perform some actions with it (swipe screens, Bell, zoom in, zoom out, etc.)
- Ant+ Remote (tested with Garmin Remote but should work with others Ant+ remotes)
- Karoo (tested on last Karoo ) with version 1.524.2003 or later
You can sideload the app using the following steps for Karoo 2
- Download the APK from the releases .
- Prepare your Karoo for sideloading by following the step-by-step guide by DC Rainmaker.
- Install the app using the command
adb install app-release.apk.
If you've Karoo 3 and v > 1.527 you can sideload the app using the following steps:
- Link with apk (releases link) from your mobile ( https://github.com/lockevod/Karoo-KRemote/releases/latest/download/kremote.apk )
- Share with Hammerhead companion app
- Install the app using the Hammerhead companion app.
It's mandatory to reset the Karoo after the installation (shutdown and start again).
- This release adds the possibility to add multiple remotes.
- It's mandatory to scan your remote first. When you've the remote added (Remotes screen -> Scan -> push over your remote), you can scan for commands from your remote.
- If you have a garmin remote, you don't need to scan/learn commands (if you use other Ant remote it's mandatory)
- Then you need to go to Conf screen, select your remote and map Remotes commands to Karoo actions.
- Kremote auto-starts when Karoo starts, then push a button in remote and wait until the Remote flashing green several times.
- Kremote works (if only when riding option is enabled) only when you're in Ride app. Please if you want kremote works in all screens, uncheck this option. If you detect some lags, sometimes you can uncheck this option and try if it's work better.
- You need to configure the remote buttons to perform some actions in Karoo. There is a default configuration if you've a Garmin Remote (or compatible).
- You can configure double tap option. This permits to use double press and use more options with the remote (for example, zoom in double tap in left button, etc). Double tap works fine but introduces a delay (it's necessary to catch double press). The default delay is 1200 ms.
- You can map several actions (mark lap, swipe between screens, zoom in etc and use your Karoo as a BELL)
- If you have karoo > 1.535 you can use showmap option also
- Sometimes app isn't working fine, this new release has better support and it's working fine, but you need to know, Karoo function have priority oven kremote actions.
- Sometimes app can't detect the remote, you need to restart the app.. or the Karoo. Restart karoo solve most of the problems (with this app and with anything.. sometimes karoo is slowly if you have several custom apps)
- Karoo has a buzzer and it doesn't allow to change amplitude, then we only can "play" with frequenzy and duration. Bell sound is complicated with this two only parameters, please if you now howto modelate better, please open an issue ;)
- Made possible by the generous usage terms of timklge (apache 2.0). He has a great development and I use part of his code to create this extension. https://github.com/timklge?tab=repositories
