About this app

The pyLauncher system is a TCP/IP socket server for your Raspberry Pi (or other Linux machine), with a client for your Android phone.

The pyLauncher system allows you to connect your Android phone to the Raspberry Pi, and then launch Python program files from the user interface on the Android. The results of the program are returned to the Android application, and displayed on the screen.

Program Features:

* Run the pyLauncher server software on your Raspberry Pi (or other Linux machine)
* Connect any number of pyLauncher Android clients to the server on your local area network.
* Select a Python.py file from the Android user interface, and have it run on the Raspberry Pi.
* Results of each Python file run are broadcast to all connected Android clients
* Create custom buttons for a selected Python file with specific command line arguments
* Use Python 2 or Python 3 environment.

The pyLauncher programs are built using code from our tcPIp_Sockets project:
