GUI-O app let me select Ethernet as a new device - but Ethernet is not fitted
-
G'day,
Not really a problem, but had me fooled for a while.I was trying the create a new device (to access GUI-O Live Design) so selected
Ethernet in the 'Add new device'.
The page opened up and I selected 'New device'.
The next page asked for a Device name (and IP, Port etc), so after attempting to enter a name, the app reported 'Invalid input' and cleared the entry.
Tried several times with the same result.
Given that I had only recently reported a problem with the keyboard in a similar situation and a new release (1.0.73) fixed it, I was not sure if another keyboard issue had arisen.As it turned out, there was no keyboard issue - the Android tablet I was using only has WiFi (now I find out!!) and therefore wouldn't setup an ethernet device (as you might expect).
Not sure if an app can detect if USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet is available (fitted), but if it can, maybe the 'Add new device' options could not shown functionality not available.
As I said before, not a real problem once you know the limitations of your Android device!!
Cheers

@SteveV Hi.
Did you enter only the name or did you also specify the IP and port. All parameters must be specified...
If the tablet has WiFi, you can connect via "Ethernet". Please see my other answer here:
https://forum.gui-o.com/topic/198/could-the-gui-o-designer-be-made-to-work-with-wifi/2True, "Ethernet" is usual terminology for internal wired connections. But in this case "Ethernet" means internal wireless connections. I think other (more technical) terminologies would be even more confusing for the user.
Best regards,
