Motion Remote Examples

Example 1

Objective: Create a motion control that will allow a tap on the front of the device to toggle playback of the text.

  1. Enable the Motion Remote by setting the Enable switch to the ON position.
  2. Create a new motion control with the + button.
  3. Select the control in the list to configure its settings.
  4. Ensure the Enabled switch is set to the ON position.
  5. Press the Control option to select a prompter control to assign to the motion control.
  6. Select Toggle Play from the list of prompter controls.
  7. Select Acceleration as the Motion Type.
  8. Select Threshold as the Detection Type.
  9. Select Z as the Axis to use.
  10. Set the Threshold to around 20%. Adjust this value to change how hard of a tap is required to trigger the control.
  11. Set the Trigger Delay to 0.3 seconds. This will ensure that the control will not be triggered more than once on a tap.
  12. Tap on the face of the device to start or stop playback of the text.

Example 2

Objective: Create a motion control that will allow tilting the device left and right to control scrolling the text up and down.

This example is for use on a device in landscape-right. For other orientations it may be necessary to use a different axis.

  1. Enable the Motion Remote by setting the Enable switch to the ON position.
  2. Create a new motion control with the + button.
  3. Select the control in the list to configure its settings.
  4. Ensure the Enabled switch is set to the ON position.
  5. Press the Control option to select a prompter control to assign to the motion control.
  6. Select Scroll from the list of prompter controls.
  7. Select Gravity as the Motion Type.
  8. Select Y as the Axis.
  9. Set the Threshold to around 10%. This will prevent the control from triggering when near zero, without requiring it to be exactly zero.
  10. Adjust the Influence as needed. The size of the document and font size will affect the influence. It is best to adjust this value while testing the control.
  11. Set the Invert Axis switch to the ON position. If in landscape-left, do not invert the axis.
  12. Tilt the device left and right to scroll the text.
