## setup and running

- It has not been packaged yet so cloning is the fastest way to set it up and use.

- `clone this repo`

- run `npm install` to install all the dependencies.

- use `node trackpadpp.js` to spin up a local connection server

- Open `:8080` (eg. `192.168.0.105:8080`) using the device you want to use as a controller and there you go.

  

  

## how it works ?

It spins up a local server on your device (whose cursor will be controlled) and allows another device(controller) to control the cursor using two-way socket connections and uses robotjs library for the cursor OS bindings.
