Is there a "lighter" tablet version of xLights?

Hi guys,

Any plans for a smaller tablet version just for creating sequences?
Thinking: setup, test, layout, sequencer.

Test would be great for my iPhone/iPad to be able to stand outside and check each channel.
To create or modify sequences on my iPad would be great when I am not near my computer.

Just a thought
Thanks

i dont think this is needed. first, it would be lots of work to cut it up. the sequencer would not run on a tablet.
You already have ability now.
I downloaded the free TeamViewer 10 app for my ipad. I start teamviewer on my desktop. I am in the from yard, i turn on tests, start and stop patterns. i am able to control my sequencer from anywhere in my yard. i can also do the same from my phone.

splashtop is another app that allows same functionality.

Hi Sean,

I totally understand and I already use and love TeamViewer.

Thanks

And if you are running on the FPP program on the PI you can connect to that via a web browser if you get wifi in your yard.  I put a wifi router next to a front window to run my show connections just so I can use my phone and tablet in the yard.  Works great.

You can always get a Surface Pro 4 That's what I use to run xlights.
