FOH using an HP TouchPad and Bluetooth
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 4:07 am
I've been looking for a less expensive way to do adjustments in sound without having my mix station in the middle of the audience. Some places my son performs at aren't that big. Not to mention how much of a pain it is to use a mouse for everything.
I bought a discontinued, used HP TouchPad on Ebay ($200). Searched YouTube and converted it to dual boot Android. Down loaded TouchDaw and got it running using a wireless router. All is great... not so much. Some places don't have wireless and others that do don't always want to give out the pass word. Office Depot and a $37 Bluetooth dongle to the rescue. It took me a couple tries but I got it working.
