Here's a little python script to read the key presses from the remote  
and perform some action. I wrote it a couple of days ago before I dove  
into the firmware.

Push the red button and tux reads a canned weather report (found in 'weather.rep'.
Push the blue button and he offers a number guessing game.
Push yellow to quit.

I posted this to the tuxdroid-user list but I thought this might be a good place for it as well.

Here's an example weather report I get from the taskbar weather applet..
TONIGHT
MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SPRINKLES.
COLDER. LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S. NORTH WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. GUSTS UP
TO 25 MPH IN THE EVENING. 

SATURDAY
CLOUDY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW. A CHANCE
OF LIGHT RAIN
MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON. COLDER. HIGHS IN THE
LOWER 40S. NORTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH BECOMING NORTH AROUND
5 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 40 PERCENT.

## Borrowed tux.py and added some extra stuff..

hello

How can I get your script ? copy past code into a .py file ?

thanks !

Cut and paste should work..

Doesn't work for me. For red button it says
WARNING : Resource text to speech Acapela not found
and doesn't play any sounds.
for blue button i get an error message:
"explicit_status() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)"

I think is not compatibl with the api 2.0
