node-red-contrib-vnc

Node-red node allowing control of a VNC Server

N.B. This has been thrown together for a personal project and it's most-likely not efficent and doesn't have much error handling! I have released it as I cannot find VNC nodes elsewhere so it may be useful to others for similar purposes. I will try to release updates when time permits

Current Nodes

• vnc-client - Configuration node containing server details
• info - Gets server info (name, height and width)
• keyboard - Allows sending of key presses or strings to the remote server
• mouse - Allows sending of mouse movememnts and button presses to the remote server
• clipboard - Allows sending or receiving of clipboard to/from the remote server
• screenshot - Returns a screenshot from the remote server as a PNG buffer

To-Do

• Change credentials to use Node's credentials functions
• Example flows to follow

Pre-requesites

None!
