Hi list,
have had this android 5.1 tablet klipad smart i745 as a gift, and it
will be fun to use it to do the fader automation in Ardour.
Is there somebody on the list, that could say that it's possible to do,
or if am losing my time to try this?
At this point, am always searching a way to communicate between the
tablet and the pc, and am not sure at all if it's via USB or thru the
router that it have to be done..
Thanks!

I did this at one time and set up a webpage about it:

When I did this I was using a laptop and a table, both through a wifi router.

The other options are ardroid or ardouvy. Ardouvy works well for me, but I
have heard others have not been so lucky. TouchDAW has an OSC mode, but it
is quite broken. Ardour has a hack to make TouchDAW (or is it
TouchOSC?) work with the buttons but not the faders. There is an Android
applet called Control that seems like it would be able to control Ardour's
faders as it can send any number/type of OSC parameters. (TouchOSC/DAW is
limited to one float parameter making it unsuitable for many OSC uses)
Control is not easy to set up. The simple control creation does not seem
to send variable parameternumber/types but rather a script needs to be
used. The control template needs to be created (in json) on a pc and
up/downloaded to the android to make this work.
In all honesty, Ardour's OSC code is not up to the functionality of the
it's mackie control code at this time.

TouchDAW seems to map closer to the Mackie Control (there has been rather
a lot of changes in the MCP code in Ardour in the last little while).
Also, Ardour should be able to connect directly to touchDAW without
qmidinet as it has the same code in it. However, it may be that neither
touchDAW or Ardour operates in server mode and that may be why qmidinet is
needed. (I have used qmidinet on a different machine to connect controller
software direct to Ardour)

For a long time - in fact, since I first set up my BCF - I'd used a
custom mapping on the BCF and everything got set up around that. I've
since started using the BCF in Mackie mode and am perfectly happy with it,
but I've not gone back and tried the tablet again. It wasn't a very good
tablet and had issues of its own.

To make long story short, theses days are not the good ones to try to do
that?
Anyway, many thanks for your reply guys :)

My work on Ardour MCP started this last July when I found bugs while
trying to set up
http://www.ovenwerks.net/hardware/3dollarcontrolsurface.html and
http://www.ovenwerks.net/software/mcpdisp.html
my very cheap control surface test platform. I started with MIDI becasue
that was the easiest thing for me as a new programer to deal with. I would
like to add code to my controller to speak OSC (and OCA) in the future
though I am not sure I will get there before I start doing some nicer HW.
Using two keys for a fader or encoder is tedious to say the least and
makes smooth transitions impossible :)
There have been improvements in OSC though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhr5BLH8AnM showssome of the latest
set of changes. There is lots of work to do in Ardour and few people to do
it, OSC has most definitely not been forgotten and is still getting
updated, but no one is working on it full time. Any improvements in the
OSC code will probably also help the generic midi code as well.
