The Dianemo iOS Orbiter is a touch orbiter based on RoamingOrb by Foxi352. It uses the same techniques as WebOrbiter 2.0 and Touch Orbiter in that it connects with an instance of proxy_orbiter running on your Dianemo NerveCentre or LinuxMCE Core. Dianemo iOS Orbiter is compatible with both Dianemo NerveCentre's & LinuxMCE Core's but will offer a number of additional features and capabilities when used in conjunction with a NerveCentre. The Dianemo iOS Orbiter is compatible with iPhone3G, iPhone3GS, iPhone4, all models of iPod Touch and iPad.

After having installed the app you first have to set your preferences. Dianemo iOS Orbiter integrates into the standard "Settings" app of your iOS device. Touch the Settings app and scroll down to the "Dianemo" entry. Touch "Dianemo" to change the settings You should at least set the server IP and the server port of the proxy orbiter for your iOS device. If you have installed the App on an iPhone then setting the 'Restrict to WiFi' setting to 'On' will stop your iPhone from using the mobile network accidentally. Poll delay will adjust how frequently the App checks back with the Core to see if there are any updates for the currently displayed screen (usually it is best to leave this setting at its default '1 sec' setting). The 'Image reload on shake' option allows you to trigger a screen reload by shaking your iOS device (useful if the 'Poll delay' setting is set to longer than a few secs). The 'Image load indicator' setting determines whether the App displays am animated progress 'wheel' in the centre of the screen when ever an update is underway.
