squiddio plugin

Does Ocpn_draw_pi have an object suitable for POI for squiddio now?
I don't know if this was ever the plan but continued development of squiddio might be able to use it, rather than Waypoints, and this might help keep the Waypoints and routes separate.

@rgleason: I don't know but it sounds like something worth looking into on squiddio's part. I will report back when I have more info.

Rick,
You could use a Text Point to give information on the POI. Currently there is no way to create one except through the UI. However, it would be fairly simple to add a JSON message that could give the information needed. Just look at the properties a TP has and provide those. You would need a lat/lon as a minimum and probably the display text. After that, well.....

If this is wanted can you raise a flyspray for it. I will then look at providing this type of interface once the current OD hits production.

Maurice,
It sounds like it could be done and Jon is willing to help.
It would probably be a later version because opencpn.lib would have to be augmented.
It might be worthwhile looking into this further.

Made this change to ocpn_plugins.h and built with opencpn.lib version 4.2.0
and it is working.
Have uploaded to OpenCPN Beta File Thingie rguser rgpass
under 4.2.0 PI WIN

squiddio_pi-0.4-ov4.2-ocpn_plugin.h-changed-win32

Coupdemistral let us know when it is updated please.


Thank you Bdbcat!

Rick...

Is this version 0.4, or 0.5? I want to get the name right...

Thanks
Dave

Rick...

I assumed it was 0.5, and renamed accordingly. The copy on opencpn.org PlugIns page is now up-to-date.

Thanks

Dave, I did not change the version from the old version, so you're update is probably correct.

[coupdemistral]

I pushed a new commit to github with v 0.6 of squiddio_pi yesterday.

[coupdemistral]

@jongough
thanks for the info. Let me look into this as soon as I have some time.

coupdemistral...

Tried to build github 0.6 and got errors on Windows build in wxJSON class.

You probably should simply copy the latest wxJSON sources from the OCPN core source tree to enable build for Windows. We modified them there to fix this problem some time ago.

I'll wait for that github update before building and uploading 0.6

Thanks
Dave

Tried Maurice's repos this time rather than bdbcat's fork and it seems to build now.
There were just a couple of warnings.
Now labeled squiddio_pi-0.7-win32
will upload to file thingie as squiddio_pi-0.7-ov4.2-win32
if a quick test shows it is working.

Build succeeded.

I installed the squiddio pluggin and it seems to be working except that I keep getting a bell every ten seconds. Is there any way to disable or stop this bell from sounding? I'm using all the latest opencpn and squiddio.

I restarted opencpn and all is good now. Thanks. Solved.

[coupdemistral]

the bell is triggered by the sending of position updates. You must have that feature set to send updates every 10 seconds. Unfortunately there is currently no way to turn the bell off. If it's driving you crazy, you can perhaps change the frequency of updates (in settings).

How does one hide the pop-up window that appears when logging active?

It seems persistent and fixed as the top window. Which on my screen real estate is PITA. Dragging it off to one side seems rather inelegant.

Shouldn't it simply appear on top when a new entry is made and then allow either closing of sending to the background?
