Hello All, Linrad-02.26 will have support for user defined control of the serial port both under Linux and Windows (I hope).
I have added a calendar so now the moon position will work under Windows. The remaining details are these three ones: 1) It would be nice to show the CPU load under Windows. The system monitor uses up a lot of resources, particularly during startup or when the window is moved so it would be nice to not have to use it. Maybe there is a dll somewhere that could be used to get this info? 2) The speech processing simulation uses random numbers. Under Linux the function random() returns a random integer between 1 and 2147483647 but I have not found anything suitable in Windows. I have not found one but it should be easy to make a quasi-random generator because the requirements are really low. Is there anyone who can suggest a suitable (simple) algorithm? 3) Under Linux one has to call sync() to make sure that data written to a file actually is written to the hard disk. It is not enough to call flush(fd) How is it under Windows? Is there something one should do to make sure that data written to the disk really will be in place even if Linrad crashes so the file is not closed properly? Calling sync regularly under Linux helps to rearrange the information on the disk more often thus reducing the risk that a big reorganization will steal too much CPU time and cause interruptions on the A/D or D/A. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <linrad@antennspecialisten.se>.
