Re: tangogps + geocaching (DL-link inside)

2009-05-28 Thread Bep Verberk
I'm assuming Marcus is quite busy. I emailed him 3 time about my
proposed changes to persist trip data and increase the number of trips
handled and got no replies. I'm gaining familiarity with his code but
I'm sure what I've done could use some polishing based on feedback
from Marcus.

At this point I have no idea if Marcus is willing to entertain these
types of contributions at all, is willing to hand off development of
TangoGPS to others, or just needs some time. I'd love to have his
opinions.

 Don't get me wrong here:
 I still think Marcus as the developer of TangoGPS is the best person to
 discuss all this with - I do not intend to fork or maintain any separate
 version, nor do I recommend to do so by any means!

 All I wanted was to get the code off my hands _NOW_  (actually already a lot
 earlier as some of you will know, sorry for the delay) , as I do not have
 the time to maintain or enhance it much at the moment , but hopefully it all
 ends up in official TangoGPS.

 Whether in can be included like it is now or after a thorough clean-up or
 restructuring by someone else I cannot tell, but at least all that is
 working fine for me is out there so nobody needs to duplicate the efforts.

 Hope this clears any possible misunderstandings, maybe Marcus will shed some
 light on his further plans with regard to TangoGPS, too.

 Great!

 Could someone convert this into an .ipk and share on opkg.org? How
 about starting a new project to continue the development of Tangogps
 independently if it'd allow a faster pace of development and more open
 contribution. Now that Stefan knows the code, it'd be possible..

  have you sent it also to marcus bauer?
 
 
  Of course I have, and even prior to the 0.9.6 release in february
  already -
  but as there haven't been any updates to TangoGPS since then  I wanted
  to
  get this as it is now so maybe someone else can also contribute. In
  addition, keeping up with the GUI changes without the glade files was a
  pain

tangogps0.9.6 - mod: persists trip data, adds multiple trips

2009-05-27 Thread Bep Verberk
This is a mod for  tangogps. It

1) persists the Trip data, and

2) adds multiple independent trips (5).

I use tangogps on my neo for an odometer in my old car. I wanted to
have a separate trip settings for oil changes, and, since the fuel
gauge doesn't work,  for petrol  fill-ups.

The changes are made to tangogps-0.9.6

Here is a src patch
http://verdebreuk.googlecode.com/files/tangogps.0.9.6mt_0.2.patch

and here is a complete openmoko package binary
http://verdebreuk.googlecode.com/files/tangogps-0.9.6mt_0.2_armv4t.ipk


A few usability notes:

Without this update tangogps starts the trip counter by default. With
this mod there are now 5 separate trip counters - all are OFF by
default.

Cycle through the separate trip counters using a new NEXT button.

When you first start up tangogps, cycle through the trip counters and
turn on the ones you want running for your current trip.

Starting, Stopping, and Reseting a trip counter works the same as
before with the caveat that the operation only affects the trip
counter currently displayed on the screen.

I hope someone else may find my changes useful.
cheers
Bep
