Thread: programing in the Uber Edition.

Open up "FusionConfiguration.xml". You can open it in almost any program. Notepad will work, but you wont get any of the cool XML formatting and error checking options. If you miss a quote mark ( " ) the entire XML will error out. Miss required whitespace, the whole XML will error out. Miss an opening or closing tag symbol (> or <) and the whole XML file will error out.

So I suggest you use a proper XML editing program unless you know what you are doing.

I think even Office products open xml files now, and there are a ton of programs free to downoad that will work too.

Basically setup an analogue input in the`"io" section. Then a simple "if greater than x and less than y then do z" is like this:

Code:

      <if fire_on="logic">
        <parameter1>
          <if>
            <parameter1>
              <analogue id="Steering Wheel Buttons" time="0"></analogue>
            </parameter1>
            <test check="greater than or equal to"></test>
            <parameter2>
              <number>X</number>
            </parameter2>
          </if>
        </parameter1>
        <test check="AND"></test>
        <parameter2>
          <if>
            <parameter1>
              <analogue id="Steering Wheel Buttons" time="0"></analogue>
            </parameter1>
            <test check="less than or equal to"></test>
            <parameter2>
              <number>Y</number>
            </parameter2>
          </if>
        </parameter2>
        <then>
          <do function="send key" functionTargetID="WINDOWTITLE" vote_opinion="KEYTOSEND" vote_priority="medium"></do>
        </then>
      </if>

obviously you have to replace X, Y, and then the WINDOWTITLE and KEYTOSEND with actual values. If you are using Winamp/RoadRunner, then just put "winamp" in for the window title and it will automatically fill that in. Otherwise, you will need the window title and/or class name of the program. The syntax is "TITLE::CLASS" but if there is a subtitle and subclass, then it is "TITLE::CLASS::SUBTITLE::SUBCLASS".

what are some of the free xml programs online to download that will work?
how would I write the values ou tfor steering wheel buttons? the mode button value is 3.39v, volume up 1.08v,volume down 0.37v, chan foward 2.66v, and chan back is 1.82v.all these values are for the resistive wire hook up to the fusionbrain. can you write this out for me like the example on top of page? I didnt know when buying this fusion brain that I was going to have to code every little control that I could have got with a keyboard or steering wheel control unit.It seems to me like a lot of work, for very simple
controls. Im not good at this coding thing, so when you explain this stuff, I just dont get coding. also I want these use in streetdeck and windows media player

XML Marker looks like it will do the job pretty well.

are you able to show me what it would look like with my vales from above?

replace x, y with what? what about streetdeck, would I just fill in windows media player for window title?

x and y are the histeresis settings. You could make it only half of that code, but then it would only send the volume up press when it is equal to the value 3.39v. Well it may be 3.39 volts once, but it might be 3.389v a second time. So you make a range. Hence why it says "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to".

So the lowest value that you have recorded minus a bit for good measure would be the lesser than value (Y above) and the highest value you recorded plus a bit for good measure would be greater than value (X above).

As for window title, I have no idea. I dont have Streetdeck, I dont use Streetdeck, I have no idea.

I dont know if StreetDeck opens WMP and sends instructions to it that way, or if it uses the WMP dll and doesnt actually open WMP.

If it opens WMP, then send to WMP directly. I know the class name for WMP is "WMPlayerApp" so the functionTargetID would be "::WMPlayerApp". If SD doesnt open WMP, then you need to find the class name of StreetDeck. There is a program called Spy++ that I use to find window names and such. I am sure a quick email/PM to one of the SD team will tell you, or just run the program and use something like Spy++ to see the details.

The vote_opinion is the keypress to do whatever. What button do you press for that function? If you press "D" on your keyboard and it plays Jingle Bells, then put "D" in for vote_opinion and when the above requirements are met, then Jingle Bells will play.

This code looks at the analog input. Youd define the analog input in the <io> section, below the timers. In the example skin file the part you look for is this:

Code:

<iochannel id="Outside Temp" port="0" brain="MainBrain" type="analogue_input">
      <options history="100" auto_average="true"></options>

make a new one of those, replacing "Outside Temp" with "Steering Wheel Buttons"


then the code 2k1Toaster wrote goes in the section <all statements>.

So for Mode=3.39, X is a value above 3.39 and Y is a value below 3.39, because analogs can drift a little, you should choose a value for x and y that give 3.39 a little wiggle room.

I completed most of what you said I need. just questions about: <then>
<do function="send key" functionTargetID="WINDOWTITLE" vote_opinion="KEYTOSEND" vote_priority="medium"></do>
</then>
so do I type in windows media player/streetdeck where ever it say '' windowtitle''?
