Thread: Fusion Brain program for Linux

Update: I still don't know how to use PWM. I've got MomentarySingleOutput() working, BUT: subsequent dbus calls to fbd are queued up and only take place after the delay, so it seems I'll have to rethink and rewrite.

j

I'm not too much of a programmer, but I know a little perl.

before I go and spend the extra money on an FB, I wanted to run my thought by everyone to see if there were any immediate problems with my idea.

I'd like to write a gtk2 app in perl that makes dbus calls to fbd and turns on and off some relays. if I can make THAT work I'll think about expanding to other things.

Also if anyone has some tips on how to "integrate" my app into nGhost i'm all ears.

Something like:

Code:

use Net::DBus;
my $fb = Net::DBus->session
    ->get_service('org.openice.fbd')
    ->get_object('/org/openice/fbd')
;
$fb->SetSingleOutput(3,1);

could be used to turn on output 3. (silkscreened '4' on board) I can't help with the nGhost end of things though.

spot on! thanks a bunch now to code up a simple gtk2 gui and wait for my FB to be delivered!

I got around to looking at and testing this, and realized I screwed up. It should be "my $fb = Net::DBus->system", since we're dealing with system bus instead of session bus.

i think there's something wrong with your program man there's no .exe file.
free bump

Ummm, what program are you referring to? And why are you looking for a .exe file for a linux program anyway?

I think he is jesting... If I remember correctly he is a linux man, he knows there arent any exe's, just giving the thread a bump.
