Thread: GPS-Based internet data

He was using it as an example...duh. Asking if there was a similar cmd for weather PI now

The OP was for both.

I will change my weather code back to RELOADWEATHER and verify.

I am curious what the developer of RRGAS would suggest as code to put in the exectbl.ini to get RRGAS to load the gas.skin and pull the internet data immediately for the current GPS location.

Thanks Blue for looking into the weather PI and Enforcer I await your reply.

Try this

"GAS","BYVAR;GASFIRST;RRGAS||RRGAS_GPS||SETVAR;GASFIRST;1<<RRGAS"

note: no space in GASFIRST

and add to ONRESUME

"SETVAR;GASFIRST;0"

and to ONSKINSTART (if required)

"SETVAR;GASFIRST;0"



and Blue

Well I was close. Didn't think to use a variable that way. Thanx

Just not yet

O.K. Here are my findings:
Weather - yes, reloadweather does use the GPS data if the above conditions are met.

RRGAS - thanks Enforcer for your suggestion. I am using your exact code, i.e, the following,
"GAS","BYVAR;GASFIRST;RRGAS||RRGAS_GPS||SETVAR;GASFIRST;1<<RRGAS"

Unfortunately, I am having some issues with RRGas 1.6 that I need your help with.
1. I have added an RRGAS slider on top of the RRGAS_UPDATED label, and I also have a pop-up that stays onscreen that says "Loading Gas Prices". The problem is if I use the RRGAS_GPS button commands none of the above give me any indication that anything is happening and the RRGAS_UPDATED label never changes. If I use RRGAS_ZIPCODE, neither the pop-up nor the slider do anything; the only way I know its updated is the label, RRGAS_UPDATED, eventually does change when the operation is complete. I guess part of what I'm asking is "does RRGASSEARCHING and RRGASDONE fire when using the RRGAS_ZIPCODE and RRGAS_GPS button commands?" I know it does for RRGAS_REFRESH.

2. Does the RRGAS_GPS button command update the RRGAS_ZIPCODE label? (mine doesn't)

3. RRGAS_#_fdnavigate does switch my skin to the GPS screen, but does not set the route. (I am using your personal edition of FD. Is there something in the FD or RR ini that I should check, I know I don't have all the send/recieve stuff turned on)

"does RRGASSEARCHING and RRGASDONE fire when using the RRGAS_ZIPCODE and RRGAS_GPS button commands?"


Yes they do if those commands are successful in the first instance, ie zipcode will need a zipcode from the OSK and GPS will need to receive non zero GPS coords from roadrunner, detect internet and then retrieve a non blank zipcode from those GPS coords.


2. will again only update the zipcode if it receives non zero GPS coords from roadrunner, detects internet and then retrieves a non blank zipcode from those GPS coords.

3. will not work if the plugin has not been able get GPS coords from the stations Zipcode.


To fully understand what is happening for you I will need a debug of what RRGas is doing.

Add debug=true to the gas.ini and send me the resulting debug.txt file.
