Thread: RRTMS - RoadRunner tire monitoring system extension plugin

This plugin is designed to work in conjunction with my custom TPMS USB Receiver.
A detailed description of the whole project can be found here.

How it works:
Pressure and temperature information are sent to the receiver and displayed on the car pc screen. When an under-inflated, over-inflated or over-heated tire is detected, RoadRunner will switch to the plugin skin and, if available, an audible voice message is spoken to warn the driver. The alerts depend on threshold value set for pressure and temperature by the config utility.
This plugin has been developed as “Extension Plugin” using the guideline provided by Guino (thank you Guino), so it can be integrated in RoadRunner easily.

How to install:
Copy the files provided in the RoadRunner folder and the skin files in your favorite skin folder (you can also use the skin provided (that is part of my BMW-E36 skin) as a guideline to develop your own skin.
Register the DLL, from a command prompt type: regsvr32 RRTMS.dll
Add in your "MENU.SKIN" the command "X,RRTMS" and create a button with the comand "TMS" in order to switch to the plugin screen.
Launch the utility “RRTMS Config” and set all the stuff.

“TMS_PRESSURE_ALERT” – Indicates that the pressure of a tire is under or over the threshold values
