gps speed based event

**scott_fx** · 05-08-2011, 03:41 PM

Hey guys,

i'm very new to modifying skins but im having a great time with it. I have a special application that i'm not sure how to accomplish. basically I have a button that sets off a few different events (via mjsgadget's usb-io).

is there a way that i can hit a button, have it set off 2 commands and then wait for the 3rd command once the gps speed goes above 5 mph?

i have never done any programming so bare with me on this. i was looking in the skin commands doc and came across the following entries, but i'm not sure how to implement them.

"IFVAR" - simple variable compare (equals or not equals only and string contains)
ex. "IFVAR;myvar=5;DOTRUE<<DOFALSE"
if myvar = 5 then "DOTRUE" would execute, else "DOFALSE"
ex. "IFVAR;myvar<>1;DOTRUE<<DOFALSE"
if myvar <> 1 then "DOTRUE" would execute, else "DOFALSE"
ex. "IFVAR;MYVAR~#;TRUECODE<<FALSECODE"
if MYVAR contains a "#" then "TRUECODE" else "FALSECODE"

"GPSSPDN" - GPS Speed (Number only -- doesn't show Mi/h or Km/h) (Ride Runner Only)

would it look something like this?

/WedgeControl Buttons
B,25,114,252,115,"IFVAR;GPSSPDN>5;wedgeadvanced"

and how would how would i go about implementing the other two command before it?
i have 3 variables in the ExecTbl

1. "fillall"
2. "setPP"
3. "wedgeadvanced"

B,25,114,252,115,"fillall||setPP||IFVAR;GPSSPDN>5; wedgeadvanced"

While not trying to plug my own plugin here but... this could be accomplished via the Global timer feature in my RRExtended PI. Found Here

new btn code:

B,25,114,252,115,"fillall||setPP||GblTmr_Add;gpsspdcheck;.5;checkspd"

then add the cmd its gonna call every 1/2 sec to the exectbl.ini file

"CheckSpd","IFVAR;GPSSPDN>5; wedgeadvanced"

and on the end of your wedgeadvanced cmd add: GblTmr_Delete;gpsspdcheck. eg.. "wedgeadvanced","xxxxxxx||GblTmr_Delete;gpsspdchec k"

What this does, is that when you click your btn, it creates the timer "gpsspdcheck" and sets it to run every 1/2 second, which will execute the checkspd cmd. Then the CheckSpd cmd checks your speed and when it is over 5, executes your wedgeadvanced cmd. At the end it deletes the gpsspdcheck timer as you only need it when you click your btn.
