Hello,
So here's my second plugin (i really enjoy creating them).
The initial idea was to create a non-gui plugin that runs NetStumbler in the background and generate POI's for TomTom i use with my other plugin (PPCEmulator). So practicly it will search for AP's (Access Points) and generate POI's based on the location of the AP for TomTom, so i can easely navigate to a AP i've passed.
Now as i was coding i thought it maybe would be nice to see a list of the AP's found (generally the information NetStumbler shows). To that's when i decided to make a GUI and dump the netstumbler window in it.
Features:
- Search WiFi Access Points and save there location using GPS data (uses netstumbler)
- View and control NetStumbler within CF.
- Convert the netstumbler data to
75 different filetypes every 10 minutes (uses gpsbabel).
Bugs:
There's 1 bug that i'm aware of. Thats the Run On Startup option. For some reason NetStumbler shuts down when u try to launch it when CF is starting.
For now i don't know how to fix it, but i do know it has something to do with the SetParent function and the fact that de new parent is not visible. Netstumbler somehow dousn't accept that.
So don't use the Run On Startup option for now.
Requirements:
-
NetStumbler 0.4.0

Tips:
If you want to generate poi's it's best you create an empty textfile with the correct name and extention and then browse to it in the plugin setup page.
