piBeacon: 10- How to use plot beacon positions

[johnpolasek]

Didn't see your later posts till now, but playing last night at home, setting all the Zs to 0 didn't help, but when I moved the x coordinate back and forth, 70 and under appeared, 71 through 74 sometimes appeared depending on the y, and anything 75+ never appeared... I'll check those logs tonight when I can get to the machine that the server's running on. But don't waste a lot of time on this if you've got other stuff to do; like I said earlier, I rarely used this feature and didn't even notice it was having problems till I started playing with new types of beacons.

[kw123]

I checked the code. And have not found any cut off besides x y max set in config.

So if you check the log file you should see
A if the plugin sends the device info to the plot pgm
B what the plot program does
- 1 receive which devices.
- 2 if it gets plotted
And the parameters used

found it:

Code: Select all

			if pos[0] > Yscale :	continue
			if pos[1] < 0	  :		continue

should be:

Code: Select all

			if pos[1] > Yscale :	continue
			if pos[1] < 0	  :		continue

== tested x position against Ymax and not Xmax

and in my setup Ymax is bigger than Xmax so it never hit my setup

will post a fix

please check the latest release v7.103.273 for that bug fix .

Well I thought that fixed it, but then when I checked this morning, I discovered that it only updated the png once; the document in the documents folder is 2 days old, even though when I turned logging back on, it indicates that piBeacon THINKS it's updating the file:

[johnpolasek]

Found it looking at the above; Jeff's keys did not have a color set, so when he got home, the RGB of null killed the file generation. I set the color on that beacon and it;'s working now.

[kw123]

Will add some more checks to catch these


But if you open the device it should populate the colors w default values.
They should never be empty

But if you have never edited the device the prop might be empty.

adding some more check and improved logging to plot positions:
logfile will look like this - and ALL errors should show up.

Hi Karl,

Any ideas why my background plot png file is not being used? I just get blank plots generated. I have it here.

/Volumes/Macintosh SSHD/Users/simon/indigo/piBeacon/plotPositions/background.png

is that correct?

Thanks... Simon

[kw123]

the directory for the output file and the background file is the same. it is set in config

you can set debug position plot on and check this log file:
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.3/Logs/com.karlwachs.piBeacon/plugin.log

then you should see something like this::

sorry I was wrong, that's the output directory. The background is loaded from:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.3/Preferences/Plugins/com.karlwachs.piBeacon/plotPositions/background.png


will add automatic search in that directory and image output directory for background.png

added the background.png file location option in release 7.105.287 - set in config
