    GPS data : How to Capture it ?

    It should be registered into /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf This is a simple text file where you can declare your GPS. Mine looks like that: rfcomm0 { bind no; device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; channel 1; comment “GPS”; } So the device name is /dev/rfcomm0 . May be it's slighty different on your side...

    GPS data : How to Capture it ?

    You could use gpsdecode . this commandline tool comes with Gpsd package See http://pandorawiki.org/GPS . gpsdecode can convert raw data to JSON ouput. So you could write a simple shell/python script to extract some useful data (coordinates, altitude, etc).

    GPS data : How to Capture it ?

    Hi, Once connected, my BT GPS can be accessed via /dev/rfcomm0 . Then, to get raw data from GPS I type: $ cat /dev/rfcomm0 If your GPS is NMEA compliant  (most of them are) you should see these sort of lines filling up your terminal:     $GPRMC,212215.000,A,4553.7413,...   ...

    Not sure, however this (directory) path is hardcoded into /usr/pandora/scripts/op_power.sh and into the source files of /usr/libexec/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-battery-plugin .

    Release Pandora flashlight

    Instead of coding several features I wonder if it could be more interesting to explore another solution that keeps your codebase small without sacrificing expandability. On one hand let Flashlight doing just one thing and do it well, that is displaying light and colors (perhaps with text or...

    Release Pandora flashlight

    Once the light is off you could trigger a user-defined command which could be for example "shutdown -h now" or anything else.

    Release Pandora flashlight

    Wow, really neat! Pretty well polished for a first release. And I like the fact that it takes advantage of pandora specific features. I've not encountered any annoying bugs while playing with this little beast. My biggest remark would be that Flashlight eats about 7% of CPU when idle...

    Hi _wb_ Newbie here. Good idea! As every handheld in the world, OP shoud have its flashlight application! I like the stroboscope function. Do you plan to allow frequency control ? Some time ago I've managed to code my own flashlight for my GP2X-WIZ but never finished it. Here are the...

    Hi, First, thanks for this upgrade, powersaving is a must! The "Pandora input tester" application (from xfce "system" menu) does not work properly with kernel 3.2, but works well with 2.6.27 . I've a black screen upon start up and I must press a key to see the virtual keyboard. Another...
