    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,...   ...

    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...

    Music Players

    Hi, GMU supports FLAC files. L/R buttons are mapped to Prev/Next track, and it have some playlist features. I found default key mapping a bit weird for my taste, but AFAIK it's configurable.

    Minimenu -- Likes And Dislikes? Requests?

    Hi, Voting for the DaveC way too :) A simple layout makes navigation simple and fast. If users want to have more category levels they can use the folder paradigm, as in every standard file manager. I'm thinking about an handy function we usually have in PC file managers (unless it already...

    Hi, Thanks Pickle! It worked for me. Curiously this trick was necessary to run the Doom WAD pack for wiz . But it is not needed for the doom1.wad shareware version.... (PrBoom 2.5.0, FW 1.1.0) EDIT: I've found that occurs when I use the doom1.wad _shareware_ version. I have no problem when...
