I've done a little step more in my own control panel, this is a wifi signal icon and wifi information bar which allows to turn on or off wifi connection in chumby. It just refresh when you press the refresh button.
Wifi Signal Icon and Information
Little Linux Console Added!
Simple Alarm working!
The typographies I've chosen for the Cosmicpanel are,
for big texts and numbers: AUdimat Modern, nice caps, fresh numbers & Free
for little texts and non smoothed: PX Sans Nouveaux Easy reading, edgy & Free
More free fonts: dafont | fontsquirrel | fontsforflash
This is a very primary version of cosmicpanel for chumby, just implemented the clock, date, events manager, a bit of the fast menu, dim/off screen and turn off chumby. Also a little console just to watch some information about the accelerometers and the events.
The objective of this movie is test the interaction sensors and possibilities to interact
Interaction elements
Bent sensor
sensor: _bent = ASnative(5,25)
for: Fast Menu
Pitch
sensor: _accelerometer = ASnative(5, 60), _accelerometer(3), _accelerometer(4)
for: Fast Menu
Roll
sensor: _accelerometer(2)
for: maybe lateral menu if lateral hits don't work
Lateral Hits
sensor: function( _accelerometer(2)[t=1] - _accelerometer(2)[t=0] )
for: lateral menu
Code
The basic code is the next:
this.onEnterFrame=function(){ if(is_event){ wait_frames--; }else{ lookBent(); lookRoll(); lookHit(); lookPitch(); } if(wait_frames==0){ reset } updateStatus(); }
Conclusion
- As the 12fps is quite fast, it has been necessary to add a timer when an event has been triggered.
- Pitch Up / Down are inverse than in code
- Fast Menu: using Bent sensor and Pitch Up/Down
- Menu: is possible to use lateral hit, even sometimes left & right are not well detected. We can use both to open it
