GMC-300 source code
(Message 4095)
Posted 201 days ago by xii5ku As mentioned at TeAm AnandTech's forum, I am looking into rewriting the gmc300 application from scratch (based on the available radac_1.77 source code). I am going by the assumption that TJM's gmc300 code is lost forever. A Linux version should be my first goal, a Windows port after that, and later a multiplatform app with transparent support for both R@h's own hardware and GQ devices in a single application, for potential integration into Radiactive@Home proper. Caveat: I never have much spare time, hence progress will be arbitrarily slow. At minimum, glacially slow. But there is a basic problem with adding support for more devices to Radioactive@Home: As TJM already pointed out, different Geiger-Müller counters have different CPM to µSv/h conversion factors. For the time being, this conversion happens on Radioactive@Home's server, with the conversion factor for Radioactive@Home's native hardware baked in. Possible approaches: – Best would be to extend the client-server protocol to communicate the proper conversion factor from client to server. We might very well need different conversion factors for some of the GQ devices which we could support; I haven't checked yet. – Or the client could send adjusted pulse counts to the server. This assumes that all what the project is interested in is the µSv/h timelines, not the real pulse count records. – Or we could live with the error. After all, I suspect that the currently supported hardware is not energy calibrated anyway, and several of the GQ devices cannot be user-calibrated (and those which can be, more likely won't ever be). |

Number crunching :
[site bug] coordinate labels at show_host_detail.php are swapped
(Message 4093)
Posted 202 days ago by xii5ku Dear site admins, when a sensor is to be added to the map, we need to enter coordinates at the host details page in the following way: Long: [ latitude ] Lat: [ longitude ] ... [Add sensor!] The page should be changed to show Lat: [ latitude ] Long: [ longitude ] ... [Add sensor!] instead. Current HTML from show_host_detail.php: Long: <input id='lat' name='loc1' /> Lat: <input id='lng' name='loc2' /> Should be changed to Lat: <input id='lat' name='loc1' /> or, spending a few more electrons,Long: <input id='lng' name='loc2' /> Latitude: <input id='lat' name='loc1' /> Longitude: <input id='lng' name='loc2' /> (The general convention is to specify latitudinal degree first and longitudinal degree second. Hence, the order of the input fields should remain as it is, only the order of the labels should be swapped.) |
