FreeEMS-Tuner Development Diary - Comments

-- I see the top bar reads [name] [version] [build], perhaps it would be nice if it also included [time] and some other data up there.
-- I see version and build date at the bottom as well, does it need to be in two places?

I was going to say that the top should read the firmware version that is being used too, and perhaps it should, but then again, perhaps it should just be as it is and the lower one (that I hadn't seen at all lol) should read the firmware version? I do think the firmware version should be obvious though. I think the following in the title bar :

"FreeEMS-Tuner 0.0.1 - FreeEMS Vanilla 0.0.17 pre-alpha"

Would be best and to reclaim that lower area for something else by removing the widget. This must be obtained from the device that is connected. The interface version should also be obtained and the interfaces range in the configuration/setup stuff should have to match or the app should refuse to work. If it has multiple configs available it could ask if you want to switch assuming it is available. You should note that multiple versions could and will share the same interface version, so what is displayed and how the app works are separate.

This is a cross post.

I like the recommendations in mantis. So I vote yes to those changes.

Can a time stamp be added to it as well, That way when we are taking a series of snap shots to remind ourselves (or to show others), we can know the sequence of the snap shots.

Comments added.

The distinction between interface version and what it means and firmware version and what that means is a very important one. Please be aware of that :-)

If anyone is interested in helping out (and learning python if you don't know it already), my gtalk address is hbcosmo <AT> gmail.com

Or email me on aaron.barnes <AT> hbcosmo.com

I would love to help out and brush up on python (i have never done anything serious with python) - let me know what you have in mind and i'll see if i can do anything about it. The next 2-3 weeks are going to be hectic for me - so i might be a little sluggish in responding......

I'd love to help out. Give me a small task with clearly defined directions (what am I implementing, what input should it take, and what should it output, etc.) and see if I can be of service. If I do well, let me tackle something bigger. If I do poorly, maybe I'll just have to wait until the project is much further on and things are not so time dependent, or crucial until I can get my feet wet. I'd love to give it a try though. Start me out very small so I can make sure my environment is decent for python development.

Best thing for both of you might just be to play with what is available and do something you want to do then see if it's useful? Worst case is you learn something and it gets binned. Best case is you learn something and it gets merged.

Thoughts?

I have a simple task for one of you, duplicate the red button in orange. Call the orange one soft reset and the red one hard reset. soft reset should have ID 8 and hard 10.

First one to post saying that they are doing it gets the job :-)
