feature requests - tkoning - 2016-04-28
Hi
two small feature request for a fine program
I have 2 gps units, i would like to switch ( and switch back) from primary to secondary gps if the signal from the primary gps fails
I've used the failover statement in kplex, but it does not appear to switch back
The switch command activates or deactivates things. I would like a toggle switch so i can start and stop wifi with one switch for example

I think the failover statement in kplex would be the best way to do that. What was the problem?
There is already an action for start/stop a wifi access point.

Hi
1) I,ve added the kplex statement to the openplotter generated config file. Output went from primary to secondary gps, buit did not switch back when primary gps started working again.
2) i would like a toggle switch, like press once wifi off, press again wifi back on

1) ah, ok you want back to primary gps. I don't know if kplex has this option. Maybe you could ask for this in kplex forum. You could set the failover in kplex and set a trigger in OP to detect if lat or lon are not present for x seconds, and add an action to reset kplex.
2) You can. Set a switch xxx in OP. Connect the switch to GPIO pins. Create a trigger: "if switch xxx is on..." set an action "start wifi AP"; create another trigger "if switch xxx is off..." set an action "stop wifi AP" and that's all. You could do the same with mqtt to create virtual switches in your phone.

hello!
two questions about new features...:
1) could it be possible to use accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to increase the sensitivity of steer and optimize heading in rough sea condition? (... thorugh evaluating i.e. the wave period in last 10' span? .... driving a power module directly connected to steer actuator and hall sensor as feedback?)
2) could be possible merge message from magnetometer, accelerometer, GPS-derived heading/speed and log-derived speed to calculate true wind (force and direction)?
With a lot of compliments for your hard job!!
