Topic: BUG SDK / How to run an application?

The answer depends on the application. Generally the apps I have written start up once you plug the modules you need to run the program into the BUG base. For example, the Basic Calculator (http://www.buglabs.net/applications/kschultz/Ba… opens once you plug in the LCD module.

The advantage to this system is that the apps pop up immediately without having to navigate through the menu. The disadvantage is that it doesn’t scale past an application or two, if you have 10 apps that turn on as soon as the LCD gets plugged in, you have a problem. Generally the apps in the future will be accessible from the menu (navigated with the 4 buttons to the right of the status screen).

Which application were you using?

Topic: BUG SDK / How to run an application?

Here’s a dumb question (but I really can’t find the answer in the wiki): How do you run an application? I’ve got a sample downloaded to the BUG (I can see it on My BUG in Eclipse) but what next?

Topic: BUG SDK / New connection required each time?

As near as I can tell, each time you restart the BUG and connect
it to a Mac (OS 10.5) you will have to create a completely new network
connection using the procedure outlined in the Wiki. The old one is
still there, with the correct settings saved, but the BUG won’t use it.

Does anyone else have this issue. Is there a workaround?

Topic: BUG SDK / Requesting position before BUGlocate has a fix

There is something funky about the way devices go about acquiring GPS signals. I have a Garmin unit and some days it takes 30 seconds and some days it takes 20 minutes to acquire. I do not understand the intricacy of the connection but it is frustrating when it takes a while to ascertain where you are.

Topic: Applications / LCD Size - What I found on My Bug

Okay I keep seeing the reference on the forums as 320×240, but I was messing with changing the size. I Find on mine if I want edge to edge on both top and bottom that 325×245 worked best, with 320×240 I saw a bit on right and bottom still avail

Topic: BUGbase / Base won't power on consistently w/o charger

Hi finsprings,

I’ll give you a call to discuss this issue; we had seen this a few times while in pre-production but I’m sorry you’re experiencing it with your BUG! :oops:

Thanks!

Topic: BUGbase / BugBase Boot Problem

John

The command you posted was helpful, but with slight modification

The kernel.log, is kern.log, at least on what I have on my bug the R1.1 FS

So I was messing around, I would run the tail command, mess with the joystick, then do it again.

So looks like my right may not be working. here is what I find

code 265 – Joystick Down
code 264 – Joystick Up
code 263 – Joystick Right

No code value is logged when I try to click Right

Also something I found when reloading the Filesystem on the MMC, you have to re-setup your connection at least in Vista.

I will be on IRC for a bit, I see your logged in

Topic: Applications / GPSUtilities & LocationList services

Thanks for the suggestion I was looking for things to add to it but I got stuck in a mental rut, I think i’m going to look into meta data type stuff. No promises on the timing, I get back to Bug Labs in about 3 weeks but if I get a chance before then I will see what I can do.
