Hi Stackover'followers :). I'm very much new to Stackoverflow. Let me put forward a question I have regarding Instant Contiki. Anybody who has idea on Instant Contiki, zolertia motes, REST Server, is welcomed to resolve it out.
I could successfully work on the two different motes by considering 'z1-websense.c' and 'rest-server-example.c'.
But I want to get the result of 'z1-websense.c' which is the
temperature, by executing the 'rest-server-example.c'.
So, regarding this, there is something to be done in the 'rest-server-example.c' code, may be by calling a function for z1-websense.c, which I'm unable to crack it.
Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
the rest-engine app on Contiki let's you set up resources and handlers for methods called on them.
So, if I understood, you want to tweak the resource GET handlers in er-example-server to taylor onto the z1 mote, in particular a resource for the battery sensor and a resource for the temperature one.
If you take a look at z1-websense.c the values are retrieved and simply scaled (lines 66-79).
static int
get_battery(void)
{
return battery_sensor.value(0);
}
static int
get_temp(void)
{
return temperature_sensor.value(0);
}
static float get_mybatt(void){ return (float) ((get_battery()*2.500*2)/4096);}
static float get_mytemp(void){ return (float) (((get_temp()*2.500)/4096)-0.986)*282;}
Take that code and inject it into the battery and temperature resources you can find hereenter link description here and you are done.
So in the end you will have something like
file res-battery.c, line 60
float battery = ( battery_sensor.value(0) *2.500*2) /4096 ;
You should do similarly for the temperature and you are done.
Remember to deactivate all sensors/resources you are not interested in, since they would take precious memory.
I cannot test it right now, but this should work.

im trying to create a route that follows a gps trace i provide.
The gps trace is cleaned up and it has no loops in it and is in correct order.
I checked it with other services.
It has 1920 points.
You can find the trace here GPX Files
Sadly if i create a route based on provided sdk example (github) i get loops in my path.
I was hoping you could help me to solve following problems:
how do i avoid loops while creating route by using HERE ios Swift SDK
how do i set route options is such way to follow provided point array and not create a fastest or balanced route.
Since i could not find those functions in Ios sdk i used additional REST API to filter the route a bit to remove all points that were not matched correctly according to here maps... before drawing the route.. ie everything with low probability, warnings, big distance to the road... yet the result is still not good. Here is a cleaned up file.. the file is being created after the original was maped / run once through HERE Maps. In this file all points that have low confidence or produce warnings or have big distance to original points .. are removed. This is the one i use to create a route and it still have the same issues like loops and weird turns.
Thank you very much in advance!

So far i have this code:
private lazy var router = NMACoreRouter()
#objc func do_routing_stuff( gps_trace :[NMAWaypoint]) {
var stops = [Any]()
stops = gps_trace
let routingMode = NMARoutingMode(routingType: .fastest,
transportMode: .car,
routingOptions: .avoidHighway)
// Trigger the route calculation
router.calculateRoute(withStops: stops ,
routingMode: routingMode)
{ [weak self] routeResult, error in
guard error == .none else {
self?.showMessage("Error:route calculation returned error code \(error.rawValue)")
return
}
guard let result = routeResult, let routes = result.routes, routes.count > 0 else {
self?.showMessage("Error:route result returned is not valid")
return
}
// Let's add the 1st result onto the map
self?.route = routes[0]
self?.updateMapRoute(with: self?.route)
// self?.startNavigation()
}
}
private func updateMapRoute(with route: NMARoute?) {
// remove previously created map route from map
if let previousMapRoute = mapRoute {
mapView.remove(mapObject:previousMapRoute)
}
guard let unwrappedRoute = route else {
return
}
mapRoute = NMAMapRoute(unwrappedRoute)
mapRoute?.traveledColor = .clear
_ = mapRoute.map{ mapView?.add(mapObject: $0) }
// In order to see the entire route, we orientate the
// map view accordingly
if let boundingBox = unwrappedRoute.boundingBox {
geoBoundingBox = boundingBox
mapView.set(boundingBox: boundingBox, animation: .linear)
}
}
in comparison same route presented with leaflet maps.
I believe the problem you have is that you are feeding the Routing API a large number of waypoints, all of which are in close proximity to each other.
You have almost 2000 waypoints in your GPX file (and ~1300 in your cleaned one). Each of these waypoints is less than 10 meters distance from their closest neighbors. This is not the type of data that the Routing API is really designed to work with.
I've experimented with your GPX Trace and I have come up with the following solution: simply skip a bunch of coordinates in your trace.
First, clean up your trace using the Route Matching API (which I believe you have been doing).
Second, pick the first trkpt in the GPX file as your first waypoint for the Routing call. Then skip the next 20 points. Pick the following trkpoint as the second waypoint. Repeat this until you are at the end of the file. Then add the last trkpt in the trace as the final waypoint.
Then call the Routing API and you should get a good match between your trace and your route, without any loops or other weird routing artefacts.
Some notes:
I have picked 20 as the number of traces to skip, because this would put about 200m in between each waypoint. That should be close enough to ensure that the Routing API does not deviate too much from the traced route. For larger traces you may wish to increase that number. For traces in urban environments with lots alternate routes, you may want to use a smaller number.
It's important to clean the data with the Route Matching API first, to avoid picking outliers as waypoints.
Also, you may not wish to use the "avoidHighways" option. Given your use case, there doesn't seem to be a benefit and I could see it causing additional problems.
By now you probably worked it out, but your waypoints are likely landing on bridges or tunnels that are along your route but not on the road you want. I.e. the waypoint is intended to be on the road under the bridge but the routing engine perceives that you want to drive on the bridge.
The routing engine is looping around those roads to drive you on that waypoint on the bridge or in the tunnel.
There is no simple solution to this that I have found.
Okay, so I have spent a large amount of time searching the internet for help on this to no success, so I would like some help.
I am making a game with SpriteKit, and I have decided to implement my own leaderboard style, rather than the clunky Game Center default. I have managed to log the user into GC, but cannot find the correct (and working) Swift 3 code for pulling information from the leaderboard. I want to pull the top 10 score, along with the current user score (if they aren't already in the top 10). The information I would like from them is position, username and score.
I know this is a fairly simple concept, but every tutorial online either uses the default GC view, or is extremely old/outdated code which no longer works. I just need to know how to pull this information from the leaderboard, then I can process it all myself!
Thank you for any help in advance!
It seems like Apple doesn't have proper example code in Swift, but here's a Swift version loosely based on their Objective-C example:
let leaderboard = GKLeaderboard()
leaderboard.playerScope = .global
leaderboard.timeScope = .allTime
leaderboard.identifier = "YourIdentifier"
leaderboard.loadScores { scores, error in
guard let scores = scores else { return }
for score in scores {
print(score.value)
}
}
Note, this is just a translation from Apple's Objective-C code, and I haven't tested it with real data.
I banged and banged my head on this one for a while and I figured someone else may have this problem down the line. I'm posting my full issue and resolution to those who come later, and to offer a spot for any improvements/simplifications if anyone finds one.
Issue was I am trying to paint VerticalLineAnnotations on my ChartArea. I do not want to anchor it to any data points but merely anchor it to an X axis based on which ChartArea I send in. In my annotation constructor I was trying to set AnchorX.
double maxdate = chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.Maximum;
double mindate = chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.Minimum;
//use inputdata to find where relative spot is.
if(DateTime.TryParse(date, out ddate)) {
AnchorX = (ddate.ToOADate()) / (maxdate - mindate);
}
I kept getting the mins and maxs to return as NaN, which I found out means the ChartArea will manage itself and set its own max/mins. This was all pre-painting.
I tried post painting but then everytime it painted, it would add annotation, then do postpaint again and infinite loop.
I finally found an event that lets me do this. The Customize() event solved this issue.
private void chart_Customize(object sender, EventArgs e) {
PaintAnnotations();
}
Now immediately before the painting happens, data seems to be loaded and max and mins are already set by this point and I can get values back in the code from above.
Hope this can save someone the hours that I lost!
I did some research into this and couldn't really find anything, so if this is a repetitive question I apologize. but anyway I have made a CCB file in CocosBuilder and I would like to start the timeline, for example, at one second instead of playing from the beginning. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help guys.
Edit: i would like this to be done in the code.
I am using 2.2.1 Cocos2DX version. I think there is no option to play it from given interval. But you can tweak yourself to get it done. (Not simple one)
You have to go to CCBAnimationManager and there you get "mNodeSequences".
It is dictionary and you get difference properties there like "rotation position etc..."
values there.
Internally AnimationManager reads this value (These values are specified in your CCB)
and puts in runAction queue.
So you have to break it as you want.(Ex. 5 min timeline you have. But you want to start
from 1 min then you have run first 1 min Actions without delay and for remaining you
have properly calculate tween intervals.
It's long procedure and needs calculation. If you don't know any other simpler way try this. If you know pls let us know (Post it).
I have been using mach_absolute_time() for all my timing functions so far. calculating how long between frames etc.
I now want to get the exact time touch input events happen using event.timestamp in the touch callbacks.
the problem is these two seem to use completely different timers. sure, you can get them both in seconds, but their origins are different and seemingly random...
is there any way to sync the two different timers?
or is there anyway to get access to the same timer that the touch input uses to generate that timestamp property? otherwise its next to useless.
Had some trouble with this myself. There isn't a lot of good documentation, so I went with experimentation. Here's what I was able to determine:
mach_absolute_time depends on the processor of the device. It returns ticks since the device was last rebooted (otherwise known as uptime). In order to get it in a human readable form, you have to modify it by the result from mach_timebase_info (a ratio), which will return billionth of seconds (or nanoseconds). To make this more usable I use a function like the one below:
#include <mach/mach_time.h>
int getUptimeInMilliseconds()
{
static const int64_t kOneMillion = 1000 * 1000;
static mach_timebase_info_data_t s_timebase_info;
if (s_timebase_info.denom == 0) {
(void) mach_timebase_info(&s_timebase_info);
}
// mach_absolute_time() returns billionth of seconds,
// so divide by one million to get milliseconds
return (int)((mach_absolute_time() * s_timebase_info.numer) / (kOneMillion * s_timebase_info.denom));
}
Get the initial difference between two i.e
what is returned by mach_absolute_time() initally when your application starts and also get the event.timestamp initially at the same time...
store the difference... it would remain same through out the time your application runs.. so you can use this time difference to convert one to another...
How about CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent?
