New huge demo online! (Time Terminal)
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know our in-house Tibbo BASIC wizards have just posted a really big demo project, implementing a full Time and Attendance terminal. Some cool features on the demo: HTTP access, works with EM1000-TEV, full Access Log implementation.
The project is really big. The code is well commented. I think it's a really cool addition to our tools, because you can either use it as an educational tool (to see how objects are used and learn some coding techniques) OR you can just take it and use it as a basis for your own commercial product!
That's right -- you can use this code freely (and any code our guys post on the Tibbo website) for your own commercial products, without releasing it back as open source. Just take it, customize it, and make something cool.
The project does have some kinks still (does not work under Firefox! We're working on that one..) but it is a very useful resource.
Have fun with it, and tell me what you think!

Inappropriate?The demo may be great, but I think the time would have been better spent updating the documents so that people could actually use some of these new objects like the LCD, KP, FD etc etc. Every time I ask when the docs will be released I get told it will be in a few days... that was months ago!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?The best complete application demo, in my view, would be a complete emulator of the non-Taiko firmware (for the EM202, for example). One that can be setup via the DS Manager just like the regular firmware. (If this was done, there would be no need for separate firmware for normal/Taiko use. All units would come preloaded with Taiko and that default application.)
Then, each of us can add the features we want that Tibbo won't add for us (even after repeated nagging).
For example, I want XON/XOFF control in the data steam (since many existing hardware didn't have provision for hardware flow control), but I'm not willing to become a Taiko expert just to add that little functionality to the original firmware's otherwise good behavior!
As another example, I would like to add the ability to retrieve time from a time server and set my access control's clock automatically, during times of inactivity or at fixed intervals.
Now, you've been given some more ideas to work on. -
Inappropriate?Edward - I see what you're saying, and how it can be frustrating. It's not because we've got our priorities backwards -- it's because it's different parts of the company doing these things. We know this is a problem, and we're working to find a better solution so that it doesn't keep happening (i.e, firmware is released and docs lag).
Tony - we may not have this exact thing, but we've got something really pretty close with the AggreGate Agent implementation. Did you play with it? Try it at http://aggregate.tibbo.com/agg-downlo....
Just get the the Agent itself, you don't need the whole AggreGate solution. Check out the code, see if it's a good starting point for what you need.
Also, I don't know if you tried this new demo I wrote about above, but it actually works with our standard DS Manager. It's got all the Tibbo BASIC code you need for making your device visible to DS Manager and exposing settings. -
Inappropriate?Dear Ezuk,
When start, result = fd.format(fd.availableflashspace -50, 16) inside function event_fd_init giving me an error PL_FD_STATUS_INV_PARAM.
Please advise me how to solve it.
Thank you very much.
I’m don't know why!
-
Inappropriate?That error message means that there isn't enough space for the requested amount to be formated. Try to decrease the value of (fd.availableflashspace -50) and see if that will work.
