Also added the fields "DateTime" which just shows the raw timestamp that portapack assigned the last packet received, in the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS ... And "Frame" which shows the packet # (or frame) for correlating with other software / verify that there are new packets being received.
Also moved a string function for returning rounded-up decimals, originally inside the whipcalc tool app, into the string_format functions library, because I used that function on TEMP and HUMIDITY values inisde the radiosonde app.
Finally, the whole UI has its widgets moved a bit, giving space for these new parameters.
This patch addresses the issue detected in: https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/issues/159
This patch will revert the behavior of the function to_string_short_freq
into using spaces on the left of the integer part of the frequency (as it did originally).
When upgrading the scanner app, I did change the behavior of this function eliminating those spaces, so I could gain some characters-worth of space inside the scanner, but I failed to detect that it introduced some lack of padding on the rx->audio app.
Now, it is back as before, and I also did update the scanner so it can cope with the "extra spaces" this function now adds (again).
New ui_scanner, inspired on AlainD's (alain00091) PR: https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/pull/80
It includes the following:
1) A big frequency numbers display.
2) A Manual scan section (you can input a frequency range (START / END), choose a STEP value from an available of standard frequency intervals, and press SCAN button.
3) An AM / WFM / NFM scan mode selector, changing "on the fly".
4) A PAUSE / RESUME button, which will make the scanner to stop upon you listening something of interest
5) AUDIO APP button, a quick shortcut into the analog audio visualizing / recording app, with the mode, frequency, amp, LNA, VGA settings already in tune with the scanner.
6) Two enums are added to freqman.hpp, reserved for compatibility with AlainD's proposed freqman's app and / or further enhancement. More on this topic:
ORIGINAL scanner just used one frequency step, when creating scanning frequency ranges, which was unacceptable. AlainD enhanced freqman in order to pass different steppings along with ranges. This seems an excellent idea, and I preserved that aspect on my current implementation of thisscanner, while adding those enums into the freqman just to keep the door open for AlainD's freqman in the future.
7) I did eliminate the extra blank spaces added by function to_string_short_freq() which created unnecessary spacing in every app where there is need for a SHORT string, from a frequency number. (SHORT!, no extra spaces!!)
8) I also maintained AlainD idea of capping the number of frequencies which are dynamically created for each range and stored inside a memory based db. While AlainD capped the number into 400 frequencies, I was able to up that value a bit more, into 500.
Cheers!
As shown in https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/issues/88 ...
Tiny bug but probably responsible for badly forming datetime in several apps, as it is used in ACARS, POCSAG and ADSB_TX (and of course AIS RX)
AFSK RX always logs to file
Removed frequency and bw settings from modem setup view
Updated binary
Bugfix: Binary display shifted one bit
Bugfix: Frequency manager views freezing if SD card not present
Bugfix: Menuview blinking arrow not showing up at the right position
Bugfix: Freeze if console written to while it's hidden
Broken: LCR TX, needs UI update
