Animation on Wise Clock 3/4
Mr Ruud did it again :) He took this video showing a few more features he added.
1. ANIMATIONS
1. ANIMATIONS
It is now possible to create your own animations which are stored on the SD card.
The APPS menu entry ANIM allows for continously showing one or all animations files.
Animation files are named: anim0.wc3 - anim9.wc3.
There are also 4 special animation files named: time00.wc3, time15.wc3, time30.wc3 and time45.wc3.
If ANIM+ is selected in the SETUP menu and the BIG mode is active then every quarter the correponding animation is shown once with a random speed.
Besides the four time*.wc3 animation file, there are currently 4 sample animations: anim1.wc3 - anim4.wc3.
You may create your own animations (there is NO programming involved) by creating individual screens in Excel and then use a small conversion program to create the *.wc3 file.
As the animations are stored on the SD card you can make them as big as you like.
2. LOGGING
If the LOG+ menu is selected in the SETUP menu then the following items will be logged in the wc3log.csv file:
- every hour the current temperature is logged both in Celsius and Fahrenheit (32.5 degrees is stored as 325)
- all entries created in the time clock (TCLOK) app are now stored in the log file
The wc3log.csv file is an ASCII Comma Separated Values file, which can be opened in Excel for further analysis (or for creating graphs etc).
The average log record is about 25 bytes long. The temperature logging will take 24 x 25 bytes = 600 per day. (So the 2 Megabyte log file will be full after about 9 years.)
A warning message ("log= @ End") will be shown when the log file is almost full, an error message ("log= FULL!") will appear if no more records can be written to the log file.
The SETUP menu entry CLRLG allows for clearing the complete log file, it will take about 10 minutes to clear a 2 megabyte log file.
Mike integrated all of the above changes with a previous version that works with FAT32. This code is still under testing and it will become available soon.
