Modifying web-interface (beta 0.5)

[KLelong]

Hi, For my installation I need to modify the settings : pidstart should be greater than 3.5. I modified max in "s_pidstart" in setting_resources.js, recompiled and uploaded, but the new value does not get included. What am I doing wrong ? TIA

reload? maybe. By the way. The limit is also in C++ code if you want to use LCD/buttons to change the value.

Thanks, but reload does not help, tried several times. I modified the code in two places : that s_pidstart and in BrewManiac.cpp in the heatLoadParameters function. I think there are still other places. I'll have to find some real buttons and see what happens then. At the moment I'm doing all via the web-interface.

I realised a jumper-wire will do as button. Tried and the same problem is there. Searching further, I stumbled on the file 5.WebInterface.md stating that html/javascript files will be uploaded. Was that the "reload" you mentioned ? If so, how do I do that ? Using the filemanager ? TIA

"Reload" the page. Sometimes, you might need to click the reload button to force the browser to really reload the page.

Hi, Actually, my question was : how to integrate the modified html-source-code in the firmware. I.e. I modified the html-source-code, but then it needs to be transferred to data_edit_html_gz.h (I think). How do I do that ? Is there a platformio-tool ? Or what should I use ? TIA

grunt tool to "build", and "gene.sh" in the source to convert to C header file.

[KLelong]

For others : I went to the html-directory. I had to install npm, then

sudo npm install -g grunt 
npm install 
npm install --dev coffeescript 
grunt build

But then ? You said gene.sh in the source directory, but I can't find it anywhere. P.S. I only recreated my steps afterwards, so maybe I missed something.

[vitotai]

it's a simple shell script. I forgot to add to git.

`#!/bin/sh

OUTDIR="cheader" DISTDIR="dist"

if [ ! -d $OUTDIR ]; then echo "$OUTDIR not found!" mkdir "$OUTDIR" fi rm $OUTDIR/*.h

htmlfiles=(bm.htm.gz)

variables=(data_bm_htm_gz)

outfiles=(bm_htm)

languages=(english spanish portuguese-br russian italiano)

gen_C_file() { lang=$1 for ((index=0; index<${#htmlfiles[@]}; index++)); do srcdir="dist/$lang"

echo "[$index]: ${htmlfiles[$index]}"

input="$srcdir/${htmlfiles[$index]}" output="$OUTDIR/${lang}_${outfiles[$index]}.h" variable=${variables[$index]}

echo "input: $input output file: $output with variables $variable "

xxd -i "$input" > $output echo "processing $output" sed -i "s/unsigned char .+[]/const unsigned char $variable[] PROGMEM/" $output done }

for lang in "${languages[@]}" do gen_C_file $lang done`

I was wondering how you converted the embedded web pages. Clever...

Hi Vito,

I tried building the C header without success. I can not get this script to work. I get this error: $ ./gene.sh rm: cannot remove 'cheader/*.h': No such file or directory ./gene.sh: 18: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Please advise.
