Anyone want to pick up this plug-in (NetStumbler POI generator)?

APOI Plugin: Netstumbler container + POI generator - Page 2 - MP3Car.com

Seems like it would be a good plug-in to have!

I'll take a look as soon as i get my feet wet with CF plugin architecture. A plugin for the fusion brain is first on my list but this seems relatively easy.

A plug-in for the FB!?

Sweet!

I'll be looking forward to that one!

I'll take a look at it this weekend. If it is just an update to get it working with 2.0 then it shouldn't be a lot of work. I might also be able to improve upon it.

Actually, updating it to 2.0 was really easy. I suppose now I just need to test it out. I'm not sure the evaluation version of CF allows for navigation. Maybe I can get one of our local members to try it out.

Netstumbler doesn't work with my new Wi-Fi adapter

Any of you tried Vistumbler? It might actually only be for Vista, but it uses Google maps to overlay Wi-Fi hotspots it picks up in conjunction with your GPS...
It outputs to different txt formats, but I dunno if any of the GPS software can use it directly...

Bump...
What's going on with this?
I get Netstumbler working with the plugin, but it (or the plugin) isn't saving the text files automatically...
It's the only prob I have with it...

FYI: Hey, i wanted to let you all know that there are some hidden commands for the CF WiFi plugin I added in when i originally wrote it.

You can query CF to get the current SSID, list of available networks, force search/refresh of network list. And of course, connect/disconnect to a new SSID, and enable/disable the adapter.

Accepted Commands:
eg CF_pluginCommand(string command, string param1, string param2)

CONNECT = CF_pluginCommand("CONNECT", <SSID_TO_CONNECT>", "");
DISCONNECT = CF_pluginCommand("DISCONNECT");
ENABLE ADAPTER = CF_pluginCommand("ENABLE"); // NOT AVAILABLE YET
DISABLE ADAPTER = CF_pluginCommand("DISABLE"); // NOT AVAILABLE YET

Accepted Data Commands:
eg CF_pluginData(string command, string param1)

AUTOCONNECT = CF_pluginData("AUTOCONNECT", "") returns string "true" or "false"
WIRELESSSTATUS= CF_pluginData("WIRELESSSTATUS", "") returns string "true" or "false" (for enabled or disabled)
NETWORKLIST = CF_pluginData("NETWORKLIST", <"SEARCH" or "REFRESH">) returns comma-separated list of available networks
CURRENTSSID = CF_pluginData("CURRENTSSID", "") returns string of current SSID

I added all of these when i saw the above APOI Netstumbler plugin last winter. If you can extract that NetStumbler data and use it in a plugin, you can make a nice NetStumbler plugin that works hand in hand with the CF WiFi native plugin.

Hope someone finds these useful.
