Volume Plugin with GPS and OBDII

nintwala · November 29th, 2007, 11:59 PM

Hi,

I have modified the existing volume plugin so now it can use OBDII speed value too. Here is the source and plugin.

You should just need to overwrite the volume.dll file inside the current volume plugin folder.

Also, I just added "ENABLE GPS OR OBDII VOLUME" inside the english.xml file so its makes a little more sense. You can copy that too.

Please test it out and let me know if it works.

UPDATE: Added "USE PRE LEVEL" option in setup

UPDATE: GPS & ODBII is working. Attached are the updated files. Copy the volume folder into the plugins folder and overwrite all the files. I only have "English.xml" right now. Need more language files! Translators: Please post the language files for this plugin.

UPDATE: The volume will now increase or decrease gradually when changing from one speed level to another. MAIN volume dialog box is hidden so it does not show up in middle when change speeds. Language files modified and attached.

UPDATE: Installer created.

UPDATE: New version compatible with 2.0 RC1.

UPDATE: New version compatible with 2.0 Final

New Feature: Works with Phone -- When in phone call you can disable the auto volume level and set the PRE/Wave level

NOTE: If you are using the old plugin please delete the old plugin folder.

UPDATE: CF2 & CF3 versions added

NOTE: If you dont have the NAV version of CF, you can use GPS Engine plugin to get the speed data from your GPS adapter. Thanks to _Dejan_

EVERYONE, PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY

Seems great, I'll try out when I'll finish OBDII cabling...

When this plugin was released I've asked to make some changes:

It's not useful (for me) to have fixed volumes for fixed speed: it could be more interesting if the plugin increases the default CF volume by a % basing on speed:

i.e.: CF volume to 10, speed 10km/h: final volume to 10
CF volume to 10, speed 100km/h: final volume to 12
CF volume to 20, speed 10km/h: final volume to 20
CF volume to 20, speed 10km/h: final volume to 24

or something similar....

Bye,
AL

what a cool idea ! just yesterday i drove through a tunnel and thought that this is something that can be improved since in this case there is no gps. thank you for your adaptions, will try it today.

AL: I am not sure what you mean by this. Right now it is doing a range of speed. So if the speed it 0kph to Speed1 - it will use the volume level in Volume1.

Are you trying to to do the opposite? Like, when speed is 10km/h it will use a range of Volume 1 to Volume 2?... I am a little confused.

Is it possible to use the "pre" channel instead of the "main" volume, this way you get only an extra amplification and its not changing your main volume. you can make an entry in the settings page. "select channel to use"

Hmm... I will have to look into it to see if that can be an option added to the setup. Basically you want it to use the same settings for volume but just do it to the "pre" level instead. right?

Exactly, this is the way it happens in car radios as well I think.

Hmm... just noticed that there is no PRE in the SDK.

There is no "this.CF_setMixerLevel(CF_MixerDevices.PRE,int);"

David: Is this missing or is there some other way to set the PRE value?
