TPMS (tire monitoring system) plugin

[wolfgang928]

New TPMS (tire monitoring system) ready for use

Based on the great work of Roberto Montanari's USB receiving device and the
great work of Dejan and MrBean we now are able to present this new CENTRAFUSE plugin.

This TPMS Plug-In is able to show pressure and temperature failures of each car tire. It is possible to configure up to five tires to be controlled. You can use a setup routine to configure minimum and maximum pressure limits and maximum temperature limits for each tire including the spare wheel inside the carpet.

This plugin is based on a hardware development, which is documented at RRTMS - RoadRunner tire monitoring system extension plugin - MP3Car.com

_Dejan_ from this forum has made wonderfull electronical boards for me to include this piece of TPMS hardware.

Download TPMS 2.1.8.0 for Centrafuse 2.x

Current version: 2.1.8.0

Version: 2.1.8.0
============
- new tire to sensor assignment dialog to enable the switching of learned sensors
  around the car. This dialog you access via button 4 of setup page 1.
  The skins AURA, ONYX DAY and ONYX NIGHT are supported.
  
- Suspend / Resume mode during hibernation now supported with event handling
  to restart the searching data process
  
- new feature to modify the tire mounting position inside config.xml file

- new skin layout to support 4 and 5 tire configuration
- new config.xml parameters
	<ALERTREPEATTIME> time in milliseconds between voice output messages
	<USE5TIRES> boolean, to define a five tire configuration
- PSI values now rounded, no decimal values anymore
- new plugin to plugin data exchange option integrated 
- CF_pluginData(string command, string param)
   if param has a "." inside you can use "1.Bar" as "return value of tire 1 and   display value in bar.
	"GETPRESSURE" 		= returns the current pressure of the <param> tire
	
	"GETTEMPERATURE" 	= returns the current temperature of ...

Version: 2.0.0.8
============
- adapted to new CF2.x cfplugin.dll.
- modified sound output handling
- setup routine rewritten to use the private configuration files with CF 2.x also
- build in new log file function [USEDEBUG] as used in other plugins
- no further support of CF 1.x versions, no error correction for old system
 
Version: 0.5.0.4
==============
UPDATES
- documentation updated

NEW FEATURES
- Added language specific string <MSG_NO_TIRE_SELECTED>, please adapt to your locale language, default is english
- plugin to plugin data exchange integrated - CF_pluginData(string command, string param)
  where <param> must be a tire number (string) 
  where <command> is one of the following commands:
	"GETPRESSURE" 		= returns the current pressure of the <param> tire
	"GETTEMPERATURE" 	= returns the current temperature of ...
	"GETBATTERY"		= ....                battery level
	"GETREASON"		= ...		      error reason
	"ISALERT"		= ..      string converted bool value

  GETPRESSURE and GETTEMPERATURE returns only the byte values out of the USB receiver, not the 
  converted value string (returns 300 instead of 300 KPa or 3.0 Bar..)


BUG FIXES
- learning mode not working - FIXED
- small information screens (this.CF_systemCommand(CF_Actions.SHOWINFO, "...") not visible) - FIXED
- after setup changes the new values are not used - FIXED
- a lot off small bugs - FIXED
- Setup programm crashes if the installation path is longer than 63 letters - FIXED

Hey Guys,
Just a word of thanx to Wolfgang for developing this plugin, I probably drove him nuts with all the feedback on the alpha-versions

But, anyway, here's 2x screenies, one of Aura, the other Onyx Day skin, to show what it looks like on my system.

@ Wolfgang - you are free to use these in your documentation as requested earlier, just thought I'd post them up here too.

Kind regards,
MrBean.

[wolfgang928]

Have a look at the first post of this thread.

Thanks again to Dejan and MrBean and of course to the hardware developing guru Roberto.

[alpha_tc]

in first post is only describe software tools...but which tire-sensors i need which are compatible with this prog?


but THIS IS A GREAT PLUGIN!!!

[MrBean]

@ Alpha TC:here is the link at Mp3Car to see what is needed to make this work.

Enjoy.

Wolfgang,

This is really a great plugin! I was waiting for it before ordering the TPMS kit, now I can buy it!!!

I have shortly tested the plugin and I would like to contribute to it by providing the italian localization of the plugin text messages, if you agree.
I've seen the xml files containing the program messages in the Languages folder and I was wondering if it would be enough to translate those lines: I can provide the new italian.xml file to you to include in a next release of the plugin.

I would also suggest you to let the plugin choose the english messages if you don't find the correct language file (now the plugin presents german text).

Thanks again.

Hello deltabi,

thank you for your offer to write an italien language file. I will place it into the next version

I will have a look inside because of the standard language, it should be english in case of not finding a language file, but i have seen, it is not.

I have just fixed it and will publish an update dll.
