V1 Virtual Display (Valentine One)

[MattJackson86]

OK. Let me see what I can do about recording the valentine 1 sounds for future use.

[_Dejan_]

I have plan this weekend(Starting today) add 4 different audio warning's so one for each mode. All strength will have same sound. Or you think that is better idea to have same sound for all modes and different sound for different strength(I think this is better idea)???

Or both combinations? diferent sound 's for diferent modes and strength?
auto popup will be activated after reach strength setup in settings and close when go bellow this value(but be active min 10sec - configurable direct in xml)...

Matt I have one request for emulator. Can you add one edit box into it(allowed enter only numbers) which will be for repeat parameter(By default 1 like now work). If you write in this edit box for example 5 then emulator will not send:
08111111111111000
08111111111111001
08111111111111010
08111111111111011

but will repeat data 5 times:
08111111111111000
08111111111111000
08111111111111000
08111111111111000
08111111111111000
08111111111111001
08111111111111001
08111111111111001
08111111111111001
08111111111111001
08111111111111010
08111111111111010
08111111111111010
08111111111111010
08111111111111010
08111111111111011
08111111111111011
08111111111111011
08111111111111011
08111111111111011

I hope you understand what I think. I would like have option that I can get same data few times to easyer simulate drive(that not each data which I get is different)...

Dejan,

The V1 has 4 different tones for each different band of radar......... as strength increases then the delay between beeps gets less and less.

ie on signal strength one you get beep.........beep.........beep
strength 2, beep.....beep.....beep.....beep..
strength 3, beep...beep...beep...beep
strength 4, beep..beep..beep

etc etc etc.

The different tones alert the user to which band the radar is sensing and then they look at the display to see number of sources and direction, but I think that's less important than sound.

I think at first the sound I've sent you will do for all bands and eventually we will record the different sounds for the different bands and we can change out the audio files then.

The one I recorded was Ka band which is the most common I believe. I can probably record the K band as well, laser might be a bit more difficult and X band, but as mentioned over time I'm sure we'll get the audio.

So the actual V1's have the same sounds for strength min-max, but just play faster to signify strength.

Hope that makes sense.

[_Dejan_]

Ok I understand now.
I will do like this:
1.) 4 different sound files with names:
Ka_sound.wav
K_sound.wav
Laser_sound.wav
X_sound.wav

Is lenght of beep(not delay) for all strenght same? If is this will be very easy I change only delay beetwen beep's and source file on band change. For example we record each band which lenght have 1000ms.
Then we set delay's for diferent strength for example:
Strength 1: 5000ms
Strength 2: 3000ms
Strength 3: 2000ms
Strength 4: 1500ms
Strength 5: 1000ms
Strength 6: 500ms
Strength 7: 200ms
Strength 8: 0ms

For start I will today make this 4 files with frequency generator with different frequency and save it to file. Then I will start coding function for popup and sound notification(att sound and start beeping)...
I hope that tomorrow I will have new version for you If Matt can modify emulator today this will be great and will help me a lot to test plugin myself...

Yes that is correct....... just the delay needs to be different so it should be easy to code.....

I suppose the biggest issue will be making sure that the sounds are played at a certain level, as if the user has the sound on their PC down very low they would still want to hear the radar alerts so they could hear them....... maybe turning volume up somehow when playing alerts ? Will also need to fade or pause music for a certain time also, but I think for now as long as it just plays the alerts it doesn't matter about stopping music or volume, that can come much later.

As long as we can get a basic working version out now and people can use it and then ideas for improvements will come from there.

Just for info. Auto pop up is implemented. You can enable/disable it and ster strength on which you would like show/hide plugin.
Also Im record 1s long WAV files (different frequency)...

P.S. I think I have already done Audio notifications but Im not shure if is ok. I need modified emulator to test it, because emulator go trough mode with strenght very quick(1-2 second) and Im not shure if audi function work ok...

[MattJackson86]

Modifying the emulator now. Be back soon with the latest code for you.

It would be awesome to see this be different for each frequency band. Thus for X band I don't want any notification, K band I want audio if strength > 0 and visual if strength > 4, Ka I want audio and visual when strength > 0, etc. This would add a lot of functionality to the Valentine1.

Dejan, how customizable will the notifications be in this first version? Are there plans to make it like described above?

First version I think will have one configurable strenght only for popup which will be for all bands. Audio will not have strenght configuration. If CF3.1 will not release soon then maybe I will add this features in first version too...

Thanks Dejan. Hopefully the new emulator is working well for you.
