Hi, I'm sending commands to a device using ogscript.sendUDPAsBytes. The device responds via UDP to the port that is specified as the source port in the initial command. Unfortunately Dashboard (running in Windows) appears to send a random source port in the UDP so I can't setup a listener to receive ...

I think there is one last optional parameter to ogscript.asyncHTTP, if set to true then reply to the request is passed to the callback function. It defaults to false. All working well now for me! #DashBoard

Ah, I have answered my own question! Beta version 8.2 does send a text/xml content-type. I was previously testing using release version 8.1.2 which doesn't. As ever, thanks for the help! #DashBoard

Hi James, I've tried making my data segment start with I've pasted the code that is attached to a button, below, can you see where I'm going wrong? For testing the 'url' parameter contains 'http://127.0.0.1:80', my testing server runs locally and listens on port 80 var data = 'hey there'; ...

Hi, two questions, possibly vaguely related... Is there a way to prevent multiple instance of Dashboard from running. I find I get Java errors related to sockets in use if a second instance of my Dashboard is opened - I'd like to catch these error gracefully, or prevent two instances of ...

Thanks James I'll stop looking for a way, I can use an array with all the IDs in. The panel controls a comms matrix and the buttons are lit individually by strings that comes back from the matrix. The first three characters of the button ID determine the on (and off) colour of the button ...

Hi, I have a large number of buttons on a Dashboard panel. I'd like to loop through them all and set their colours dependent on the initial characters of their ID. I'd prefer to not have to list each button individually in the code, any idea how I can read the contents of the panel so I can do ...

I've found that by ticking the 'Execute Immediately' box in the API Attributes, if I have a syntax error I get a red warning message at the top of the Dashboard and a debug message that can help track the problem down. Unticking the box kills the messages. #DashBoard

Hi, I'm changing the background colour of pushbuttons using the setStyle bdr# command to show a lit and unlit state. The shading on the pushbutton is making the lit state dim, is there any way to remove the shading? I have already set the style / background to 'flat' in the button edit ...

Hi, I'm trying to implement a Push To Talk button in Dashboard to control a talkback system. The ogscript task on a pushbutton gets fired when the button is released, is there any way to fire a task as a button is pushed too?

Shane, I've had a play with the rosstalk.sendmessage command. I can see that this is difficult if you use the Dashboard tool that builds rosstalk commands for you. If you dive in and edit the source on the button to this it should work: ogscript.debug ('My current layer number is: ' + layerNum); ...
