Re: Comming soon: 2CAN Simple Analyzing Monitor
Well if its open source then here I go:
I pull data from ip/status.xml which contains xml with all of the individual jag data. I found it by stumbling through the index pages html for a couple of minutes.
The main XML container is a response tag
Each jag has the following tags
voltout#
current#
temp#
fault#
voltbus#
descript#
firmware#
Using the xpath library (java.xml.xpath.*) I can then retrieve the appropriate values via a simple path such as getting the voltout for jag number 7 like this
"response/voltout7" While that will work for jag number 7, i put in a loop to read all of the information from all of the jags so in reality its "response/voltout" + loop_counter but that is just logistics ...
To do it without xml and save memory you should think along this line
Open a stream over http to ip/status.xml read the response line for line looking for patterns. (eg <v* can only be 1 of 2 bits of information voltout or voltbus) find the first > character go 1 or 2 characters left to get the jag number then take the data from the right of the > character until you reach a < character
If you think it will help I will release source for 0.5 when I get it done.
BEFORE I FORGET the little problem I ran into was that the 2CAN doesn't log information unless the index page is loaded with POST data. Using the same http stream open ip/index.htm?enables=65535 and data should start rolling.
