Posted at 2023-02-06 by HughB I installed one of the textinput modules but the UI is what I called 'the stong silent type'. Tells you nothing. A small dot appears on the bottom of the screen and then goes away again. Attachments: Posted at 2023-02-06 by HughB I give up. Without some instructions and screenshots on how this is mean't to work I'm screwed. I've got an my MI Thermometer flashed to the custom firmware Real shame as this looked a really interesting app. Posted at 2023-02-09 by @gfwilliams The README does say:
Do you definitely have the It seems like the textinput is only needed if you choose Posted at 2023-02-09 by @gfwilliams Mo Abrahams is the author - but I'm not sure if I've seen them on the forum? I'll also just add the textinput dependency now Posted at 2023-02-11 by HughB Definitel got the Posted at 2023-02-11 by HughB
I checked. No email address in Github so non-contactable. I'm almost wondering if that should be a check-in test - ie if you cant be contacted about your checkin then maybe you should just not bother offering the code. Its a tricky one as you dont want to discourage contributions. I was hoping I could have used this app to develop a clock_info for an external MI temperature sensor. Posted at 2023-02-11 by HughB ooh. I got something now. Maybe it would not connect as the Bluetooth connection from the chromebook was still connected after I flashed the firmware. Interesting thing is that the temperature at first was almost 2 degrees out. But it does appear to have settled now. These devices tend to warm up when in your hands. IE the temp will go up as they detect the heat in your hands. Attachments: Posted at 2023-02-13 by dapgo I was having the same screen on a banglejs1, but checking from IDE the issue was different : After setting a different font (vector), I am able to display info in the screen. On the other hand, the setting alias (textinput) doesn't seem correct or usable on a bangle.js1. Is textinput available for BJS1 too? Posted at 2023-02-20 by @gfwilliams
It looks like it is (and it should get installed automatically) but the only app that does it is The Posted at 2023-02-20 by dapgo so, i think textinput works well in bangle.js1 but i just did't know how to use it. Regarding the incompatible font, and just wishing.... :D Maybe this type of "common" incompatibilities among devices can be registered/documented, so it would ease to create an script to automate the detection of incompatibilities, potential incompatibilities, potential solutions,... Then users that develop for its/an specific device and don't use emulators can receive feedback from the script and maybe think about changing the code. Also it can help to maintenance of the compatibility list (specially useful for new users) so avoid having apps incorrectly marked as compatible; as this one was. Posted at 2023-02-22 by @gfwilliams
Well, we do have Longer term I do have some plans to fix the font issues with a single font that can be scaled up, and in that case it could go on Bangle.js 1 as well and everyone could just switch to that Posted at 2023-02-23 by HughB
I think we need to start enforcing decent README files or asking for new Apps to be reviewed and tested. Maybe we should ask new apps to be announced on the forum using the developers own app launcher so they can be reviewed. The no 1 issue for me would be lack of a screenshot, with a good README file following close 2nd. Could that be made into a rule for a new app ? Posted at 2023-02-24 by @gfwilliams
Honestly it seems a struggle sometimes even to get contributions that aren't completely broken, let alone having a README or screenshot :( I think it's a balance - we need to be open to new contributors and not make things too hard for them, and I think demanding a review/README/etc is a step too far. |

Anyone know if the author of the mitherm app is on this forum ?
I getting a blank screen. When I connect through the IDE I can see.
