<generic> and sliders
First off, let me say I think the work done by both of you is excellent. I dusted off the Joggler especially!
Has anyone tried using the <generic> with sliders or are they BSC only (as the docs say)?
Specifically I'm trying to get the temperature out of xAPWeather like so:
and the message isCode:<button name="slider-outside1"> <label> <text>EGVP</text> </label> <gridX>2</gridX> <gridY>3</gridY> <xAP> <schema>generic</schema> <source>mi4.weather.egvp</source> <uid>FF400100</uid> <generic> <Class>Weather.Report</Class> <body>Weather.Report</body> <parameter>TempC</parameter> </generic> </xAP> <mode>slider</mode> <slider> <type>embedded</type> <min>-20</min> <max>50</max> <design>sleek</design> <rotation>horizontal</rotation> </slider> </button>
LehaneCode:xap-header { v=12 hop=1 uid=FF400100 class=Weather.Report source=mi4.weather.egvp } Weather.Report { UTC=15:50 Date=20111216 WindM=12.7 WindK=20.4 WindDirC=W WindDirD=280 TempC=4.0

OK,
Thanks Kevin, it was worth a shot.
Back to more Nanode coding...

Just thinking... there might be a way...
IIRC beta 5 sliders can link to BSC text devices .. and the Joggler itself can convert an incoming generic , like your weather schema Temp value to an outgoing BSC (via a text box) so that will give you your 'Temp' value as a BSC text device, updating in realtime based on the content from the weather schema message.
If , and I'm not sure on this, iServer will return the textbox's outgoing BSC message back to the Joggler it originated from then you could link this to a slider :-) . Of course if you have two Jogglers it should definitely be OK.
Let me know if this works.

PS Nanodes with xAP.. anything of general interest to us all ? I have a couple of here in my round tuit box.
I'll take a look at the reformatting and see if it works.
I'm nearly done on a one-wire/TOM10 replacement - so far works fine, left on the to-do list is:
Change 'lazy code' to respond to BSC.Query properly (address match) currently sends info for all
Finish web config interface to map node number against a friendly name and also do instance name/UID.
Finish the xAP 1.3 conditional compile
Test against > 12 sensors (in theory up to 64 but I need to look at conversion times vs. update rates).
It uses a bus/star for the one-wire devices and a FRAM/RAM for the storage (I'm using a FRAM so it needs a wire jumper to +5V) though there is a conditional compile for no external and only 8 devices and fixed config.
