New Watchman Plugin

[rgleason]

Håkan I got this plugin running in VirtualBox - Unbuntu 12.04LTS - Opencpn Linux.
Its a lot of work to run a plugin, but it does work that way. Also having a Linux OpenCPN alternative may have some advantages for testing plugins etc.

[seandepagnier]

How does this one work in windows? This plugin should basically work with enough minor differences I can fix quickly.

Sean...
The problems are minor - just unexported ll_gc_ll. But I don't want to fix it just by exporting it in the core as we want to have all the stuff the plugins can use defined in ocpn_plugin.h and pluginmanager.cpp - same applies to gshhsCrossesLand. As I said, it's not a big deal, but I would like to have it sorted out before the first 3.3 beta is out.

Currently it only supports coastline detection.. so to help prevent running up on a beach. The plan is to eventually implement an advanced anchor watch, areas of avoidance, areas to stay inside, and possibly ais and radar stuff. I realize these are already implemented elsewhere, but I plan a lot more options for signaling the alarms, and I think the current anchor watch could improve.

Ideas?

Currently it barely is functional, not really tested. The alarm sound doesn't play (I know will fix soon) but it should be able to detect landfall time, and run an external program on the event.

The old CMAPECS program had a look-ahead alarm which went off when you were within 10 minutes of going below a specified depth at your current course and speed. It needed to be turned on and off, because it was always going off in the harbors.

[seandepagnier]

I am working on this, but requires an update to the core

[Gilletarom]

Hello,

I placed a french translation for this plugin. It is here :

[rgleason]

The Watchman now compiles in Ubuntu
git clone git://github.com/seandepagnier/watchman_pi.git

[rgleason]

Watchman has some problems compiling in Windows. Pavel, can you help us out? I think it is a merge that is needed.

See post in Weather_routing thread with Output from MSVC rebuild after Git
Some of it applies to Watchman.

No watchman DLL created.

Current watchman.dll can be found at this post.

Rick, your great and serve us so well. Thanks. The Watchman _pi.dll loads and unloads fine using beta 3.3.424 and Win32 but....
The dead man alarm is not ever counting to more 01 seconds even if my hands are of the computer. And, what's may be more fundamental, if a logic for "action" to watch are mouse movements this will never work. At least my boat is often rolling and twisting and the mouse on the navigation table is therefore not still. So this will be a self running machine and the dead man can sleep forever. I think we need a push button to use for action detection when the dead man watch is active.
Håkan

[seandepagnier]

Good idea, better control of the watchman would be good. Also the counting problem is fixed now.

[Hakan]

Very nice Sean. I'm to exit this place for now but I'll see if I can manage to give it a try when in next harbour with a net. Or if Rick or anyone can make a new .dll meanwhile.
Thanks/Håkan

Current version of Watchman seems to cause memory fault error in MSVC Debug so that Opencpn does not run but freezes with the mem error. Pavel traced it to Watchman trying to open a sound file that is not there.

The release version of the plugin does run in Opencpn 3.3.424 and the path showing for the sound file is C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\sounds and pointing at 1bells.wav (I do not know if I set this or not).

The release version opens fine and seems to run, so I attach it here.
