Garmin Tester

[+Jaz666]

Hello.

 

I've just had a Wherigo Hybrid cache published which is a 12 hour timed challenge.

I developed the cartridge with Urwigo using the Date/Time expressions to set start times etc.

 

The whole thing works fine on Android and iOS, but I need to test it on a Garmin unit.

 

I've put a test play anywhere cart online which just carries the part I want to test http://www.Wherigo.com/cartridge/details.aspx?CGUID=b69e7d8b-8561-4fea-9e5e-54f8de0659fb

 

So far I've had a local cacher test it who says it doesn't work.

 

Outline of the test cart....

- Clocking in Machine is in the players inventory, examining it asks if you wish to start.

- Clicking yes should hide the Clocking in Machine, move the Clock Card into the inventory.

- Examining the Clock Card should show a few basic time calculations.

 

Can anyone help out?

Oregon 450 and fails on step 2. Pressing OK (it's OK and not YES) does not remove the Clocking object and does not give me Clock Card.

Hmm, you should see Yes / No buttons, they appear on other devices; do Garmin handle buttons differently?

This is a screen grab of what should happen.

[+Jaz666]

OK, The "Are you sure you wish to start" section was a message with two buttons, with the action linked to the buttons.

I'm guessing Garmins weren't recognising this as a user input, hence only showing the OK button to close the window.

 

I've modified the Timer Test cart to v1.1, changing the message to an Input, with a bit of debug code to show what button you clicked on.

 

Can someone test this one for me?

[+dfx]

Certainly! Unfortunately nothing has changed. I've verified that it's indeed the 1.1 version I got.

Thanks for the screenshots.

By the looks of it the onClick function of the clock isn't being called on the Garmin.

 

I shall have to investigate further tonight.

Perhaps your tester could post the .gwl file here and you can see exactly wheat it is doing.

Scratch that idea. Do you have logging turned on? Here is all I got:

There seems to be an issue with the website as trying to edit the cartridge listing to turn on logging throws up an error, it's the same for any edit function, hence why my carts aren't actively listed.

[+Tequila]

You enable logging in URWIGO.

[+Jaz666]

Thanks, it's now enabled in v1.11

[+Tequila]

Same result. Can you post the entire file here. Here is what my log shows:

The urwigo project file is here

 

The daft thing is, this isn't the bit I needed to test, it was the bit after this dialog box

EDIT:

I've only just spotted the tooltip in Urwigo for 'on Click'

"Occurs when the player clicks on the item in the player.

It does not occur on every device, it is not recommended to use"

 

I'm getting the feeling I should be using Commands instead?

It's a documented restriction of the Garmin players that onClick doesn't work for items and characters. Earwigo pops up an explicit warning to this effect ("Note: this functionality does not currently work on Garmin GPS devices.") if you try to create an onClick event handler.

Thanks Nick.

 

What is the best solution which will trigger an action when the user interacts with an object in a zone/inventory?

I would implement the interaction as a custom command, but I'm not a great expert on cartridge building techniques, so probably someone else has a better idea.

[+Jaz666]

Picking up on this again, I think I've got my head around Custom Commands, and have updated the TimerTest Cart.

If someone could help again I'd appreciate it.

[+fingers crossed]

I didn't have a chance to try out your latest cartridge, but I threw together a sample timer one that I've used on my Oregon before...

 

Timer Start

 

It still asks you if you want to start the timer during the 'On Start' event. It does it via Inputs, and the Input has a 'Choice' value of Yes/No.

 

That might get you going, it works well on the Oregons.

 

The only caveat, if your text selection is too big, I'd suggest the text up top have your selection and a '1' or '2' on the bottom. Yes/No is fine.

 

Hope that helps too.
