Re: [Placelab-devel] help with xp native spotter.dll

[cs_shw <wa...@gm...>]

Hi, Geng.
I have possessed the same problem, too.
In fact, there are far more than 32 access points in most of the places of
my university.
Sometimes, our group can retrieve around 1x APs data and after few seconds
it crashed with the 
same warning.

I have also searched through this forum, but no suggestions on how to
recompile the spotter.dll
I also hope someone can help:|

Re: [Placelab-devel] WiFi Spotter on Mobile Phones

[Charles P. <pa...@gm...>]

If you take a look at the "native" section of placelab there is native code
that must be installed on whatever platform you are using placelab on in
order to access the wifi hardware (the win native is different then the
linux native).  I suspect that in order to implement placelab on a N95, you
will have to figure out what the native code is to access the wifi hardware.

[Placelab-devel] WiFi Spotter on Mobile Phones

[Fakhri A. <fak...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am willing to develop application that need WiFiSpotter class on mobile
phones i.e N95 using j2me but what i found that WiFiSpotter doesn't work on
mobiles so what i have to do in order to use it on mobile ? or Are there any
APIs that can be used instead in order to discover the WLAN and measure
parameters in j2me ?

[Placelab-devel] Spotter

[Mohyeldin H. <moh...@gm...>]

Hello,

Am I bounded by the spotter types offered by Place Lab, Or can for example
create mySpotter which inherits from let's say synchronous or asynchronous
spotter.

Thanks,

Re: [Placelab-devel] Does Placelab work on Windows Vista?

[Keith G. <kei...@di...>]

Hi Chuong Vo,

I am not sure what may be causing this, but just as a shot in the dark I
would guess that it has something to do with the driver for the WiFi Card
under Vista. We had a similar problem with bluetooth drivers  and hardware
in XP. In our case we needed Dlink hardware and drivers for it to run.

Hope this helps,
Keith.

[Placelab-devel] Does Placelab work on Windows Vista?

Dear all,



Does Placelab work on Windows Vista? I have set up Placelab on my Windows XP
PC and it worked WELL. But when I tried on my laptop running Vista (with the
SAME wireless card, the card worked correctly--i.e., it could connect to the
network), I received message: “org.placelab.spotter.SpotterException: Unable
to find any enabled WiFi network interfaces on this computer.”



Please help me!

	I'll pop my head in again, and mention that over at WiFiMaps.com, we 
have our data online, and is accessible via WFS or WMS.

	I'm happy to help if anyone knows how to hook this up to Placelab. Hm, 
I may even still be on the developer list. Hit me up privately if you're 
interested. Our data is CC licensed.

[Placelab-devel] Wigle.net Query Output Format Change Has Broken MapLoader

[Bob C. <arc...@bo...>]

FYI....

A change made to the wigle.net Query output page during the past few  
months (prior to 09/01/09), has effectively broken MapLoader's ability  
to download AP Beacon data from wigle.net.

A new field, "lasttime", has been inserted between "firsttime" and  
"flags", causing "trilat" and "trilong" to be offset by one from their  
former relative positions in the output.

As a result, MapLoader reads latitude values as longitude, and "Y" or  
"N" as latitude.

MapLoader needs to be updated to account for this.

Re: [Placelab-devel] MapLoaderGUI -- Stopped Working?

[Seamus R. <sea...@di...>]

Hi Bob,

I have never used that part of place lab but I would guess that there  
is a parser somewhere for MapLoaderGUI that needs to be changed. Thats  
the way it is for the parts I have experience for anyway. So you would  
need to go into MapLoaderGUI.java and trace back where the data comes  
in to where it is parsed. Then update the parser code.

Again, only a guess though.

[Placelab-devel] MapLoaderGUI -- Stopped Working?

[Bob C. <arc...@bo...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to use MapLoaderGUI to download beacon data from wigle.net.  
I was able to do this successfully a few months ago, however now I'm  
getting a silent failure -- and the hsqlmap.data file has a file size  
of zero bytes.

Has anyone else experienced this?

An admin at wigle.net has confirmed that they did make some changes to  
the format of their query results page during the past couple of  
months. Since MapLoaderGUI is essentially a "screen scraper", I  
suspect that the format change has resulted in this silent failure.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Placelab-devel] USB WiFi Card

[Keith G. <kei...@di...>]

Hi Zhefeng,

Its been a while since I worked with placelab but as far as I can remember
it is possible to use a USB WiFi card. Some types of DLINK adapters are
supported I think.

Hope this helps,
Keith.

[Placelab-devel] USB WiFi Card

[Zhefeng Li <zh...@ae...>]

Hello PlaceLab,

Do you try to use a USB WiFi card rather than a PCMCIA WiFi card in
a Laptop.

I want to try your software on a Laptop with a USB WiFi card. But I do know
which USB card is in compliance with your software.

Thanks,

Zhefeng

[Placelab-devel] Getting placelabs working on S60 v3 FP1

[Nicholas A. <na...@ya...>]

Is anybody still active here?  I'm trying to update placelab for S60 v3 FP1 (CellID is only available to Java apps on v3 FP2 and later).

Is this legal?

void CSpotterServer::GetGSMData() {
  RTelServer server;
  User::LeaveIfError(server.Connect());
  
  _LIT8(KFormat1,"%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,");
  
#ifdef EKA2
    iTelephony->GetCurrentNetworkInfo(iStatus, iNetworkInfoV1Pckg);
    iTelephony->GetSignalStrength(iStatus, iSigStrengthV1Pckg);
    iActiveSchedulerWait->Start();
    ...


...or do I need to create 2 new values for the enum and then call GetCurrentNetworkInfo() and GetSignalStrength on different invocations of RunL()?

enum TDataState {
        EWaiting,
        ERecvData,
        ESendData,
        EGetNetworkInfo,
        EGetSignalStrength
    };

[<wu...@li...>]

Hi,

There is a simple example of GSMSpotter?

[Placelab-devel] GSMReading

[<wu...@li...>]

Hi,

the method getNormalizedSignalStrength()  of class GSMReading returns an 
int. I can consider it as a measure in db or dbm of signal strength?

[Placelab-devel] Beacon location database schema

[Dongsu H. <don...@gm...>]

Hi,
How does placelab store the wardriving data?
I would suppose there's a table for gps coordinates, signal strength, 
time, etc. And from that you would calculate the location of each 
beacons(APs), and store it in a different table.
Where can I find the algorithm to compute the location of beacons from 
the measurement data?
Can I get the DB schema?
Thank you!

[Placelab-devel] Java Library Path; Placelab Interface change

[Berk B. <ber...@su...>]

Hi everyone,

I am planning on using PlaceLab to develop a proof-of-concept 
application of localization for my undergraduate thesis. Before asking 
my actual question, I want to first tell you about a problem that I 
fixed, hoping that I could get some feedback about the fix.

When I first untarred the PlaceLab SDK, I tried to run the ApViewer 
application. Yet I received a Java Exception called 
UnsatisfiableLinkError with a SWT library. Since the swt.jar file was 
sourced using the CLASSPATH variable, I couldn't figure out what was 
causing this issue. Googling it didn't really help. I then found out 
that I had to add the following line to the java command-line:

-Djava.library.path=$HOME/PlaceLab/placelab-linux/native

It turns out the SWT library file "libswt-gnome-gtk-3062.so" wasn't in 
the Java Path.
I don't know why nobody else had this problem (since there were no other 
posts on it anywhere online). Is this the right fix, and do you know why 
this happened to me? I am running Linux by the way.

Now to my actual question. When I run ApViewer, the GUI displays 
correctly, but the application uses the wrong interface to scan for APs. 
It uses eth0, which is my ethernet adapter, instead of eth1. I couldn't 
find any command-line options that would change this, and looking in the 
code didn't really help either.

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks, and Best Regard,
   Berk

Hi Fergal,

The Nokia N80 is a Series 60 3rd Edition phone and place labs was=20
designed to run on 2nd edition phones. There was a binary break between=20
these editions and the .sis will not work on any 3rd Edition phone.

You will need to re-write it for a 3rd edition phone if you wish to use
it.

[Placelab-devel] "Installation of 'placelab.sis' not supported" on Nokia N80

[Monaghan, F. <fer...@de...>]

Hi,

=20

I'm having a problem installing placelab on a Nokia N80. The MIDlet .jar
files install without problem but the when I try installing the .sis
files the phone is giving me the respective error messages:

"Installation of 'placelab.sis' not supported"

"Installation of 'placelab-autostart.sis' not supported"

=20

Perhaps I'm missing something. Has anyone experienced anything similar
or can you give me any suggestions on fixing this problem? Thanks for
reading,
