I was showing off my tuxdroid at the Dallas area unix group and I =20
realised that there was no function to play sounds so I went browsing =20
in the firmware source code. The patches are attached.
See =20
http://www.tuxisalive.com/documentation/how-to/remote-control-standaloneby =
=20
just pushing buttons (no computer or dongle involved).
I decided that the colour keys would be suitable and tried a stored =20
sound to each one and ended up assigning a behaviour (like when you =20
connect the power or turn tux on).
In the tuxcore code, the file standalone.c contains a switch statement =20
that describes what should happen when the remote sends a key press. It =20
looks like this:
switch (ir_command)
{
case K_0:
COMMAND;
break;
}
with a case for each key code.
So I added cases for K_RED, K_GREEN, K_BLUE and K_YELLOW, something =20
like this:
case K_RED:
launchActions((const uint8_t*)&tux_k_red_e);
break;
tux_k_red_e describes what should happen when the red button key code =20
is received. There is one for each key.
In config.c, I added an entry for tux_k_red_e:
uint8_t tux_k_red_e[LONG_EVENT] EEMEM =3D TUX_K_RED_E_SEQ;
and in common/config.h, I added a description of the sequence:
/* Actions on Red Button */
#define TUX_K_RED_E_SEQ {\
10, PLAY_SOUND_CMD, 3, 0, 0, /* play a sound */\
10, MOVE_MOUTH_CMD, 2, 0, 0,\
END_OF_ACTIONS\
}
The number after the sound cmd is the index of the stored sound to be =20
played. I don't know what the number at the start of each line is for.
A few lines need to be added to the config.h in tuxcore (not the one in =20
common/):
/* Demo sequences on remote colour keys */
extern uint8_t tux_k_red_e[];
After I compile everything, upload it to the tux and try it out, I find =20
it mostly works. For some reason, even though all the behaviour =20
sequences look alike except for the sound number, Tux doesn't always =20
want to play when the red button is pressed, but works on the other =20
keys. Also, the eyes don't light when Tux is powered on and he makes =20
no noise.
Another oddity is that the mouth movements and wing flappings occur at =20
different times for each colour, but occur consistently at those times.
I have attached patches in case they are of interest:
demo_h.patch - patches config.h.
demo.patch - patches common/config.h
demo_c.patch - patches config.c and standalone.c - if this patch is not =20
applied, the patches to the .h files have no effect.
