This version's changes are:

(better) potrait mode support
Fix for list/defail view: The gui was rewritten to use qscrollarea instead of qlistview in order to avoid drawing problems. It is also a lot faster.
Fix the refresh bug where sometimes data were not refreshed properly and a "refresh" was required.
Some minor changes/fixes.

As always, test it, abuse it and if you have problems report them. If not then vote for it.

Why no option for/auto portrait mode?
Ctrl+Shift+R on the N900 is a joke.:confused:

Version 1.0-2 has full portrait mode support without using the ctrl-shirt-R combination. Perhaps you are affected by a well known bug (common to all qt applications) where you need to interact with the application first for portrait/landscape switching to work.

You have any sugestion what i could try?

a) Use the top menu and open the "About" box before trying
b) Portrait will only work with a closed keyboard, but I guess you already know that. Try opening and closing the keyboard once before rotating the device

What python2.5-qt4-core version do you have installed?

Type this in a terminal:

dpkg -l python2.5-qt4-core
dpkg -l python2.5-qt4-gui

Also, what version of wifieye did you install? (dpkg -l wifieye)

You are using wifieye from extras. The announcement is for version 1.0-2 which is currently available in extras-testing. Either wait for 1.0 to be promoted or get it from extras-testing and test it.

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

Now i suddenly got access to an update of wifieye updateted and triet what you asked me first. No go. But changing view to Details did get the rotation to work.

wifieye 1.0-2

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

Ok thanks for your help, and fyi. i have had the extras-testing repository enabled all the time. My bad for trusting the "update" to bring me latest version before hitting update 10 times. Must be som mirror sites not replicated or something.

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

while I am in Portret mode, eg. in Channels View and hit the Select View, it rotates back to Landscape View, I can rotate the phone to get it the right way, but it looks "not correct"

I bet that if you try this a couple of times (exit app and restart it) it won't happen all the time. This is a problem of Qt and I hope that it will be fixed in a latter version. There is a recent thread on that in maemo-developers.

Wifieye now has 12 votes in extras-testing but there is no option for promoting it to extras. Do you have any idea on what is going on?

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

I really love WifiEye so far, it is very useful to measure the strength of WLAN networks to find for example a good place for a Repeater to connect several houses with each other. The portrait mode is lovely to use it in one hand only.

Nice additional features would be:

- A logging function (Maybe with GPS?) to capture for example open networks in range / leave it running while you drive to find them

- Let it log only a specific channel so it refresh faster (Would be really helpful)

- A option to show only open / encrypted networks in the graphics (Useful to find open networks in range)

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

While we are wishlists, it would be nice to have a falloff marker (maybe with dome transparency ?) which marks the strongest signal level of a particular AP (like on some vu-meters).

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

WifiEye does not recognize an accesspoint when the accespoint is turned on while WifiEye is auto-refreshing.

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

Here is an interesting (but somehow useless) thing to test with wifieye:

If you have a microwave oven then start wifieye and go to 'time graph'. Then put n900 inside the oven and close the door. The microwave oven uses microwave radiation at 2.45G which is near the 2.4G of 802.11b/g and its surrounding is very insulating at that frequency. If all goes well you should see the line of your wifi signal drop to near zero (or even disappear) when you close the door. :D

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

I have some suggestions to improve this great application.

Include the option to record the collected data to be exported to format ".csv" and can analyze with external applications such as spreadsheets, etc.

It would be very helpful if it could also record the GPS data of the detected networks. This would enable audit coverage maps, etc.

Another option to make a coverage map but this time indoors, where GPS is not very useful, would be making use of the accelerometer. Defining the epicenter of issue we can move with the N900 tracking and calculating the distance we have traveled.

This application lets users hallucinating other platforms, is very good.

I believe that this is not a target function of wifieye. This would add a number of problems that GPS-related programs face including the validity/accuracy of the GPS data.

If I understand you correctly, this is something that is known not to be possible with N900 because of the accuracy of the accelerometer. From here:

Quote:

The absolute resolution is poor - 18 mG (at 2 G sensitivity) typical. This is fine for detecting the orientation of the phone, but makes most uses that would attempt to integrate the acceleration for detection of position useless.

In any case, your suggestions are not part of wifieye's goals (sorry) and since I'm a fan of the unix philosophy, I recommend that another program be created to do those thing. This new program may accomplish this by using the wifieye code and some python. For example, try this:

Code:

from wifieye import wifi

r=wifi.scan()

for i in r:

  print r[i]['essid'], r[i]['quality']['quality']

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

Thanks for the clarification on the problems associated with my suggestions.

I'll try burning the code you have shown.

What I need is if a record on file of sight in "Time graph" for further analysis or backup of the measures.

Seek the way to go.

Thank you very much!

Open a terminal and run "wifieye". Then copy-paste the output here. The error messages will indicate the problem.

However, this is most probably the same as this bug.

Re: [Announce] WifiEye

This, "RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v7.1" Can this be worked out around in the WiFiEye code?

No, it's an environmental issue: http://twitter.com/#!/mwkn/status/3474687963176960
