<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>New Feature: Snap To Sockets</strong><br />Now it's going to start to get very interesting... Imagine if the rack planner knew where the sockets were on each module and automatically snapped your patch cables accurately to the correct place as you drew each of them onto your plan. Well, now it does. OK, you're going to need to teach it where the sockets are once for each module, but once done it's done. I plan on building a tool into the program that allows you to load a module in and interactively map it's sockets (and other controls). In the case of the uLFO below that would be just 13 clicks for the sockets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I entered some coordinates for the uLFO's sockets to test this new idea and it works really well. It currently highlights any known 'hotspots' in green until you patch into one then it turns red. This red/green thing is purely a debug feature so I can see how well it's working, but I think you'll see how much easier this makes patching. Just click near a hotspot and the cable end snaps to it - same when you release. If no hotspots are defined, or you click/drop away from any hotspots then the cable just stays where you drop it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>New Feature: Knob Overlays</strong><br />For patch notation a way of representing knob positions is required. Introducing 'Knob Overlays'. As with yesterday's 'socket hotspots' the knob positions need to be defined once per module. After that just drag a 'Knob Overlay' out from the still-to-be-coded 'Overlays Palette'. It would snap into place over the desired knob hotspot. Once placed a click and drag of the mouse will set the pointer position. The hotspot will also 'know' what the knob does so the descriptive 'Patch Sheet' will be able to say something like <em>"Set uLFO FM2 knob to '8'"</em>. Switches, buttons and sliders (and maybe even LEDs with a 'Nighttime View' to see how blinky any given layout will be!) will be other overlays available from the palette. Overlays will be able to be turned on or off as per n0rd's suggestion to have the ability to hide patch cables.</span></div>

<span class="postbody"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I couldn't sleep so I did some work on the patch cables.
The new black outlining and centre dots make them much more visible and defined
against the (usually) grey module panels. I've also added a nice little function
to snap any new patch cables created to the positions of existing ones if they
are near enough. This makes for a much neater picture. There's still work to do
on the cables, but they are headed in the right direction now...</span> </span></span></div>

<span class="postbody"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Thanks to a great idea from my Dad you now get a visual
preview of each module if you hover your mouse over the module's 'module tree'
button for more than half a second. The preview is scaled nicely to fill the
free area of screen to the right of the module tree. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />I've also added
keyboard shortcuts to the main options (feet [F], shadows [S], rounded corners
[R], rack info [I], lock [L]) <br /><br />And I've added single module cut, copy and
paste using the [X], [C] and [V] keys.</div>

<span class="postbody"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tonight's work included several bug-fixes, some subtle
cosmetic changes, changes to the clear/delete rack routines and right click drag
to select racks for horizontal alignment. In the picture below,
right-click-dragging from the top-left corner of the pink rectamgle to the
bottom right and releasing left-aligned the racks. Come at it from the other
side and they right-align. The module chooser now defaults to whatever format
the currently selected rack is rather than having to explicitly choose 'EURO'
for instance each time.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tonight I added the following: <br /><br />1) Definitions for what a module width is
called per format (HP, U, MU etc.). These are used in the rack data (currently
shown to the right of each rack) and in the 'Add Rack' dialog box. <br /><br />2)
Definitions for a default rack width per format (84HP for Euro, 6U for Wiard,
8MU for Dotcom etc.) <br /><br />3) Beginnings of rack overlap detection and
auto-relocation to free space. <br /><br />4) A couple of little nice touches that
(probably) nobody except me will ever notice, but would bug me if I didn't add
them! <br /><br />5) 6U/Wiard format is now catered for:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Tonight I added a power overview mode that shows the current drawn by each
module as well as total current used for the whole rack. (if the current draw is
unknown or not specified in the module's XML file the module will be highlighted
in red so you know your overall power figure is missing this module - see the
<span style="font-style: italic;">Mutamix</span> in the image below). Also
displayed are space usage stats and the space used by each module.</span> </span><br />

The 'add rack' code now allows you to select the format, number of 'module units' wide and number of rows for the rack you want to add to the plan. It then creates a new rack to those specs. The screenshot shows 4 racks created very quickly in succession. Some more error checking code is required around this, but this is a key chunk of work done (there's no use having a rack planner that you can't add a rack to!). 'Show Rack Feet' will be an option :-) </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You can now keep selecting and adding modules from the 'Module Tree' until you
click away from it when you are taken back to the main plan screen. This makes
building up a rack so much quicker. In the picture below I had just clicked
repeatedly on the A-160 list entry:</span></span><br />

Further enhancements to the 'Add Module' code. You can now scroll the manufacturer and module lists vertically (by dragging them up/down with the mouse) if they don't fit on the screen (great for the long list of Doepfer modules). It also remembers where you last added a module from and takes you straight back there the next time you click 'Add'. Format and manufacturer remain highlighted while you choose the module.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K7O2W1zTrrw/T_75tUr7g5I/AAAAAAAAAm0/_vuWgzp2xzE/s1600/Rack+Planner+1.14+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K7O2W1zTrrw/T_75tUr7g5I/AAAAAAAAAm0/_vuWgzp2xzE/s320/Rack+Planner+1.14+3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Modules no longer stack up in the top left corner of the rack as they are added. They start at the top left, moving across each row in turn looking for a space big enough for the chosen module. If such a a space is found then the module is put there. If not it reverts to top left as before. This works really nicely and saves alot of dragging around when first building up a plan. It'll be an option in the final version (for those of you that want a stack of modules in the top left corner).</div>RichyHohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05650818964032221035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339261950694424919.post-75299942673588932582012-07-12T00:07:00.000+01:002012-07-12T00:07:14.850+01:00Rack Planner Update<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't had much time for coding this evening, but I did make some progress with the module selection routines. You can now select Add - Format - Manufacturer - Module as shown below:</div>

I decided not to use the standard windows file chooser as a) it is slow and b) in Processing it remembers the last folder and you can't specify the new folder in code so you have to click around to get to where you want to be every time. More work for me, but at least it'll be quick and unique. </div>RichyHohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05650818964032221035noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339261950694424919.post-11129979558194154802012-07-09T23:28:00.002+01:002012-07-09T23:28:53.416+01:00Rack Planner Update 1.13 + Video #2<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I fixed a few bugs and added button functionality for the Add, Load and Save menus and toggle buttons for the Debug and FreeDrop options. These look alot neater:</div>

Here's a video overview of the features implemented to date.</div>

I've added hole size, hole position, number of holes per unit width (Buchla has 2, the others so far have one) and mounting rail thickness definitions to the rack class. The results can be seen in the image below which shows one of each format I've implemented so far - Euro, Frac, Dotcom and Buchla.</div>

Today was a big day in my rack planner's development. A very big day. Today's the day we went multi-format. The planner can now handle Buchla and Synthesizers.com modules as well as Eurorack - in the same plan. Other formats should present few challenges - just a matter of inputting the dimensions of a standard width panel for each. I'm really pleased with how well this has worked out.</div>

Please ignore the nonsense patch - it's purely a test to make sure that all the previously coded functionality works with the new rack sizes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also added today were proper load and save routines (before it just loaded and saved a single hard-coded file as a proof of concept) and autoloading of a default rack (rack.xml as per Doug's planner) if found.</div>RichyHohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05650818964032221035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339261950694424919.post-82554589558683488972012-07-05T23:15:00.001+01:002012-07-05T23:15:57.813+01:00Rack Planner Update 1.11<div style="text-align: justify;">
Code has been completed to link the patch cables to the modules they are drawn on. This means that when a module is moved either within a rack, or across to another rack, the cables stay attached. There's no point showing a picture to illustrate this as it needs a video to do it justice (although in the pic below you can see that the Choices joystick is being moved and its connection to the left Plague Bearer is being maintained). I'll make a short vid at the weekend to show all progress to date.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've added to the dropzone code to show not only how wide a module is, but also how big the gap you are failing to drop it into is.</div>
