TrackNS SNR level plotting

raht · 05-21-2003

I was playing around with RedRockets Tweaked TrackNS script and wondered if it was possible to plot SNR levels instead of AP counts. I twiddled a bit and came up with a little addition that bases breadcrumb color on the values used to play the SNR wav sounds.
I'm not a coder/programmer/whatever so this needs alot of work by persons alot more capable than myself. Right now, it plots the levels like I was planning but.. if the ap is only detected for a short time, It sometimes misses it. It's my hope that someone who knows what they're doing in vb can fix this thing up or come up with something better.

This was just something I fiddled around with for fun.
I appologize in advance for messing around with RedRocket's version. I just wanted to see if this was possible because I hadnt seen anything that did a visual signal level plot in mappoint.

Colors used are
No ap detected = blue
Level 1 = green
Level 2 = yellow
Level 3 = orange
Level 4 = orange red
Level 5 = Red
Level 6 = Red (got lazy)

Here's a screen cap of a portion of the output..
TrackNS SNR level trail

The script itself is here.
TrackNS-snr-plot.vbs

Dunno if this will be useful or not?

I like your script very much.

I just discuss this problem in thread "MapPoint plus speech for NetStumbler 0.4". With bad weather and weak GPS signal I have the same problems. But on Saturday with sunshine I got the following track. I have add the APs (red and green dots) and the signal strength as an column bar and you see: No AP is missed.
