I am trying to add a button to the existing java console for the SRV-1 that would send a command to get RSSI information from a node.  
 
I downloaded the java file but I am a little lost within the code. I have experience with coding in C++ and some experience with Java.  
 
I would first like to figure out how to add a button, compile the new code, and run it. Then I would like to try to figure out how to send out the command for RSSI information.  
 
Could someone point me in the right direction please?  
 
Thanks

Hey guys,  
 
I am trying to revise the console using Eclipse as my java compiler.  
 
I copied and pasted the code from site into a java file named SRV1Console.java
 
Additionally, put that file in the following dir: "C:\com\surveyor\" because I figured that's the only way the compiler would make sense of the "import com.surveyor.wstreamd.*;" line in the code.  
 
I also included the ImageButton.class, RXTXcomm.jar, wstreamd_embed.jar, and the SRV1Console.java in that folder as well.  
 
I figured I could do that instead of running "javac -classpath .:ImageButton:RXTXcomm.jar:wstreamd_embed.jar: SRV1Console.java" from the command prompt.  
 
This unfortunately does not work... the compiler can not find the gnu.io package nor can it find the com.surveyor.wmstreamd package (it gives me errors at those two lines plus others because of those at run-time).  
 
The lines of code I am referring to are:  
 
     import gnu.io.*;
 
     import com.surveyor.wstreamd.*;
 
Can someone help me please! I am getting very frustrated... I am running this on WinXP with the newest JDK installed. Another note, I decided to just extract the SRV1Console.zip contents into the same folder with my java file so that I could cover all bases.  
 
Thanks in advance.

Thanks.  
 
I actually tried that too with no luck. I get approximately 26 errors at run-time.  
 
I'm asking this question out of confusion... but why would I need to run javac instead? How does that differ from what I'm trying to do?  
 
Thanks again.

I tried compiling directly with javac again and it's still giving me trouble. I extracted all of the files from the console zip file and added the SRV1Console.java file into the same folder. I ran javac from the same directory with all of my files still with no luck.  
 
I have no clue what I could be doing that is wrong.  
 
I still get the same errors that I got before and even when I tried my own method, which was copying the files in my own directory with the SRV1Console.java file and trying to compile the java file through a Windows-based compiler e.g. Eclipse.  
 
I get 26 errors at run-time.  
 
I'm having trouble with the gnu.io package and the com.surveyor.wstreamd package. I'm almost 90% positive that this is where the problem is.  
 
Any ideas? Anything that I should try? Or anything that I'm missing?

jdk1.6

Okay,  
 
So I actually got it to compile finally. Thanks for all of your help. I'm still using the newest version of JDK... it's 1.6. What I did to get it to compile was converted the ImageButton.class file to a jar file instead and added it my project path... this was all for compiling it on an XP machine through Eclipse as my compiler.  
 
How do I get it to open up in a window? because so far all it does is compiles and tells me that it's trying to connect to the serial port or whatnot in the compilers console. I was hoping it would compile and run it as an app (more or less).  
 
Additionally, I want to modify the console in a way where I can have one half of the window display what is being captured by the camera and the other half I want to have a display showing the nodes wireless signal strength and a display (graphical display) of how far the node actually is from the base (the PC). This display can track the node as well so it will displaying it's position in real-time.  
 
Any ideas or suggestions? Any code already written that is similar to this?  
 
Thanks so much.

Okay... now what about doing it through the compiler though?

It's just been giving me some problems. I couldn't get the Console to display once it was compiled. But, I recently got it to work though.  
 
The other problem that I ran into now though was it that I couldn't get the console to load fully.  
 
The last time that I tried it, the buttons were not put up on the console; so it just looked like the console with no buttons below the video output window.  
 
I am not sure if there something not working in the method that reads the "srv.config" file or the getButtonPanel method.  
 
Any ideas?
