The radiation mapping application has been developed using the directions of the experienced Interface Analysis Centre (IAC) researchers. It is a very specific application and in order to be useful and a real tool in the hands of the user, it has to be specifically defined and designed according to their needs. The configuration screen… Continue reading Radiation mapping application (Functionality)
The radiation mapping application was developed based on the iPhone 5 screen dimensions. Consequently, the layout and the size of the elements are adapted to this device. The minimum supported iOS version is the 7th. The implemented application consists of three UIViewControllers embedded in navigation controllers (fig.1). The main data structure that holds the mapping… Continue reading Radiation mapping application (Implementation)
This mobile application constitutes an important part of this project since it is directly related to the radiation mapping visualisation. Up until now the radiation mapping is a procedure which is conducted offline. To illustrate, the operator could carry a hand held measurement device that stores the data in a SD memory card. Upon the… Continue reading Radiation mapping application (Concept)
The implementation of the application was based on three UIViewControllers embedded in navigation controllers (fig.1). The navigation between the screens was accomplished using segues. In the projects’ workspace, three external libraries have been imported, namely: SocketRocket RBManager MKMapView As long as the control tab is enabled, the control messages are published in a continuous rate… Continue reading Control a ROS-enabled UAV (Implementation)
One of the popular and traditional methods of tele-operating a quad copter is using a Remote Control (RC). It is a well-established and tested method, which has its origin before the era of the UAV. Nowadays, advanced UAVs are equipped with many sensors and specific purpose equipment such as cameras or radiation spectrometers. An alternative… Continue reading Control a ROS-enabled UAV (Concept)
There are some times that you want to have two targets from a cell. One solution is to navigate to different UIViewController when you tap in the UITableViewCell and to a different when you tap to its detail disclosure button. I’m sure that in a situation like that you want to spice up a little… Continue reading Custom image for the detail disclosure button
OK, the case is that in your application take advantage of the appearance proxy (iOS 5) for presenting a custom UI for your app. In AppDelegate.m you have and everything is working fine until??? Until the moment that you decide that in a UiSegmentedControl in a specific UIViewController you want a different appearance. This is… Continue reading Override appearance proxy for a certain UIViewController
If your app targets to iPhone 5 as well you have to submit a 4 inch retina screenshot as well. So as Apple documented you have: To specify default launch images for iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) devices, include the modifier string -568h immediately after the portion of the filename. Because these devices… Continue reading Default.png launch image on iPhone 5
