FlashPAP and OSCAR

[PaulaO2]

I'm so pleased with my precious self! I got a FlashAir card, did the update thing to it.

I did the config changes easily. But I got confused about the "command line" stuff and put it in the config file instead. Once I figured out why it wasn't working, I cleared that and tried again. I was not able to connect still using the browser and the APPNAME. I looked up its IP address and entered that instead. BOOM. Done.

Used it last night and was able to import the data! No more handling the card and or forgetting to put it back in! Win for me! (I'm one of those people that kill discs via handling.)

I did the command line to the shortcut to auto open Oscar:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\FlashPAP\FlashPAP.jar" user=PaulaO exit=yes startapp=yes shimport=yes

Took a while to figure out the proper syntax. The extra stuff needs to be outside the quote marks. Once that was set, it opens OSCAR. Closes itself. But it didn't import the data into OSCAR (that's the shimport part). I pointed to the FlashPAP folder and it uploaded it properly. So very cool. I think the shimport only works with SH and I'm okay with that.

Where do I tell OSCAR to go to that folder each time I click the "import data" button? Or will it just auto do that once I did it the first time? Is it possible to have OSCAR and FlashPAP speak to each other? Like y'all need something else on your to-do list, right?

Congratulations! If you want to be lazy like me, put your code line in a text file with a ".bat" suffix. You can then use Task Scheduler to automatically download your data each day.

OSCAR remembers where it last imported data from and will offer the FlashPAP directory automatically.

As for OSCAR and the Flashair card communicating directly, several people have suggested that and it is on our wish list of ideas.

Oh. I need to do that. Just create a text file with the code in my first post and name it whatever.bat? I can do that! Cooool.

Thanks! Glad to know. To both.

In thinking about how I do it, I don't start OSCAR. I just use it to download the data.

[PaulaO2]

Yeah, I opted to remove the "startapp=yes shimport=yes" part. It is still in the shortcut if I ever want to do that. Problem was finding a time when I would be awake!

Since the Resmed ends the day at noon, I have it set to download at 12:05PM. I've never slept through noon so I thought that time would be safe.

When creating a batch file in Windows, make sure you do not use your Word Processor (like MS Word or MS Works, etc).. instead use Notepad to create the file, and change the .txt ending to .bat instead.  Word processors add extra formatting codes, which you don't want in an executable batch file.

For more info on this, search Google for "How to create and run a batch file on Windows 10"

Hi,

For those of us a bit more computer-challenged, please provide both sample configuration and batch files to be written to the FhashAir card. I can set up my router so that the IP address is fixed and is tied to the card's MAC address.

Thanks.
