Repeat IfAboveAction in regular intervals

[Asagrim]

Hello!

I have the following code: (note: i set the calc formula relation intentionally backwards so i could test if it works!)

Code: Select all

[Ms_CPUTemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\CoreTemp.dll
CoreTempType=MaxTemperature

[Ms_CPUTempTjMax]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\CoreTemp.dll
CoreTempType=TjMax

[Ms_CPUTempCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Ms_CPUTemp<Ms_CPUTempTjMax
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute ["#ROOTCONFIGPATH#Addons\JSMSpeak2.exe" "Warning! CPU temperature above tolerance level!" "en"]

This works just fine if i load the skin - the warning is audible. However if i add any UpdateDivider to it, the script maybe repeats the message twice in absolutely uneven intervals, then it mutes for good. (It's not flood protection, i added the same bang to LeftMouseUpAction and spammed it for like 80 times, always worked.)

How could this script be modified in order to hear this warning message exactly every 30 seconds as long as the IfAboveValue condition is met?

Thanks for any help!

Try setting your Update to 1000 (in the [Rainmeter] section), then set UpdateDivider to 30 in your Calc.

Here is some more information on UpdateDivider.

I had the same values as you suggested before posting. I have Update=1000 and set UpdateDivider to 30 on these measures. It didn't work. (I only pasted this fragment without [Rainmeter] and others because the entire code is now 1784 lines, this is the fragment i have problems with).

Try this:

Code: Select all

[Ms_CPUTemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\CoreTemp.dll
CoreTempType=MaxTemperature

[Ms_CPUTempTjMax]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\CoreTemp.dll
CoreTempType=TjMax

[Ms_CPUTempCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Ms_CPUTemp<Ms_CPUTempTjMax
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!EnableMeasure cCalc
IfBelowValue=1
IfBelowAction=!DisableMeasure cCalc

[cCalc]
Formula=Calc
Formula=cCalc%30+1
IfEqualValue=1
IfEqualAction=!Execute ["#ROOTCONFIGPATH#Addons\JSMSpeak2.exe" "Warning! CPU temperature above tolerance level!" "en"]
Disabled=1

The problem is with how IfxxxxAction works. It is fired one time when the condition becomes "true" and then is not fired again until the condition becomes "false" and then back to "true" again.

So you can't have a repeating action using an IfxxxxAction if the value remains "true".

However, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
CoreTemp=50

[MeasureCheckTemp]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#CoreTemp#
DynamicVariables=1
IfAboveValue=39
IfAboveAction=!EnableMeasure MeasureCounter
IfBelowValue=40
IfBelowAction=!DisableMeasure MeasureCounter

[MeasureCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter % 31
IfEqualValue=1
IfEqualAction=Play #CURRENTPATH#Click.wav
Disabled=1

[MeterOne]
Meter=Image
W=25
H=25
SolidColor=255,255,255,255
LeftMouseUpAction=!SetVariable CoreTemp 30

What this does is use the value from your CoreTemp measure(s) (I don't have CoreTemp, so I just faked it with a variable that I can change with a click on that image meter) and then if the value is above some target, "enable" the [MeasureCounter] measure that counts to 30 (seconds, as Update=1000) and does some action. I just have it play a sound for this sample.

When the value of the CoreTemp measure(s) fall below the target, the [MeasureCounter] measure is "disabled", so it stops counting and playing the sound.

Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but shouldn't your formula be: "Formula=Ms_CPUTemp>Ms_CPUTempTjMax"?

The way you have it suggests that the maximum temperature of your cores is less than the maximum rated temperature from the manufacturer - then run the command.....don't you want it to be if the maximum temperature of your cores is greater than the maximum rated temperature from the manufacturer?

Or am I missing something?

Smurfie was too fast for me. His approach is a variant of mine. Either will work.

Yes, you miss that that i've set the relation intentionally wrong, so it would be true, so i can test the code. I mentioned it right before the code fragment.

[Brian]

oops...

Be careful if you use Smurfier's code, I think he is missing a "!DisableMeasure" to turn the action back off when the value falls back below the target. If you add that, his works well.
