wmwifirouter + tomtom controller script

[firecat]

Hey, I made this little mortscript (still a work in progress) but I think it's really handy and you may too. When assigned to a hardware button it sure simplifies the amount of buttons I press when getting in and out of my car.

While I'm still working on it. I wanted to share what I have so far. Maybe someone else will like this script idea and contribute. It basically has 4 operations right now:

- Full Car Mode - starts up wmwifirouter + tomtom with no intervention. I like that. (Great for my iPod Touch.)
- Travel Mode - shuts all that stuff down and turns off. (Shears off a few precious seconds when i get out of my car.)
- Router Mode - starts up wmwifirouter and shuts off the screen when it's ready.
- Shutdown Router System - Turns off Wmwifirouter then waits for that annoying little wifi restart and turns off.

----------------
*currently the script relies on PHMTools for screen control.

Things I'm working on...
-Adjust Brightness to maximum while using TomTom. Then down again when shutting off. I had this working at one point. It was cool when it did work.

Here is my version 1.0
Let me know what you think!

Seems useful. I don't use TomTom but if I did I'd give this a shot. Hopefully someone else will leave a comment if they're using it.

Glad to see some more people using Mortscript; great piece of software.

does this make treo 800w work with tomtom's data service?

it doesn't effect tt in any way. you have to have it working already. it just removes a lot of the button preesage involved in starting tt and wmwifirouter together when you get in your car so your friends or your ipod touch can connect up.

*I'd really like to figure the treo 800w brightness control so that the screen will go to max brightness when tt starts. Then down again when i shut off the setup
