Hi Guys,
This XML idea is great...I could make a webpage and application ( hosted on
my server (or Elecraft's)) where you could go to a webpage, upload your
config, mess about with it and download
it, then, instead of having loads of programs all over the world - possibly
needing updates, if the format or tagging changed, then we can just change
one option - (select firmware revision) and automatically implement new
features in the XML.... the idea of being able to edit the memories is
really cool and quite easy to achieve... Perhaps Simon also has some
ideas...
If we can develop a spec for the interchange format - I could write some
code for this type of tool quite easily, - when you down,load the file, you
could select either XML or CSV - no probs.
XML is just a tagging method - so you can easily find,change and insert
data into a structure...it is not black magic. Professionally, I develop
applications for creating and manipulating XML and CSV data...
but I prefer to have an online version of the file editor - it is much
easier to handle updates and changes, than in a distributed system....
Your thoughts please...
