RF Module CC1101 configuration - configuration

Nowadays I would like to use CC1101 RF Module to send small data to another RF Module. I have problem with configuration process. In datasheet of this device, there is a note that to use SmartRF Studio to configure it. This program does not detect any device, but I connect it by Nucleo Board to the computer(propably there is a problem). In SmartRF Studio tutorial is a note that to use CC Debugger or another SmartRF Evaluation Board if I want have access to configure process, but is it necessary? Maybe there is another way to configure this module?
Thanks for you answers.

If you chose "Open RF device in offline mode" in the start screen of SmartRF studio, you can configure the RF parameters without any device connected, and then enable "Register View" via the checkbox on the configuration pane. The registers can be exported in various forms, e.g. as C header files or XML

You need a evaluation board to get it working with SmartRF but you can just use SmartRF to export the regeister settings and use them with a MCU using an SPI interface. To export the register settings go to "Sub-1 GHz" tab and double click on "CC1101" box, then just configure the "RF Parameters" section and click on "Register Export". You can chose the format you're exporting on "Template" tab (or create your own template) and finally export the settings as shown here.

PhpStorm and workspace issue

I have the newest version of PhpStorm.
Previously I worked with Eclipse and had the opportunity to see my whole workspace. In PhpStorm I need to open one instance per project.
In my daily workflow I need to search for strings in my workspace. In
PhpStorm I would need to switch from instance to instance and need to execute the string search again and again per instance.
Is there another solution or do I really need to execute my search multiple times?
In addition eclipse had the "Open Resource" function for the whole workspace. Does PhpStorm offers the Open Resource for whole workspace too?
In PhpStorm I need to open one instance per project.
That's correct -- currently having more than one project in one frame is not supported.

You can always attach any folder (from any project) to current project as Additional Content Root (will be listed as separate branch in Project View panel).
Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Project | Directories --> "Add Content Root" button.
Note that it will still be treated as one project (no separate settings) -- additional content root is treated as just a bunch of files/folders.

Look for commands under Navigate menu.
Navigate | File... Ctrl + Shift + N (using Default keymap) is
most likely what you need.

PhpStorm has separate keymap that similar to what Eclipse uses.

Create a standalone form shortcut in Microsoft Access 2013

I currently have a functioning form that searches through my database by calling a query. What I'm trying to do is turn this into a standalone application where I can simply open a file and only the form opens, running the database on the back-end. I have tried running a macro that opens the form, and I have tried creating a shortcut to my desktop, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything that will only show the form and the search results would be good (desktop shortcut, HTML file, etc.).
Thanks!
You will need to split your database so that the tables are located in a separate back-end file (which can be kept on a server). These instructions apply to Access 2007 and 2010 but the process is very similar for 2013.
Once this is done, your tables will become linked tables (stored in a separate file) and your front-end .addcb file will only contain queries, forms and reports.
You can control which form opens when the application loads through File -> Options -> Current Database. There are also several other useful controls here for limiting what the user can do; ie.
Hiding the list of database
Hiding the tabs (you will therefore need to create buttons to move between forms)
Hiding the Ribbon and/or status bar
Disabling Layout View
It's safest to change these settings on a copy, so you don't inadvertently lock yourself out; however, by holding down shift when opening the file from within Access, most of these options will be bypassed and you will be able to edit the database / revert these settings should you need to.
In terms of making it a "stand-alone application", it is possible to create a copy that will open without requiring the full version of MS Access on the user's PC (instead using Access Runtime).
I always distribute my front-ends as .accde format (File -> Export ACCDE). The benefits are as follows:
Smaller file size
Optimise memory usage / improves performance
VBA code runs but cannot be viewed or edited

and
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/command-function-HA001228801.aspx
Basic idea, create a macro called AutoExec that checks for a command line argument when opening the database. Setup a shortcut with a command line argument (whatever you decide to name it, I'll use 'lookuponly' as the example.) like this:
"C:\Users\%Username%\Desktop\MyDatabase.mdb" /cmd "lookuponly"
when you double click the shortcut it should auto-run the macro and open your lookup form. Of course under newer versions of access you'll have to set the location of the database as a trusted location or access will attempt to block the database.

MS Access Compile and Run

I am new to MS Access. I am building a simple project and I already have created the tables, forms and queries. My question is, how would I compile and run my program ? Is there "F5-like" to run my project on MS Access ? Or how am I going to do this? Thank you.
In other Microsoft environments, F5 is the shortcut key for "Start Debugging", or "Run", or words to that effect. When the application starts it performs a default action:
Windows forms-based applications will display the startup form
Windows console applications will start running at static void Main()
ASP.NET applications will display the default page (Default.aspx).
Unfortunately, while the VBA development environment does have an F5 shortcut key to run code (and it can be very handy during development), it doesn't mean the same thing as it does in the other environments listed above.
To "run your project" in Access you need to manually perform whatever action you have specified as the default action when the database is opened. That is normally one of two things:
If you have created a Macro named AutoExec then Access will run that, or
If you have specified a startup form (see screenshot below) then Access will open it.
So, to launch your Access project simply open the startup Form or run the AutoExec Macro. (Or, you could always just close the database and re-open it, and let Access perform the default action for you.)
make sure you have ODBC access support to run your program

Suggestions for developing WebInterface (using Tomcat)?

I am working with TS-7500 (ARM 9) board running Debian Linux (Linux ts7500 2.6.24.4). It is connected to a couple of sensors and is running driver code to talk to these sensors.
Every time the C program starts, it reads a couple of config-parameters from a config-file and starts sensors with those values.
So the task at hand is : presenting a web interface to show/edit these config-parameters to user. The task of the web interface can be summarized in four steps :
Read config-parameters from the config-file and show the current configuration
Allow user to change the configuration
Capture and save the changes to same config-file
These config-parameters could be presented as drop-down menu items or radio-buttons. And I have a linux background script which restarts the C prg when config-file is modified.
I know TS-7500 runs Tomcat. Now please suggest a good way to handle this problem. I have heard about using Servlet and JSPs (am not very familiar with those actually). Which one of them is suitable to generate HTML pages dynamically ? (as I see everytime I need to generate a new HTML page by selecting the current configuration while displaying the page).
Sorry for being very elaborate !
EDIT : Beeps ! No reply ? Come on guyz, is the question not clear ? Or no one has ever faced a similar problem (design problem) ??
The solution would be to use a PHP in addition with Apache web server ! PHP script could be used to
Read the config file and capturing the parameters
Generate a HTML form (by pre-selecting the dropdown menus and radio buttons from the already read parameters)
And capturing the new edits and saving them to config file.
PHP script must be placed in /var/www/ directory of the embedded board. Then from any system, it could be accessed just by keying the IP address of the board and the script name using a simple web browser.

How do I use phalcon-devtools\ide\phpstorm in phpstorm?

I am trying to integrate the Phalcon developer tools with phpstorm. There is a video here, but I am unable to view it due to my location.
I can't find any other usable reference in the documentation, how can I accomplish this?
Here are the steps.
Make sure you have the phalcon-devtools installed Instructions
Create a project using phalcon-devtools (unless you already have a project)
Launch PHPStorm and create the project there (unless you already did that).
Click File-Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) (or PHPStorm-Preferences for Mac)
Click the second option "Command Line Tool Support"
Click the + icon and a new popup comes up. Make sure you have "Custom Framework" selected
In the new popup type:
Framework: Phalcon
Tool path: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/phalcon-tools/ide/phpstorm/phalcon.sh
Alias: phalcon
Description: Phalcon Developer Tools
This assumes that your phalcon-tools have been installed under:
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/phalcon-tools/
Also if you use a Windows environment, you should use phalcon.bat instead of phalcon.sh (see Tool Path line above)
Click Apply and then OK.
Click Tools - Run Command (Ctrl+Shift+X)
In the Commands output window, type:
phalcon commands
You should be able to see output. If there is an error check your path. Type any of the phalcon-tools commands to generate components for your project.
In PHPStorm you should see in the project explorer "External Libraries". Right mouse click and select "Configure PHP Include Paths"
In the new dialog click the + and navigate to the /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/phalcon-tools/ide/phpstorm/0.5.0 folder and click OK.
Now as you type code, the relevant helper popup will appear with all the relevant functions.
2012-09-07: There is a beta implementation of the Phalcon PHPStorm support for 0.5.0 here. In the upcoming weeks the code will become part of the framework and included with the 0.5.0 version.
I had some problems with the execution of the phalcon.bat file on my Windows Dev machine, no PHP installed, so i research a much simpler solution for phpstorm.
Simply do following:
click on "External Libraries"
click on "Configure PHP Includes Paths..."
click on add
add "phalcon-devtools\ide\[YOUR_VERSION_DIRECTORY]"
Than you have code completion for phalcon:-)
If you see the Phalcon module loaded in phpinfo page in your WAMP server, do the following to get loaded the module in CLI mode too.
Copy <WAMP INSTALATION >\bin\apache\<APACHE VERSION >\bin\php.ini to \bin\php\<PHP VERSION>\
Set php PATH to <WAMP INSTALATION>\bin\php\<PHP VERSION>\
That should solve the problem.
It has since been changed,
"As part of our restructuring and working towards a better more robust framework in terms of features as well as organization, we have removed the IDE stubs from the Phalcon DevTools repository and moved to its own repository."
The new instructions are located here:
