Reefing and AI (Apex debugging)

[phatduckk]

So I was messing with my tank setup recently. Adding new level sensors, cleaning/replacing opticals etc... spring cleaning type stuff.
I checked a bunch of stuff off my list then saw my auto water change virtual outlet (AWC_ENABLED) was set to off. So instead of debugging it myself I thought "I wonder if I can get AI to do this"...

Turns out your can....

I just copy/pasted my Apex code & handed it a copy of http://apex.local/cgi-bin/status.xml and it figured it out. Clearly I could have done this myself but I thought I'd experiment. I've always wanted a "bedugger" in the Apex code panel and I think I can make one now.

Anyways - if I get a bit of time im going to go ahead and see if I can make Chrome extension to add a debugger to apex.local (not sure its possible - but I think it is)

stay tuned

NICE

OK after a few minutes of messing around it looks possible ....

Note the new debug icon. Everything else is exploratory (colored lines) and nowhere near the finished version. But I think I can pull this off

Almost done

Quick explanation:

• the line gutter (line numbers) turn red/green to reflect the current status of the outlet/probe being evaluated on that line
• The entire line turns red/green to show you which line "won" and cause your output to be in its current state.

So breaking down the screenshot

Code	Explanation of colors in debugger
Set OFF	# green gutter b/c this is now "off"
Set OFF	# im dumb for having this twice
If RES_LV < 7.3 Then ON	# gutter red bc LLS isn't reading < 7.3
If Rtn_lv > 7.9 Then ON	# gutter red bc LLS isn't reading > 7.9
If Time 00:00 to 06:59 Then OFF	# gutter red bc its currently not between midnight and 7am
If Time 07:01 to 23:59 Then OFF	# gutter green bc the time is currently between 7am and midnight. The line is red because this line

Anyways - here's a demo of the work in progress

OK give it a try https://github.com/phatduckk/apex-debugger

 

[phatduckk]

added a new feature... you now get little debug icons on the dashboard next to the cog. Click on one to see all the other outlets that use this one's value in their programming

 

[phatduckk]

ok - got bored and added another feature

The Explore panel lets you browse every probe in your config and see at a glance which other outlets reference it — or don't.

Open it from the ? help menu in the top toolbar of the dashboard and select Explore.

I can't see the red/green difference!

What colors can you differentiate? I can have my AI friend add that in a few minute. Just let me know what you want instead of green & red

I had AI do the whole thing. It whipped the whole thing up in mere minutes. Kinda nuts honestly

that is awesome.
Can it italize? Or underline or outline?
