Hi all.,

The Windows Store App 'Radiation Explorer for Safecast Data' is available.

It runs on Windows 10 from version 15036. You need more than 10 GB RAM to view the Safecast CSV files.

You can install it from here:


What is NOT implemented:

Most of the Safecast REST api. So when you install it on a phone, you need to connect the phone to a PC and copy over the LOG files to send them to safecast...

Hope you like it!

Nice!

I'm noticing we could really use a more predictable URL for CSV sources from the API. Right now you'd have to read it out of https://api.safecast.org/bgeigie_imports/10757.json for any given upload id.

Seems like it'd probably be nicer to have something like https://api.safecast.org/bgeigie_imports/10757/source return a 302 to the original CSV

The next version of Windows 10 store app RadExSada is almost finished:
New features are:
- posting recorded data to safecast database via safecast Rest Api
- view LOG files from all users
- maps can be made grayscale and inverted (to get a darker background)
- datapoint layer can be made transparent
- show latest or maximum datapoints
- real time (gpu) interpolation added: triangles, Voronoi, IDW (inverse distance weight)

A video of the interpolations is here: RadExSada interpolation

Nice work, ferdo! The interactive interpolation is pretty neat looking.

Hi Ferdo,

what about a Windows 7 version?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Alberto,

Maybe in the distant future. But certainly not soon, there is no plan. Support for Win7 ends on January 14, 2020, so maybe never....

regards,
Ferdinand

Hi,
then you probably loose many potential users because ending official support means no end of functionality and many private users will continue to use Win7. 

OT comment - when I see what Microsoft does with Windows 10 it heavily encourages me to migrate all needed apps to non-Microsoft dependent ones and to be prepared to leave Windows as main system. 
I am glad we were able to choose a multi-platform software for Safecast data processing so even Mac users can enjoy it.

Jan

Hi,

I could port it to a classic win32 x64 WPF application. This would run on Win7 too, could then use even CUDA instead of C++ AMP to better utilize the GPU for certain code (CUDA does not run on UWP).

But in the first place RadExSaDa is not meant for other users, but primarily a privat project to grab and post bGeigie data on my Lumia 950XL phone. It has grown a little with all the interpolation code added (real time Multilevel B-Spline interpolation is added now too), but these are pure personal hobby interests. They show that when the safecast javascript website would use the GPU it could show similar features in real time.

Publishing an UWP app in the Microsoft Store is a no brainer. So other people could use it too on Windows 10. And as it is free, please don't complain and don't start an OS war with me. Apple and Google are as worse as Microsoft if not more evil...
