API Use sendSnapshot

[blackfox123]

I wish to develop a small application for my office to give me an overview of all the screens I have, and a small snapshot every 5mins or something.

I can see within the API (pepper.js) there is a function sendSnapshot - there is very little documentation on how to incorporate pepper.js into our own applicaitons - it would be nice with a small quick howto?

1. authenticate:

Code: [Select]

dbConnect: function (i_user, i_pass, i_callBack) { ...

2. provide your station id: i_station to the function

Code: [Select]


/**
         Send a remote snapshot command for station id and wait for a call back.
         @method _sendSnapshotCommand
         @param {Number} i_station
         @return none
         **/
        _sendSnapshotCommand: function (i_station) {
            var self = this;
            var d = new Date().getTime();
            var path = pepper.sendSnapshot(d, 0.2, i_station, function (e) {
            });
            setTimeout(function () {
                self.m_imagePath = path;
            }, 3000);
        },

OK Great. Few questions. Do i just include the pepper.js in my script?
What is i_callback? I understand it's a @param {Function} i_callBack but in my case?

Hello,
I'd like to refresh this topic.
We want to do exactly the same thing as blackfox123 did.

@blackfox123 - did you manage to create your small app ? Could you share it with me ?

Does anyone have a sample of complete code to get snapshot from a station ?

Regards
