Sometimes tools are needed to help with diagnosing of problems when writing configuration widgets that send data, or widgets that get data from the Chumby network. Here are two simple tools that can help:

RootExaminer

A simple widget that dumps out the properties of _root. Useful to see what values you can get from servers, or from your configuration widget. Substitute for the widget you are working on. Note you can use this as a configuration

  • NOTE: it is an exercise of the reader to extend it to scroll.

Configurator

A configuration widget that sets and retrieves data from the server. The user can set or edit any 'name=value' of their choosing. The widget under development will get these values in their root timeline. Enter your name=value pairs on each line of its own.

Download

The code and widgets and be found [TBD]. This code is under BSD license except for the parts written by Chumby industries.
