SleepyHead update coming very soon.

[jedimark]

Hi Guys & Gals..

Guess who finally got the coding bug again? Me

I can't believe it's been a year since last update o-O.. sorry guys
Anyway... hopefully that won't happen again!

Rich Freeman has kindly delved into the gizzards of the PRS1 loader, and sorted through the various patches that whizzed past me while I was in a daze and added 60 series support into the main sleepyhead Tree. (Plus fixed some other bugs and stuff too, Thanks Rich!)

I'm currently sorting out a few printing, graphics and font issues that are affecting the Mac platform, and addressing a few performance problems too.

I've only recently converted to Mac after years of Linux stuff, and still have quite a lot to learn about OSX, but luckily Jimbo, my guru on Mac matters has got me up to speed enough. (Thanks Jimbo!)

So we will try to rush an update for 60 series users, and focus on improving the ResMed support in the a follow up release. (i've still got a couple of critical resmed glitches to sort out for this one though..)

I'm very grateful for the help and support I've received, and the masses of encouragement I've got from you guys! I'd be still a squishy pile of goo on the floor without it!

After years of pretending it doesn't exist, someone asked nicely if I had one, so I now have a twitter thingy. @Jedimark64. I'd appreciate some minions..er i mean followers.. I mean loyal fans.. Pretty Please?

SleepyHead's facebook & google+ pages probably could do with a helper.. Appologies for being so slack with updates and answering questions on there
If anyone in the dev/documentation circles wants to help out as an admin, I'd appreciate it.

SourceForge project page accidentally got "upgraded" (mea culpa, I couldn't hack the nagging it gave me). It may look a little different, but it's the same thing. If you were following GIT source code, you will need to pull fresh from a new GIT server to continue getting fresh code.

Anyway.. back to coding and stuff.

Regards

JediMark

Thanks for the cool software!

Hi Mark. Thanks for all the time you put in to produce an awesome piece of software! My question concerns SleepyHead linux. Will there be an update for us too? I have a Respironics 60 series and I've been running SH Windows with the patch through wine but it crashes all the time. I have crash reports if you need them.

I've got a few helpers that build for several flavours of Linux, so hopefully soon.. (What flavour do you run btw?)
Hopefully soon we will be able to get SleepyHead into some more package management systems like apt/yum/etc.

I do a lot of testing now under Linux Mint (my favourite flavour) in a VirtualBox, and it's behaving very nicely (in fact it runs better than it does natively on my mac, but that's another story )

It's not too difficult to build SleepyHead from source code on Linux, which is the main reason Linux users have been a little bit neglected.

SleepyHead can be built from source code graphically using QtCreator. in fact if you pull that from your distros software center, you'll pretty much get the majority of what's required to build sleepyhead source (apart from "git" and "libz" development packages I think).

Thank you, Mark and crew. Geeks rule!

Hi, I'm new to this forum and CPAP and am interested in reading my SD card. I have a System One 560, and a Mac, so the latest SleepyHead software doesn't work. I know there is a patch for Windows but what about Mac? Please, us Mac people need to use this too. Is there a time that I can hope there will be an update/patch for us?
This forum is great - I am almost 30 days into CPAP, using a ResMed Swift FX for H er Nasal cushion Mask. Have been sick much of the time, so things are slow getting adjusted. Reading this forum has given me lots of help.
Thanks

I have some free time so I'll build from source right now. I'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 32bit.

Hmmm.. I thought Jimbo uploaded a couple of test builds for Mac with 60 series patches..? I might not have been paying attention though.

Anyway, there will be an update soon.. for Mac, Linux & Windows users. First got to sort some glitches out.

I now work on Mac as my main development platform, so there is no way in heck I'm gonna let Mac Users down..

Right now there is a hold up with the printing system crashing because of a memory leak Qt bug in Qt libraries on Mountain Lion. I'm trying to find a way around it.

And there is still some font problems on Mac.. Text in the graph areas has been drawing wonky and it's hard to read. Qt bugs again

Just a quick question from a technically challenged person....sounds like you guys are talking a foreign language to me. Will your update fix the doubling up of sessions?

Mark I love Sleepyhead thank you so very much!!

If you're still needing a hand there let me know for sure!!

Yes.

Unfortunately it required pruning some data stored in the ResMed summary system.
This only affects older data, and times when you leave your SDcard out by accident.

Resmed unfortunately didn't do a good job of designing how they stored summary data (making it impossible for me to do a good job working with summary data )

There is still a few display glitches that need sorting out, so the next release will probably focus on Philips Respironics 60 series users (meaning expect a few minor glitches on ResMed still, but that double up madness should be dead and buried)

You may need to start fresh on ResMed to get rid of that stinking double up issue. (I honestly can't remember as I fixed that code a long time ago)

Mark, I compiled from source and it works with my RemStar 60 data. Kudos to you!

Welcome back JediMark! And now you're truly one of the cool people with your Mac. Just sayin.'

Any chance of being able to import oximeter CMS 50F data directly into SH on the Mac? (Don't want you to run out of things to do!)

Thanks for SleepyHead, it does run beautifully on my imac running Snow leopard. Glad you're feeling a little better these days.

Thank you for your work new to it all but learning to use it

I have a mac.
I have an oximeter.

I haven't ever thought of trying that yet. It's been one of those things I've been aching to try together.

I've just got the D+. But at least I can work on the serial code now I have a mac.

Wifey just ordered me one, I have a 50F coming in the post
