GREAT JOB btw!

If just reads the temp label data from Road Runner, configured in RRConfig. You may be able to get them to read other stuff with Road Runners variables but guino or one of the more experienced skin guys here would know more about that than me.

This is grate

But I use feet in the altitude gauge

I changed this for ft
gpsalt="271 ft
tmpstr.slice(0,length(tmpstr) - 3)

I changed this to scale it up
alt_tmp = alt_tmp plus 300;
alt_tmp = alt_tmp /3;

But I need some way to round it out – I think

Any help would help

Here is my file I am working on

Swishmax has a rounding function, I think this is how you use it but I didn’t test

Math.round(alt_tmp)

So if alt_tmp = 375.543
The function will strip the .543 off

Is that what you wanted?

THX asgrovered

that seem to do the trick

What kind of cpu usage are you guys getting with a full screen of gauges?

I've got speedo, alt, cpu, compass, sat strength in a CFX skin and get about 45-50% usage on a 850mhz laptop, SP2.

Thanks for the great gauges!!!!

Mine is only a Celeron 1.1 at the moment & gets around 55-65% with 5-6 gauges.

Improved your speed gauge and combined it with the compass....
Also used a VW logo... so its a vw speedo...but my touchscreen is wrecked so i dont have a carputer to test right now ....would somebody plz test this for me???

Edit: http://www.mobile-effects.com/downlo...lashSpeedo.rar

removed the needle and replaced it with a nice bar....

hopefully someone will test it....so i could post the source swi

and thx to mobilefx for hosting...

Edit2: Tested it myself with the laptop running through the garden....it works...but will post no src since nobody helped me....

I have 3 gauges at 300 x 300 and it would stop RR from running in its tracks as soon as I opened the skin – too high cpu

So I just set the frame rate from 15 fps to 2 fps and now it only runs the cpu up to 28

After all RR only updates the info 1 time a second so why have 15 fps if you don’t need it

550 mhz cpu

Ok this is looking better everyday, now for a big question..........

Can these gauges read their data from an external sensor, IE a pic on a comport ?

I started writing some pic code for a pic to read digital/analog values and spit them back serial, now I can either have them spit back every second, on on a request, and they can be stacked to create more inputs.....

So, its nearly all the way to a digital dash.......

Imagine the skin above with engine temp, oil pressure, rpm etc
.
format of the data would be

Pic would be polled with (MPS_AR) for board 'A' or (MPS_BR) if it was board 'B' (26 boards possible)

'MPS_A_snsr01'+chr(0-255 analog value)CRLF
'MPS_A_snsr02'+chr(0-255 analog value)CRLF
'MPS_A_snsr03'+chr(0-255 analog value)CRLF
'MPS_A_snsr04'+chr(0-255 analog value)CRLF

OR if you wanted to read digital inputs
