Default Gauge Scale

Hi all,
I've looked at the code a few times, but not sure where to start.
Would like my gauges to default to a range of 0-40°C instead of -10 as the starting point.
We do see -5 t0 -10 in Winter, so would need to auto rescale then, but can anyone give me a rough idea of which lines will let me set 0°C as the default gauge minimum.
Thanks
Phil.

Phil, is this on the MX interface, or the web page?

For MX, ..../CumlusMX/interface/lib/steelseries/scripts/gauges.js
Line 106+

Thanks Mark,
Primarily the web page, and that's around where I looked.
Code: Select all
// default gauge ranges - before auto-scaling/ranging
tempScaleDefMinC : -20,
tempScaleDefMaxC : 40,
Probably got confused a little by the fact that -20 was specified, yet my gauge showed -10.
Interesting though that both web & interface code contains -20 as default,
yet the web page gauge is starting at -10 & the interface at -20.
If I've explained it so it makes sense.
Or maybe I'm confused cause I may have previously edited the file.
Phil

I can't check as I'm not at home at the moment, but I suspect it may be a "niceScale" thing that is altering the scale to a range of 50. The gauges on my web page go from -20 to 40 though.
A link to your page?...

Thanks Mark,
I have managed to get it to scale from 0 to 40 by changing "tempScaleDefMaxC" on line 107 of gauges.js
Noticed later though that the gauge had rescaled it's self to 0-50.
Presume that was done by what's down around line 829.
Code: Select all
//auto scale the ranges
scaleStep = data.tempunit[1] === 'C' ? 5 : 20;
while (cache.lowScale < cache.minValue) {
cache.minValue -= scaleStep;
if (cache.highScale <= cache.maxValue - scaleStep) {
cache.maxValue -= scaleStep;
}
}
while (cache.highScale > cache.maxValue) {
cache.maxValue += scaleStep;
if (cache.minValue >= cache.minValue + scaleStep) {
cache.minValue += scaleStep;
}
}
if (cache.minValue !== ssGauge.getMinValue() || cache.maxValue !== ssGauge.getMaxValue()) {
ssGauge.setMinValue(cache.minValue);
ssGauge.setMaxValue(cache.maxValue);
ssGauge.setValue(cache.minValue);
}
if (cache.selected === 'out') {
cache.areas = [steelseries.Section(+cache.low, +cache.high, gaugeGlobals.minMaxArea)];
} else {
cache.areas = [];
}
Not at all a Java programmer, but am assuming that the rescaling is based on the maximum temp & it may have happened once we hit 30 today.
Presume also that it stays scaled that way for the rest of the day.
Changed the value here from 10 to 5, but think it's still observing todays maximum & rescaling the 40 up to 45.
Code: Select all
scaleStep = data.tempunit[1] === 'C' ? 5 : 20;
My site is in my signature.
Cheers
Phil.

It should only re-scale when the current value exceeds the current scale limits, so hitting 30 shouldn't have done that.
I'd need to examine what the code on your site is doing - maybe I'll have time this evening. Meantime - are you running the latest version of the gauges script?

Still on Cumulus 3041 & "Scripts by Mark Crossley - version 2.5.5"
Got a little lost on how exactly to upgrade the steel script stuff.
I did download it from Github a while back but was not sure how to proceed from there.

Noticed the gauge returned to the 0-40 scale this morning, presuming at the 9:00am rollover.
Have since noticed it's rescaled to 0-45°C.
I did change the scaleStep to 5 yesterday.
Code: Select all
//auto scale the ranges
scaleStep = data.tempunit[1] === 'C' ? 5 : 20;
Phil.
Edit:-
Now it's scaled back to 0-40°C.
Bit lost on what's triggering it.

Don't think it's relevant. Not sure, as I'm seeing 0-45.

OK, the scales of the "temperature" and "dew/apparent/.." gauges are linked, so they show the same range. If the Apparent temp goes over 40 then both gauges will rescale. During thr day your apparent temperature is quite a bit higher than your actual temperature I suspect?
