SteelSeries Gauges - version 1.0

[beteljuice]

Really like the new wind direction gauge - hurry up!

Ah - but you don't know what it does yet

... and there are all sorts of possibilities which may or may not happen

That's what makes it so much fun!

We just have to wait until Mark travels to some where boring and has hotel time!

The SteelSeries gauges have officially been handed over to me by Gerrit to maintain and develop from now on. There is quite a bit of work to do, as the gauges consist of much more than we are using here. I'm making lots of little improvements, but it may mean that work on this weather page implementation may slow down a little.

Well Done - You have been !

[mcrossley]

You are probably right beteljuice. I have just released version 0.8.0 of the library on github, 6201 line additions, and 2085 line deletions from v0.7.3

Now to concentrate on your little project ...

I couldn't leave the gauge library alone, I've added a Battery gauge. Is it worth adding this to the template, it will mainly be of use to Davis and WMR owners as no one has found a way of reporting the FO battery status
Obviously it would be scaled down for the gauge page.

hi mark,
That Is cool Beau

Ah! For sure! HE (meaning Mark, who else! ) has to add his own 'toys' to what used to be 'serious' gauges...

You do realise that with this new battery 'thing' you will also have to figure a way to read the (portable) computer battery level...

Ray, I leave everything not in the supplied demo page for the user to figure out That should be half the fun!

For anyone inclined to experiment, I have now added section support to the SteelSeries-Canvas library, so you can have multi-coloured Bargraphs...

I have also created a Google+ page for the library

I just start using Cumulus with SteelSeries Gauges and oregon WMR200. Guys GREAT Job – every thing works fine! Now I try to prepare Polish language version. When I finish I will post it here.

Hi George, you already have the link, but Google+ pages have a fairly restricted format. I can only put links on the About page.

Got it!

Just the last place I would look - way to go google - well, perhaps it is a good thing to be out of view.

Now the fun begins. It is like having a new sandbox - first thing is messing it up.
