SteelSeries Gauges - version 1.0

[mcrossley]

I have now released version 0.8.4 which adds a Stop Watch component.
Just a thought, if anyone is downloading the library directly from github, it may be worth considering downloading the un-minified source and removing the components you do not intend to use, then minifying that file. The library is growing in size and even the minified version of the full library is moving towards 200KB in size. Just leave all the common functions towards the end of the file in place.

Edit: I have noticed a couple of minor cosmetic issues and lap time gotchas with teh Stop Watch in the currrent release, expect 0.8.5 soon to fix those.

Mark, sorry for the late reply - on Saturday, I started installing the operating software/system (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) on the first of 3 new computers (I need to replace 4 'antique' and slow computers) - I am up to the third 'fresh' installation of the operating software on the same computer - for some unknown reasons I have not yet isolated, Windows starts to give errors while installing recommended updates from Microsoft - even without all the programs I would like to use, this new installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit has already 'frozen' the computer 3 times - not very encouraging considering that my 'old' personal computer has been running with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit for more than a year without any problem...

Anyway, getting back to the gauges... You are putting a lot of time and work in this continued development - bravo for the 'beautiful' work. I have downloaded the latest release from the GitHub and will try to make some time (between software re-installations) to personally 'evaluate' all the efforts you have and are putting in the development of the gauges.

Hi There,

What do I need to change in the code to swap my 'default' wind direction guage for one of the ones on here:

Wait for the next release?

Wait for the next release?

Ah, I thought there was a way to use the different styles (linear) etc already just by changing something in the code somewhere

[mcrossley]

There is, but to use the new Wind Direction gauge you will have to make quite a few changes, and a new version of the gauge library.

Ok, will look forward to it, hopefully next item IS something I can change

How do you adjust the thickness of the frame/ring?

[mcrossley]

You can't change the frame width I'm afraid, it is fixed. Though you can hide it completely.

Mark, took some time off the computer setup to play around with the gauges...

After a bit a guess work, I have modified both the rain and the rain-rate gauges and I have added the clock... Tzouhalem-Maple Bay - SteelSeries

It might not be perrrrfect but I am trying...

[mcrossley]

Looking like a good start Ray. The clock displays my local time, if you want it to display the station time then there is a bit more work to do, setting the timezone offset *may* fix it - I haven't actually tested that feature

[mcrossley]

I was thinking of adding custom gradients to the bargraph (radial & linear) colour options, so you could then have a solid colour, section colours, or a continuous colour changes like the image below. I have it working, but is it worth adding, or is it just getting too gaudy?!

The clock displays my local time...

But, but... on my computer the clock was displaying my local time...

Mark, how about adding something to the clock sub-routine, such as a timezone variable maybe (or something similar) which would force the clock to display the time of the server where the page was downloaded...

Mark, I like both the solid colour as well as the continuous colour changes for the gauges ... as long as it is an option that can be turned on/off. What would be even better would be an option to control individual gauges...

By default the clock displays your local time, it does have provision for specifying a TZ offset.

It *may* have this already, but I'll look into it - TZ's are my nightmare, handling them can be complex

But of course all those options are/will continue to be available!

Is it possible with the current setup to have one gauge showing the outside temperature and a separate gauge showing the inside temperature?
