Cumulus Support

Last night I knocked up this 'odometer' type counter. Eventually it may find its way into the SteelSeries gauges as an alternative to the LCD panel, but for now it's just a standalone object. Someone may find a use for it on their web page, I just created it as an exercise with no real use in mind.

A demo page can be found here:

The odometer has now been incorporated into the SteelSeries library as a separate component, and as an option to the LCD display on the Radial gauge.

Oh! I can see it now... an anemometer odometer to monitor the anemometer kilometers...

Any guidelines to incorporate the odometer in the windspeed gauge? I'm thinking windrun. Will I need to update steelseries.js from 0.9.17 - Cumulus Specific Version?

Is it just a matter of adding:

useOdometer: true,
odometerParams: {digits: 5, value: odoValue}

to the gauge initialization.

Basically yes. Though you will not have an "odoValue" when the gauge is first drawn so you do not need that - it will default to zero.

When (very soon) I release v1.6.5 of the scripts that will have the 'cutdown' SS library that incorporates the odometer. If you want to try this before that, then you will have to use the current build of the full library - 0.11.1

You will need to add a couple of more pieces:
- Add the windrun tag to the realtimegaugesT.txt file: "windrun":"<#windrun>",
- Add gauge_wind.setOdoValue(data.windrun) to the doWind() function

That would be a potential weather use yes, that is what George is suggesting too.

Here is an example of what a radial gauge with odometer should look like

Ah! Yes Mark, I for one, reckon that looks pretty slick...

OK - windrun implemented - but still with static data - station is still down until 2 April.

I now need French, Dutch, German, Spanish, and Catalan translations for "Windrun" - anybody?

Version 1.6.5 is now available

Did the odometer make 1.6.5

Yes, it should be in the cut down library I supply in the zip. Is it not working?

I haven't tried it - there was no mention in the "change" list - so I thought I would ask before I downloaded.

Well, the odometer works.
I needed a few minutes to realise #windrun was missing from realtimegaugesT.txt but is all good now.

Well done Graeme, maybe I should add a unit string for the odometer as well.

I was thinking maybe a "Windrun" label underneath the odometer would be a nice touch.
