A well as directing the readings to the dashboard, I also log them on a local MySQL dB and send them to Clarify so I can inspect them with their interactive graphing tools and viewer.
But (sorry) I am wanting to try and optimise the gauges.
Alas yours are very different ranges so can't be combined as is.
But say you multiplied the current by 100, then you would have two with similar ranges
Then you put them both on one gauge showing their values.
Kind of like a speedometer is on a car.
Or, hands on a clock.
But then you halve the screen space needed/used.
Again: screen real estate is kinda limited.
But I'll keep it in mind.
All this is new to me and I haven't yet got a full picture of what/how I want to display it.
But couldn't really think about this until I got a working set of readings.
(Catch 22)
I know there are other graph ones like the LED STRIP one and a couple of other gauges but they don't allow/have/give you the option of merging two indicators into one range.
Note: In my flow I've 'engineered' the current and wattage gauges to have dynamic ranges.
Here's part of one of the function nodes that changes the 'min' 'max' values on a guage.
var current = flow.get("current") || 1.0;
var power = voltage * current;
power = power.toFixed(0);
if (power > 10000) {
max = 20000;
min = 10000;
}
else if (power > 9000) {
max = 10000;
min = 9000;
}
else if (power > 8000) {
max = 9000;
min = 8000;
}
else if (power > 7000) {
max = 8000;
min = 7000;
I hear that multi pointer gauges are mentioned - which is good.
But quickly going through the video it kinda frightens me with all the CSS/HTML stuff.
Ok, they are hidden behind the scenes and not really of importance if I try to stratify how I look at it.
