  1. Interesting.

     

    I see virtually no difference in CPU temps with Sensor Panel active and with rig at idle (only default Windows applications running).

     

    I see an increase in CPU usage for AIDA64 from fluctuating between .01% and .78% with AIDA64 running without Sensor Panel active, to between .01% and 1.94% with Sensor Panel active.

     

    This is with Update Frequency for Sensor page, Sensor icons, and SensorPanel all set to 100ms.

     

    Not sure if there is any setting other than Update Frequency that would cause higher CPU usage, which generally is what causes higher temps.

    @Arctucas Thanks for the information! I'm a bit confused because I already see the RPM and Flow in Aida64 without me doing anything. In thinking about it, my mobo must be reporting  these somehow that Aida64 is picking it up. So, I really need to get the values reported from my mobo correct. The odd thing is that the value I see in Aida64 is 51 L/H but the Asus tool is reporting 8 L/M (480 L/H)

    According to the chart provided by Alpha, @857 RPM the flow would be ~209 L/H.

     

    I have no clue as to the Flow Sensor reading, perhaps Asus could answer what is happening there? Frankly, I never had faith in any Asus software, but that is just me.

  3. Say you have 1100 rpm when you connect the flow sensor to a fan header.

     

    That would be ~255 L/H.

     

    In AIDA64 you would determine which fan header was reading the flow sensor, Preferences>Correction>New Fan (X), To convert RPM to L/H, (255÷1100 = 0.231....)

    Enter .231 in the ratio field, and you should see 255 value reported by that sensor in Sensor Panel. Then rename the Fan to Flow or whatever.

    Ok that I can help with, one sec. This is a general round loading round tutorial in after effects:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=loading+progress+round+after+effects+tutorial&ei=56uGYdioOJjNytMPlZO1qAg&oq=loading+progress+round+after+effects+tutorial&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQgAEM0COgcIABBHELADSgQIQRgAUMAIWMAIYKISaAFwAngAgAFDiAFDkgEBMZgBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiYuM7kkoT0AhWYpnIEHZVJDYUQ4dUDCA4&uact=5#kpvalbx=_76uGYeK0N_6DytMP3IeLGA24

    One little tip for tutorials always make them your own: your own colors your own sizes shapes etc just so it doesnt look like that exact tutorial which if you look closer is how many many of these sensorpanels on these forums were made using this exacxt tutorial b/c the people that did the tutorial didnt change anything about the loading round so it literally looks identical to some of the rounds i've seen on here recently aside from maybe the colors. So just try and make it yours when you do it otherwise its going to look like you copied someone elses sensorpanel on here even though they also copied that tutorial lol...

    This is a tutorial for a progress loading bar in after effects... https://www.google.com/search?q=loading+progress+rounds+after+effects+tutorial&oq=loading+progress+rounds+after+effects+tutorial&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i299.7787j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_56uGYdioOJjNytMPlZO1qAg31

    These two are generally what youre going to see in most setups unless they do a really detailed animation with multiple moving parts which is absolutely not easy inside of 15 frames which is why you rarely see anything else but these lol.

    You may also need this just for learning basic keyframes, which is literally sort of how ae or vegas animation works.https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+set+keyframes+in+after+effects&oq=how+to+set+keyframes+in+&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i512l8.3255j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    If you need any help with the rendering settings I can come back and post a tutorial for that also if you need it, or you can look up how to render in after effects with png sequence.

    Thanks. That is a bit overwhelming, though.

     

    A bit more than I can do, I am afraid, never learned any of the programming.

    I just need a quick and dirty way to create a 150° arc (or would it be 160°?), divide it into 15 segments of 10°, colorize each segment, save each as .png file (with one transparent outline only for zero state) for a total of 16 .png files to replace stock gauges.


    Probably not doable for me, given my lack of skill.

     

    Thanks again.

    Just a tip actual vfx software(software made for animations) is much better for shape manipulation. Anyone who says different has no idea what they are talking about. All adobe software can be trialed for 1 month no issues and if you like it go on aliexpress or ebay and buy a year for a few dollars. Its that simple and it costs less than 5$. You really cant beat it. You can get the master collection for 20$ or less so yeah it may be possible to do in GIMP or an online photoshop but its not going to be easy thats for sure as those software werent designed with animation or moving shapes images etc in mind. They were designed to edit stills, even if they do have gif editing capabilites. So after effects or sony vegas these "loading rounds" that are extremely extravagant can be created and rendered inside of 5 minutes. Just b/c its what the software was built to do. 

     

    OK, but I still need tutorial.

  6. Something new?

     

    Had a notification that I earned a new badge. Starting checking it out.

     

    Got one for one week and one month, been a member since 2010.

     

    EDIT: Just got one for starting a conversation ...

    I do not have GIMP. I suggest checking out tutorials on YouTube, Google, and possibly GIMP have their own user forums, unless someone else here uses GIMP and wants to donate their time.

     

     

    What application is it that you use?

    Photoshop or GIMP (closest free software) for image creation.

    It's 16 images, not 15 (numbered from 0-15, not 1-15).

     

    Right 16, my mistake.

    OK, installed GIMP.

    Found a 120° arc .png file.

    I need to divide the arc into 16 equal pieces, correct?

    Then assign a color to each?

    How?

  9. Re-reading my post, I suppose I should have been more explicit.

    I know how to use the default sensor panel, I need guidance with creating custom gauges. Not really interested in graphs.

    I would like to create simple arc style gauges, with 120° of arc. I understand I need 15 of these as .png files to replace the default gauges. I would not be doing a 'panel' background, just replacing the default gauges.

     

    What software would I use to create the arcs, and how would I manipulate the color gradient?

    Also, how would the values be inserted into the gauge .png?

  10. Been wanting to try making a custom sensor panel, looking to use a 13 inch 2K screen to view it on.

    Is there an in-depth tutorial?

     

    I must say, I have zero experience with this sort of thing, so the instructions would need to be extremely detailed.

    Thanks
