  1. How about this one? You can import this one into your Turing layout too: https://download.aida64.com/SensorPanelCoreWide.zip https://www.aida64.com/user-manual/sensorpanel/sensorpanel-core-template
  2. Internally, we were debating on whether the background image update would be -- as you suggested -- possible only on demand, by e.g. pressing an "Update Image" button. But we ultimately went for a less confusing and more automatized solution and just implemented the 30-second delay between image updates. Since the VU1 framework on itself also has a built-in protection about updating the e-ink with the same image, this solution IMHO is safe enough to prevent major issues to happen. The only inconvenience is that during the VU1 layout design process you can see the changes you make with a bit of a delay. But fortunately on the LCD layout preview (in AIDA64 Preferences) you can see what changes, so IMHO it's okay this way, and it's not too much of a compromise.
  3. Hi Darius, You can acquire a license in our Online Store at: https://www.aida64.com/online-store Regards, Fiery
  4. I apologize for the late response. We've just rolled out VU1 dial support in the latest AIDA64 beta build. Please check the following forum topic and use it for further discussion on all things VU1
  5. Thank you for your feedback! We'll expand the number of supported VU1 dials from four to eight in the next AIDA64 beta update. I personally would feel more comfortable about frequent e-ink updates only after discussing this matter with the project owner.
  6. I apologize for not responding to your now -- I admit -- quite old topic. And no, you haven't done anything wrong, but we simply ran out of development resources last year and couldn't take on such projects that didn't attract a wide range of users of AIDA64. Fortunately in the 2nd half of 2024 we managed to expand and optimize our development team in order to take on a variety of new and old projects.

    The beta channel of AIDA64 will soon migrate to a brand new AIDA64 version that will support Unicode characters. I assume that will solve this issue too. Make sure to enable automatic updates to beta builds in AIDA64 / Preferences / General / NetUpdate / Update type / Stable and beta updates.
  8. No, what I meant is to do away with the current way of switching between pixel strides: you currently left-click on the "1 px" (or "2 px", etc) button in the SensorPanel Manager to cycle through the pixel stride options. We can either keep that behavior and add a right-click context menu, or simply get rid of the cycling through pixel strides with left-click and instead show the context menu when you do a left-click (instead of right-click).
  9. Thank you for your feedback. We definitely don't wanna remove the keyboard navigation, especially because we're investing more and more energy into improving the accessibility aspects of AIDA64. Right-click context menu is coming your way in the next build Related to that: do you guys think we should do away with the normal click (left-click) behavior and display the context menu with left click too? It would mean that you couldn't cycle through the various strides, but instead would always have to use the drop-down menu to select the stride.
  10. We'll temporarily suspend the always-on-top behavior of the SensorPanel while the SensorPanel Grid and SensorPanel Manager windows are open to prevent those smaller windows getting "tuck away" under the SensorPanel window.
  11. Quite frankly, I'd prefer to find a solution without using 2 such navigation blocks. IMHO two seemingly similar blocks would confuse novice SensorPanel users as well as would make keyboard based navigation requiring an unnecessary learning curve. Instead, how about a right-click menu on the pixel selection button where you can easily choose you preferred stride? If you reckon that would work, please provide us a comprehensive list of stride variations to include in the list. Would e.g. 1px, 5px, 10px, 20px, 50px, 100px, 150px, 200px be sufficient?
  12. Thank you for your feedback!
  13. It looks great! Thank you for your feedback. And yes, we're aware of the fact that the VU1 Server only updates the background image when it changes, but when you fiddle around with the layout, every small change (like trying a different text size, switching the icon on or off) would generate a new background image that the VU1 Server will consider a new image and so would update the display.
  14. It may open behind the SensorPanel window in case you have Keep SensorPanel the topmost window (always on top) enabled for the SensorPanel. We'll fix that issue in the next AIDA64 beta update.
  15. The dump indicates that AIDA64 couldn't load its kernel driver for some reason. Do you have it (AIDA64) properly installed?
  16. Thank you, I've sent you an email about this matter.
  17. We cannot really do much about a device that has a slow screen update rate.
  18. You can activate it from the right-click context menu on the SensorPanel, or by pressing Ctrl+G on the SensorPanel. You can adjust the properties of the grid in the right-click context menu on the SensorPanel
  19. Thank you for your feedback. I forgot to mention that the grid density value (in pixels) will not scale with DPI. This is a deliberate choice on our part to offer one-pixel precision grid display.
  20. @kirtangl @osxdude You can check the VU Dials LCD module in the latest AIDA64 beta update: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta Please note that it has a few limitations: 1) The icons design aren't finalized just yet. Please also let us know if you'd prefer 24x24 pixel icons (that we currently use) or larger ones. The VU1 Demo Application uses 30x30 pixel icons for example. 2) Currently up to four VU1 devices are supported. Let us know if you have more devices daisy-chained in your setup. 3) Only one LCD page is supported per device. It's due to the issue of slow background image update as well as due to our concerns of shortening the lifespan of the e-ink display. So in effect you need to use each VU1 device for a single indicator. 4) Since this is a special kind of LCD device (as managed internally by AIDA64), you can only place a single item on the LCD layout. That single item will handle everything: the behavior of the needle, the background image (including the icon, label, unit, and scale) displayed on the dial, and the backlight (RGB) configuration as well. 5) The background image is only updated twice a minute. This is due to our concerns of shortening the lifespan of the e-ink display. We've tried to get in touch with the developer of VU1 (Sasa Karanovic) to discuss our concerns with him. We've tried to contact him on multiple channels without luck so far though. 6) At exit AIDA64 doesn't blank (clear) the background image on the dial. This is once again, due to our concerns of shortening the lifespan of the e-ink display. AIDA64 will however return the needle to the left-most (zero) position and switches the backlight off.
  21. It's been implemented in the latest AIDA64 beta update available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta We've also increased the maximum image size that can be transferred without slicing it up to multiple pieces. That will allow you to build more complex layouts without having to live with the flickering artifact.
  22. It's just been rolled out: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works.
  23. Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps.
