Well, going to see if I can successfully flash the firmware on my BeadaPanel. It will allow me to display not only Aida64, but the desktop as well. Not as straight forward as flashing most other PC devices that is for sure.

Has anyone here done it? I have a question. The instructions say to short out a pair of jumpers using tweezers or a wire while powered on. I am not certain if I am supposed to just 'momentarily' short the jumper, or it must remain shorted during the flashing process.

Hope I dont brick it. LOL

EDIT:

Well, flash went well. And yes, J2-1 and J2-2 must remain shorted during process. Instructions indicate to power up display prior to shorting jumpers. Dont power up first. Short J2-1 and J2-2 prior to powering up the display. Otherwise you will have to unplug it and power it up again anyways.

I havent installed the Windows driver yet. That looks to be a project in itself. Does not look like fun.

Wow. Looks great. I really like your original gauges and designs. Great work and thanks for sharing. I wish my display wasnt an odd-ball resolution (1280X480 BeadaPanel). I have to modify most panels to work. Not complaining. I envy your graphical skills and creativity, and that of some others here.

I realize there is a lot of work that goes into creating a panel. I have created several but none as creative as yours. Anything really cool I have made has been bits and pieces of different submitted panels that others have created.

Thank you very kindly for your submissions. I wish I had the talent to produce such panels. So I am grateful there are still a few members here that will share their work.

“backlight = 0” in hardware section does not mean to shut off power supply of USB port, in fact it means to set backlight level of LCD screen to zero.

Yes, I know it is not meant to shut USB power off. What I was saying is that my USB ports dont power down when system shut down, so display stays on. That is why I was asking about how to make the display power down at shut down.

I thought your instructions set the display to do so. With 'backlight  = 0', it does nothing different. Display stays active when PC shut off.

[Beada and Standby]

Hi. I am having this issue as well. Display doesnt power off with PC. There is no setting in BIOS to kill power to USB ports when PC shuts off. I checked my animation.ini file and it appears mine is already set to '0'. But it still doesnt power off.

BeadaPanel can work with Windows as a secondary monitor since firmware v7.00. Take a look at Youtube

Hey thanks. I didnt know that.

How do I tell what firmware I have and how can I update it? I have the BeadaPanel 6.8" LCD Display for AIDA64 - USB Single Cable Monitor - WinUSB SDK.

just curious on how most of you do your custom guages, what program do you use or like. 

 

Custom gauges can be made with most any graphics editing software including Windows Paint.

How elaborate the gauges are depends on the software used, your skills, and most of all, your imagination.

Basically what you need to do is design your gauge and then make 15 copies of it in different states.

When adding a Custom gauge, select Custom from Type. Then select States. Apply a gauge to each state.

Hi everyone.  I am new to the forums and hope all of you are well

My question is when you guys are kind enough to provide download links for your sensor panel designs what type of file format are these in please.

The reason I am asking is that my system for some unknown reason seems to want to open the files as PDF's !!  I know this is wrong.

Go to Aida64 Preferences - LCD. Select your display. Then go to LCD Items and click the Import button. When importing a panel, change Files of Type to All Files so it shows all files in folder.

The file can be in several different formats. PDF isnt one of them. Select the sensor panel file regardless if the file extension is for your panel or not. Depending on the file type and the panel you are using, some features may or may not work.

Take my panel for example. It is a USB BeadaPanel. There is no Windows driver, but comes with a SDK so it works with Aida64. I cant have active wall paper, animated gifs, display the desktop, or display other programs on it. Only what Aida64 can send to it.

Hope that helps

Great work. Really liking your submissions. Original. This is one of my favorites you have done.

I would love to see what else you can do with this background. If you do decide to revisit it, 1280X480 would be cool.

Keep up the great work.

First attempt at a custom panel for 1920x480 barrow display in portrait mode (please be gentle!).  Design based to complement the Gigabyte motherboard. Not overclocking, so more interested in temps, fan speeds and how much drive space I've got! Now I've got a panel, I don't think I could go back to not having one - its so useful for checking on things whether working or playing! Next step is to make CPU pump green at the top of the scale rather than red!

Very nice. Any chance of sharing it?

No offense to the great creators in this thread that have contributed.

A shitty part of all this thievery I can see coming, is an influx of Photoshop Warriors posting panels that dont exist. Not posting the file on the grounds of copyright.

I have made panels myself, and modded panels downloaded from this thread. Either way, it involves a lot of work in some cases. This is why I really appreciate the work a lot of people have submitted here. I know what kind of time and effort goes into creating one. I have the time, but not near the artistic creativity some have displayed here.

I am very grateful to Exhumed and countless others for their outstanding contributions. I have only submitted one original panel of my own. I have to admit, I have butchered panels and taken elements from one and adding to another. But this was also for personal use in my home. If I had posted it anywhere, I gave credit to the original creators as far as I could trace back.

Come on Exhumed, Wondersquid, MrMike, Operbico, and you others, throw us graphically challenged a few bones once in a while. I would like to mention a few names of some of the great contributors to this thread, but afraid I would miss a few. You guys know who you are.

I was just seeing if there was any other profit sites for sensor panels but i found one that looks well put together but it is good.  As i don't really see any from our post that are listed it looks like the guy has been making his own and selling not only panels with brackets but with some premade sensors of his own.   Here check out what is on the site if you see anything that is yours let us know.

This is why I no longer share my work....It's so easy to just edit someone's work, but you'll spend days doing an original design... It's funny. Someone else uses your work for profit...

This is not right by any means. I feel for ya. Pisses me off to no extent. I am very grateful to all the submissions. I have used several panels and mixed and matched a few. But I give credit to original poster(s). That is the way it was intended, I think. Some ass-clown always has to ruin things for others.

Spam their site with messages of copyright infringement (likely no copyright) and thievery. Direct people to this forum where they are free to SHARE AND USE FOR PERSONAL USE.

My first attempt with the BeadaPanel. The background is some wallpaper I found on the net and resized it to 1280X480.

Made a sensor panel way back in the day with Everest when Battlefield 2 was in its hayday. Trying to find a screenshot of it.

You can just configure the BeadaPanel to have a brightness of 0 when it's in screen saver mode. Config tool is here - https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArGfiTxjUGUl_SJ6Kq2Ta46Tkxlj?e=EQBdgh

Hey, thanks. I used the tool and accessed the 'Console' folder on the BeadaPanel. There is no 'anitmaion.ini' or animation.ini file. The only files are :

animation.sh

animation-backlight-off.sh

animation-rotate-180.sh

Readme.txt

 

Also, can I simply replace the video and pictures in the folders with any pictures or video as long as I dont exceed the 3GB storage space?

Oh, I will absolutely give credit. I figured out how to import, y’all make some awesome panels!!! (And have much more artistic ability than me!) I should’ve been more clear about my issue. 
 

The display I have in my PC is 480x800. A lot of these vertical panels are a larger resolution, so they get cropped off. Is there an easy way for me to resize (for example a 600x1000 panel) down to 480x800?

My display is 1280X480. Hard to find panels in that resolution. So I resize the background in MS Paint or whatever app you want. Sometimes you have to uncheck 'maintain aspect ratio' to get the right size. This will distort (pinch and/or stretch) the image somewhat.

Hey y'all, I'm super new to this sensor panel thing. Is there a way to take another panel's design and resize it completely for a different monitor? I'm having trouble getting some to fit on my 480x800

Yes, but please give credit to original author/artist. Several here including myself have. I am not as artistically gifted as a few here.

Import the file into your display in Aida64. Dont worry about file type.

Go to Aida64 install folder and there will be a folder for your display. Typically; C:\Program Files (x86)\FinalWire\AIDA64 Extreme. Those files will be in there.

Agh, thanks will give that a go.

do I need to do anything to match resolutions?

Yes. You will have to resize the background to that of your display at the least. You might lose aspect ratio. End result could look stretched or pinched.

Ive tweaked my panel a bit this week   as my new monitor eats up this GPU @3840 2160 144hz

Nice panel, I really like it.

The reason I went with a Beadapanel for a sensor display is because it is 100% USB. Not as versatile as a monitor, but there is no connection to graphics card/chip, so no hit on graphics power/gaming.

It is a bit of a pain because it doesnt power down with my PC at shut down. I have to unplug it if I want it off. Otherwise, it goes into a screen saver mode at shut down. No setting in my BIOS to power off USB at shut down (Strix Z490-A). But very crisp and bright 1280X480 display.
