Cpu wattage as gauge.

[RoboCop1A]

Trying to make a old retro radio Aida64 panel. Having problems with increments "Min", "Max" numbers to use as the variables. I get different results. Right now "CPU power package "set at min "0" and max "200" and images show. I have changed Max sets at 100, 130, 160, 220, 240, and no matter what it is. The results are off. So I leave it at "200". Wonder what is going wrong.

How many images are you using for the states ?

Up to 16

As you are using 16 images and the meter is set to 130: You will have the needle movement approximately.

In Actual , you are setting a range for example: min 0 max 130 with 16 images, the needle will have the range set of 130/16 = 8.125 so for 0 to 8 watt, the needle movement will be once and it will cover every watt from 0  to 8.

Similarly, for second needle movement the needle will move once; however, it will remain at same point even if the watts are between 8.125 w to 16.25 w

Range				Needle movement / image used
0	8.125			0
8.125	16.25			1
16.25	24.375			2
24.375	32.5			3
32.5	40.625			4
40.625	48.75			5
48.75	56.875			6
56.875	65			7
65	73.125			8
73.125	81.25			9
81.25	89.375			10
89.375	97.5			11
97.5	105.625			12
105.625	113.75			13
113.75	121.875			14
121.875	130			15

I hope I am able to make a point here!

For perfect accurate precision, you need to use 100 states gauges. Its lot of work; however, the end results are awesome. If you want to see an example of 100 state accuracy, you may look at any of my panels I crafted to see the precision for single degree, % , volt, watt etc.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have!

Thanks, so much, will work on this.

Well I did try again, and the results are the same. I have notice you wrote to get "perfect accurate precision, you need to use 100 states gauges". How does a person apply 100 gauges? Is their a link to how?

Tutorial I am not aware and you may search on internet. However, please note that you need to create 100 images for every single unit change and need to apply the following method to achieve the accuracy:

Ah, okay. I get it. Also my label needs fixing. My CPU max power ups to 105W. Intel goes higher. The min-max confuses me, using 0-15 images (pointer).

Higher is always ok. You may set the last Min Max values as

98-113 instead of 98-100

You may use 113 images and design meter in such a way that it goes beyond 100 too ........the example pics u added above

I have encountered a frustrating projects in past, and now I am dealing with a new one. As I play with this "CPU wattage" gauge, realizing, I do not think anyone has made a "CPU power" gauge, as I search internet and here in Aida64 forums. There is no tutorial on making a gauge past 0-15 States (more than one instances). I can understand why. If using more instances, for more states, have to use a blank, and then apply other. So, as a "Sensor Item", the CPU power is (well to me), accurate in numbers. But as a gauge for customs, the results are off, and not easy. I have only made 60 images for now (up to 90 watts), just to test. If I can get up to 120, then I can relax. Feeling I might have to give up on this project, and work on it in future.

Finally, with a frustrating days, was able to fix, adjust the wattage gauge I am working on. Took 9 instances, 130  images. Tested it on a game, never realized 120+ watts out of a power supply to play, then when PC is idle, to about 36 watts. Very interesting and wow.
