RoboCop1A Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surjeet Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 How many images are you using for the states ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CPU max power ups to 105W. Intel goes higher. The min-max confuses me, using 0-15 images (pointer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboCop1A Posted October 18 Author Share Posted October 18 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.

RoboCop1A Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 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.
