Control a video with RPM?

Dashboard Design Help, tips and tricks

This thread is originally about controlling a video gauge via speed. Your question about intro I believe is answered in another thread.

If you want video on app start up. It wonā€™t play on app turn off.

Now for video on key turn instead. Use the same triggers and actions as mentioned but 2 issues. One your video will play but itā€™ll stay on the screen so if itā€™s full screen it wonā€™t show whatā€™s behind it. Youā€™ll have to add a fade in and out action.

Secondly youā€™d need to decide input for it reading. Using voltage would be my suggestion. Once battery voltage is above 0 play video gauge and fade out at same time. When battery voltage equals zero again fade in and play

hi can u help me regarding this
so basically i want to create a video that goes with the rpm of the car, with the rpm increases the video goes forward and goes back with the lowering.

example Javi PiƱa on Instagram: "Por peticiĆ³n popular... šŸ˜œ #toyota #supra #supramk4 #supranation #2jz #jdm #hentai #realdash #linkecu #pugsparked"

Currently this can only be implemented as triggering the animation to be visible when RPM goes above certain limit and triggering another animation when it goes below.

@Frankydap Iā€™m trying to do something similar, did you end up figuring it out?

Hey @realdashdev, Iā€™m quite new to this. I tried following what you said and hereā€™s what I did:

  1. I had a gif, I converted the gif to a zip file of pngs (each representing a frame) - so basically sprite animation
  2. I went and created 23 image gauges and imported each one of the images into a gauges - named them Frame 1 through Frame 23
  3. I went and created a trigger for each, so trigger 4500-4600 is basically when the engine RPM is more than 4500 and lesser than 4600 then I trigger an action ā€œShow Gaugeā€ and show frame 1

I did it this way so that when the RPM is dropping, the video can play backwards.

It does the job but I need to set another set of triggers so it hides the gauges when thereā€™s not in that RPM range. It does the job but oh boy is a whole lot of clicks to set this up. Is there a faster/easier way to do this that Iā€™m unaware of?

Thanks!

Hi. there is no such way at this stage.

Thanks a bunch. I used Keyboard Maestro and quickly set up automation to do it for all frames. I finally got it done, Iā€™d post it here but itā€™s very NSFW lol.

Cheers!

Iā€™m a little confused about what youā€™re talking about. Could you please demonstrate your work?
