Help with Cruise indicators

Dashboard Design
1

I have two images, one for when the cruise is active, one for when cruise is set.

If cruise is not active, the active icon should be one color (like an indicator that is off). When active I just want to turn the color green.

When set the active icon should disappear, and the cruise set image (indicator) gets displayed and is green.

The cruise set speed should be cyan when not active and green when cruise is set

I just don’t know how to do any of this. I have the indicator on the dash, but how do I modify them based on inputs?

thanks

Any gauge can operate in 3 different levels:

  • Normal
  • Warning
  • Critical

Each level has their own settings for color etc. So:

  • Make an Image Gauge
  • Attach it to your desired input
  • Put your icon into it
  • Adjust image blend color for
    • normal (gray or invisible)
    • warning (cyan)
    • critical (green)

See these (old but valid) videos to understand gauge levels:

Today I send my cruise state following the unique targetIDs in the custom XML. That means that there is a different input for each state, active, set, accel, decel.

I don’t see a way to change the level of the gauge based on different input values.

I could easily just send the state all in the same input if that is better. for example.

CruiseControl = “off | on | set”, 0 1 ,2 doesn’t really matter to me.

I just saw the different targetIDs in the custom XML and followed that.

Suggestions?

thanks

If you absolutely must use different inputs for each state, just make multiple indicators which are stacked on top of each other.
