VIRB Edit Windows Gauges with fixed min-max range values

Gauges with fixed min-max range values

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello Garmin developers,

i have a problem with the min/max range of gauges.
I want to fix the minimum and maximum of the gauge, ie for a speedo, the min value should be 0 km/h and the max 250, and for the rpm 0 to 8000.
As far as I checked out now, Virb edtit calulates the value for itself depending of the actual min/max value in the recorded time, that looks poor because the gauge looks always different.
Is there a way to modify this?

thanks

Chris

I am afraid not. At least not at this time.

Dear Falagar,

I played around with the gauge Builder and realized that the Manipulation Values "minValue" and "maxValue" only affect the settings of the "DynamicRotate" objects, but not the "DynamicRadialClip" objects nor the "autotextype" settings.

This allows to built a gauge with a self-designed scale and a fixed min-max range. On the scale the descriptions has to be made by your own - not with "autotexttype".

May by in one of the next updates you can expand the "minValue" and "maxValue" option also on autotexttype and DynamicRadialClips.

Add "minValue" and "maxValue" to the the root of the widget json. All the manipulations and interval markings should respect it.
These are also fields you can set on group components so they affect a portion of the widget instead of the whole widget (in case you also display auxiliary data).

Dear russelmi,

can you provide me with some more info?
Where do I find the json widget (in which folder)?

What do you mean with set this on group components?

Thanks for your support.

Click the "Advanced Editing" button. This should open the json file representing the gauge in a text editor. You'll need to be a little familiar with json. At the root of the json, add minValue and maxValue keys with values that match what you need. These values may get overriden by Gauge Builder if you make new changes in the visual editor instead of a text editor, unfortunately. So if you make changes with the visual editor, you'll need to add the values back. We may look into making this possible in Gauge Builder at some point. Group components can be created in the text editor, but not from Gauge Builder. They're only required for advanced gauge manipulations.
