HMs DIY #1-6

Because I want to keep this datafield and the app free for use I would be very grateful about a small donation to PayPal

A detailed description of how to use it can be found here:

HMs_DIY_GUIDANCE.pdf
HMs_DIY_ANLEITUNG.pdf

Thanks very much to mcinner1 for putting so much time into this documentation!

You can contribute on my github page.
You can upload your layout so others can use it as well.
Also any changes to the fonts.txt can be updated there as well.

Please tell me the number of elements in your layouts and which device you have (low, medium or high)!

I have a question to all of you reading this thread.

Because I am constantly optimizing memory usage in the datafield I had to limit the max number of elements of the layouts. Low mem has currently 30, medium 40 and high mem 500(but this value is only arbitrary because these devices have more than enough memory). If I want to add new values to the low and medium devices I would have to decrease the max number of elements. So I need to know how much you are using at the moment and if I could reduce it a little bit.

thank you

I use two designs, one for training, one for racing on my 935 (M)

Racing: 31

(1 circle, 11 lines, 7 text, 12 values)

Training: 27

(1 circle, 10 lines, 4 text, 12 values)

If I had to, I would be able to reduce the numbers, eg. replace some lines by rectangles or remove them...

[edit] I got them down to 30/26 by replacing lines with rectangles without any optical change [/edit]

No, these values do not use nr of values!

Loukas over 5 years ago in reply to mcinner1

Hey mcinner1, quick question, do you experience extra battery comsumption using so many elements?

mcinner1 over 5 years ago in reply to Loukas

No! Average 8% battery consumption per hour on Edge 1030.

Loukas over 5 years ago in reply to mcinner1

Thanks, I had today c.15%...., have to test more indeed

hundsmiachn over 5 years ago in reply to Loukas

Please upvote my previous post regarding max nr of elements in your layout so it stays on top.

thanks
