Speedometer

[Darq]

@Markkyboy Thank you for your help. I called the speedometer without using "CircularGauge". I want to trigger the movement of the pointer using "Rotation". How can I assign the needle offset angle to a given reading? I mean the following case: I have a reading of e.g. 0, an angle of 270 degrees, or a reading of 10, an angle of 300 degrees. How to make the pointer move smoothly to an angle of 270 when the value is 0, and when the value 10 appears, it moves smoothly to an angle of 300?

Earlier you told me nothing is displayed when building the app. Do I now assume you are seeing your app displayed on screen?, if so, what are you seeing?, what does console say now?

The more info you give the better we progress, right now, you are trying to run before you can walk.

@Markkyboy Previously, I didn't want to run the "CircularGauge" command, so I created the speedometer scale as a PNG image using the "Rectangle" command. Now I want to call up the speedometer needle. It is triggered similarly to the speedometer scales. But in order for it to move, I need to specify its "Rotation" command. This must be assigned to a numerical value and an offset angle. I'm downloading digital speed information and now I need to reflect it on the PNG speedometer scale. I just don't know how to do it.

@Darq I think you should take a look at this GitHub, it offers all kinds of gauges, including one with needle movement. I have personally taken many cues from this code and have developed dozens of speedometer types. https://github.com/arunpkqt/CircularSlider
I think you can learn a lot from this code and build what you like.

@Darq Check this this post, I think this is what you want https://forum.qt.io/topic/147450/how-to-animate-the-angle-of-neddle-in-a-speedometer/5

[Darq]

@Markkyboy How to limit the movement of the hand? What I want is for it not to show values ​​below 50. To sum up, the movement of the pointer would only start after reaching 50.

[Markkyboy]

@Darq - without seeing what code you have so far, I don't know how to answer your question. Please post some working code, or what you have so far. It is much easier to see and have ideas when one can see some code.

EDIT: As I am already using CircularSlider from arunpkqt in several projects, I can easily adapt my code with your code and possibly work out a way to get what you want.

@Markkyboy
HmiImage {
id: pointer1
anchors.centerIn: parent
source: "icons/abc.png"
rotation: 2.25*XXX+225
}

XXX is my measured value
225 is an angle where the value is 0
2.25 is a degrees conversion, so for example, my value indicates 1, which corresponds to 2.25 degrees

[Markkyboy]

@Darq - this small bit of code is not enough for me to work with.

[Darq]

@Markkyboy There is almost no more code there. There is only one more HmiImage defining the appearance of the shield (it loads the shields, i.e. a png file). In this code snippet there is only the "source" command which specifies the location of the png file. The png file has a scale drawn on it. The hint is called by the code above, which specifies its position (e.g. point 0 is at 225 degrees, so in the png file 0 is drawn at 225 degrees).

[Markkyboy]

@Darq - sorry, I just don't understand what you're trying to do. I can take plenty of wild guesses but I don't have the time to do so.

Making a functional speedometer requires a lot more code in my opinion. You could at the very least show an image/screenshot of what you have, otherwise I'm in the dark. At the very least, a mock up image of what you're wanting might be helpful.

What kind of speedo only functions when hitting 50?, what is the idea of this?, 50 what?, kmh?, mph?, kts?.....?

What is "icons/abc.png"?, what does it look like?

What is "hmiImage", where is that code?

Are you taking ANY cues from arunpkqt's application?

Seriously now, what you write here gives me very little to go on. I'm not sure I can help you.

Rather than leave you completely in the dark, Darq, here's some full code to make a working speedometer. Perhaps from this you can make it do what you want/require.

@Markkyboy I don't mean the code for the entire speedometer. I want to restrict only this part of the code " rotation: 2.25*XXX+225 " to move in the angle range, e.g. from 225 to 135. I want there to be no movement in the range from 136 to 224 degrees. I don't know how to specify this in the code.

[Markkyboy]

@Darq said in Speedometer:

...... I want there to be no movement in the range from 136 to 224 degrees. I don't know how to specify this in the code.

Sorry, right now I have no idea how to get what you want. I guess, like me, you will have to keep trying and playing until you succeed. I found little to no help with my own endeavours but fumbled my way through the code you see above. If I have an epiphany, I'll post it here but I make no promise.

Could you explain why you want such a feature?

[Darq]

@Markkyboy Commands like "CircularSlider" don't work for me. This shield is called as png. The only problem is with the limitation of the "Rotation" command, so that the rotation is only within a specific range.

[Sattiy]

@Markkyboy Can You Please specify which file is which file so i can integrate it accordingly like which is main.qml file here

[Markkyboy]

The first file is CircularSlider.qml, this forms the basis for the speedometer gauge in a circular fashion.

The second file is basically the 'Main.qml', in my case, it is called FirstPage.qml.
