Re: Introducing RealDash
Yes it is, you need to import the Megasquirt ini file manually into RealDash settings. After ini file has been imported, the input value category "Megasquirt Imported" will contain generic sensors.PUMPISH wrote:Just wondering if it gonna be possible to choose Generic sensors inputs to the dash?

Re: Introducing RealDash
You are not the only one confused about this. Most default dashboards have number-scales "burnt-in" into gauge background image. The reason for this was to make gauges look unique.PUMPISH wrote:I use bluechome and for expl the sstock boost gauge goes only up to 1.5 bar and I am trying to to set 400kps (3bar) but nothing happenes.

There is a autoscaling feature in needle gauges, which will draw the number-text dynamically on top of gauge background. Try making new dashboard, and add new needle gauge. Autoscaling is enabled by default for new needle gauges.
Also, gauge value range is independent of its needle movement. To adjust range of the gauge, in edit mode:
1. Select gauge
2. Tap "Input & Values" on top menu
3. Adjust range, warning, and critical levels to your liking. Tap OK.
4. Tap "Look'n Feel" on top menu
5. Select 'special', and adjust needle movement angles and autoscaling parameters.
It is bit more complex than most of the users have used to, but in exchange it allows to create very complex dashboards.
I recommend using the free Windows editor to create dashboards. When done, just copy the .rd file into your device and open it thru the gallery.
Free Windows editor can be downloaded from dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fa1r6xigbezd ... tqaWa?dl=0

Re: Introducing RealDash
In sdcard/RealDash is just fine, but you can put it anywhere you like.PUMPISH wrote:Where should I put the ini file?
After you have copied the ini file:
1. Open RealDash->Settings from top menu
2. Next to "Data Source" button should read "Megasquirt". If not, tap the "Data Source" button and select Megasquirt
3. Now on the right you have button "Import ini file", tap that and select the ini file you copied to the device.
4. Tap 'OK' button to close settings.

Re: Introducing RealDash
Scales and titles in "Bluechrome" example are drawn integrally into gauge backgrounds. They cannot be changed unless you draw another background and import that into the dashboard.
There are 2 zip packages in dropbox:
- RealDash-dashboard-resources.zip contains the graphics files we have used for free/example dashboards. It is not required to run the editor.
- RealDash-editor-v109-win32.zip contains the editor application for Windows
To start the editor:
1. Download RealDash-editor-v109-win32.zip from dropbox
2. Go to your computer "Downloads" folder and double click the RealDash-editor-v109-win32.zip file
3. Select the folder inside the zip file and copy it (ctrl+c)
4. Paste (ctrl+v) the folder from zip file into any folder you like. Desktop works fine too.
4. Open the folder you just pasted and double click the "RealDash.exe"
Windows 7 or newer is required to run the Windows editor. Also, your graphics drivers must be up to date (for OpenGL support).

Re: Introducing RealDash
It sounds like not all files are extracted from zip, or your computer does not have the drivers to run the app. Is there 10 files total in same folder with RealDash.exe?PUMPISH wrote:I did allt that and when I double click to realdash,exe then it ask me If I wanna run it on my computer.

Would it be possible for you to ask somebody to help you to get started with the editor?
We have had no time to package the Window editor into the installer that would make sure that all the dependencies are installed with it. We offer the editor like 'extra' feature to RealDash, and once you get it running it is much easier to create dashboards with. Hopefully someday we will have an installer for it to make it easier get started.

Re: Introducing RealDash
Sorry it did not work out for you. One more thing you could try is to right click the 'RealDash.exe' and select 'Run as a Administrator'. Otherwise please ask somebody to take a look if your graphics drivers are up to date.
Could you share your computer info?
- Windows version (7,8,8.1,10, home, pro, 32 or 64bit)?
- Installed Graphics adapter name?

Re: Introducing RealDash
One thing that could cause this is that you have another app running on the background that is connecting to same bluetooth device. Also double check that in settings your bluetooth device name is shown next to the "Data Connection" button.PUMPISH wrote:One more thing, I just tryed to run realdash on my car but it can not be connected.

If you have MS3, you can also try to connect with USB cable. Just change the connection type from settings ("Data Connection" button).

Re: Introducing RealDash
Your computer probably has Intel graphics chip. Ask somebody to update the drivers and the editor will run.
Honestly; I do not know why RealDash is not connecting to your ECU. The bluetooth connectivity has been very reliable and fast to connect, but in your case something is wrong. Maybe you have accidently prevented the permissions for the app or something. Don't know. I can refund your full version purchase if you like?

Re: Introducing RealDash
This left me wondering and I did some tests. Indeed, current version has something strange going on while entering text into gauge ranges.PUMPISH wrote:but I can stil not change the gauges scale.
On previous update, we added the 64bit arm support along with the x86 support for Android build. We use very old 32bit Android device as a test device. Its usually a good thing; if something runs on that, it will definitely run on newer devices also. But now, the 64bit arm version contains a bug that makes float-to-text conversions to fail. And indeed, when run on newer device, inputting new values to gauge range caused wrong values to appear into text boxes. This may have seem very confusing indeed.
I fixed the problem and uploaded new version into Google Play. Please update.
