Hi there,
we have a couple of new dashboard
instruments now, implemeted in the
current beta, so currently only available to source code builders.
Please see the attached screenshot.
For those guys with small displays and not much room for the graphical dial
instruments, I created them as simple „text“ instruments. There are
- Air Temperature (MTA sentence)
- Magnetic Heading
- Apparent Wind Angle (+- 180° on boat axis)
- True Wind Angle (+- 180° on boat axis)
- True Wind Speed
- True Wind Direction
plus one graphical dial instrument for
- True Wind Angle (+- 180° on boat axis)
Furthermore there are fixes for
- True Wind Direction : it shows correct values now
- ° character problem, at least in the "text" instruments (also in COG, Watertemp...) .
- "Temp" is renamed to Watertemp now
The wind instruments have an automatic fallback from
NMEA TrueWindAngle readings to MagneticWindAngle, if true is not available on the
NMEA sentence. You see which one's used in the text based sentences as suffix mag/true
Please also note the wind direction indicators for "text" instruments :
> : wind from left/port side, e.g.
> 236°
< : wind from right/starboard side e.g.
93° <
Except for the air temperature, which implements the MTA sentence, the instruments use the existing NMEA sentences.
