Should I find that the temperature setting is somehow slightly incorrect or if the plugin thinks the climate control is on when it is off then all I have to do is keep pressing the 'decrease temp' button (or increase) a bunch of times, this will ensure the unit is turned on and will return it to the same position (both the application and climate control will stop at "LOW").
I did initially plan to control every aspect of my climate control but in all honesty I've only ever touched the temperature and on/off buttons. Things like fan speed, de-misters, recycle, etc are all done automatically anyway.
So, still on the todo list:
- Settings to include Phidget Serial Number, should more than one phidget be used in the car
- configurable buttons-phidget relays.
- Pre-set temperatures. I only really need 2 but I might just make it 4. |
Hi Diablo,
I have a question, How did you get the controls to show on the main screen. I'm curious to know if you edited a skin to do this or if it is a function through plugin SDK?
I'm making a skin editor for centrafuse and want to make sure I support something like this if it's within the skin.xml file that needs to be changed.
Also I'm looking to do some plugin work myself.
P.S. Very cool work I'd love to see some tutorial or a PM to find out how you did it with the phidgets.
