So it's the fact that you can mix metric and imperial that SCO wanted us to find?

SCO, luv, where are you?

 

Working, not like the rest of us. :D

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

No I don't think it was that....on the first screen shot all the info was imperial, which is what I think Hymee was pointing out. And sco wanted us to find something in that first screen shot. The bastard is sitting there looking at his monitor and having a good giggle ATM......

 

Distance? Q'ue?

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

But I know I am correct, as he told me so via MSN chat :p

 

With this sort of banter, I'll catch up to Taka's post count again!

 

...in his second "I'll give you a hint" screenshot.....

 

I see what you mean. The question was related to the digital readout screen shot. The options screen shot was just the hint.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Yeah, it was the hint that led us all off track

 

All I wanted to show was that we have support for changing the units - this was a question that came up before. I didn't mean to generate a post war

Units will be on the gauges. I have a long list of odd jobs to do (that don't take long) and that is on it.

 

I think you did just fine... Gomez has been fussy.

I can't wait for the product. No matter what it is going to be called.

 

taka i read your commercial in your last post - that was great

 

jason could you port this to linux?

 

Good question. .Net code is not platform specific. So someone just has to write a .Net runtime for linux. :BIG DUCK: Hehehehe.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

I knew I have potential to become a second hand car saleman

hmmm... I will settle as a Pathologist

 

Win one for yourself...

:BIG SWING:

It is unlikely the code can be ported in a way in which retains all the current functionality. The current gauges will only work on Windows. We'd love to do Linux, but time is limited and it would be much more work and that would push up the cost.

 

since it is based on .net in theory it could be run on a modded xbox right?

I noticed from the pics that the gauges are rather far apart from each other, will we be able to adjust it to fit them closer together so as the gauges will all be visible on the Navigation display (if I hook a laptop or carputer or xbox if works to it)?

thanks guys

 

The software will run on those versions of Windows supported by the .NET runtime. I don't think Windows runs on XBOX, nor would it be a supported configuration.

The gauges resize based on the application window size. So with circular gauges it will look best if the window is relatively square. More flexibility in the display will be in an enhanced version as I have previously mentioned. I'm trying to avoid thinking about the enhanced version until we ship the initial one, so if I'm a bit vague, I apologise - this is deliberate.

 

Are you guys planning on releasing the data capture API's for developers?

 

will there be fuel consumption analysis parameters? I'm thinking of instantaneous mileage, and average mileage over user-set time and/or distance intervals, and fuel consumed with start and stop "buttons"

 

We 'll look into releasing an API... I'll discuss with Hymee - nothing would happen until after the initial release.

There won't be any fuel consumption in the initial release. This might be something for an advanced version. The data we can get doesn't lend itself to accurate fuel consumption calculations. I have an idea on how to do it but it's going to be a fair bit of work.

 

SCO, What is an API?

Fabrice

 

Application Program Interface - basically a something a developer can call to use our software to write their own application.

Thanks SCO.
