Dash Config & Display Creator not syncing

Postby benntrevv on Wed Nov 08, 2023 11:38 am

Hey guys,

wondering if somebody can take my dash config and display creator file and make them both work for me please, also with a couple of changes.

So when i try to finalize it on display creator the message says " the channel is not being set anywhere. Display page", i've tried playing around with thing but i'm having no luck and then when i go to send the config file to the dash i get a message on dash manager which says "input channel for page up button is not generated" and a few channels are generated.

The things i'm tying to get done are:

Button 1 - change display pages
Button 2 - change dash display brightness from 100% to 40% (for night time)
Make the Lap gain/loss numbers below 0 go green for example -0.6 and then stay white when above 0

Help would be appreciated

Thanks
Ben

This can be done using Switches in DC, just set the text colour to change based on the value of the lap gain/loss channel.

Give this a go, it should do everything you want.

The brightness is using the reset button switching between low 40% and high 100%
This is done via a 2D table so you can adjust the % values there in Dash manager if need be.

Display pages are switched by using a counter and the next button.

The Delta numbers are changing to green when the value is < 0 else it is white

Let us know how you go.

Anthony,

So everything is working now, other than when i power the dash on, it starts with page 2 not page 0. is there a way to make it be on page 0 everytime i power on the dash?

Also when powering up, the dash powers up, logo comes on, page 0 comes on then instantley the dash flickers, black screen for half a second then page 2 just shows and stays.

Again ive attached dash config and display creator as ive played around with a few other bits

It should be starting with whatever page you were on when you last turned it off.

If you want it to always start with page 0
Dash manager > Calculations > Up/Down Counters > Display Page and Uncheck "Preserve Value"
Also worth noting that if you ever want to add an additional page in Display Creator to your layout you will need to adjust the "Maximum Value" here.
