converting from ms to kts etc #2

Open edtacey opened 1 year ago

edtacey commented 1 year ago

Fantastic plugin/ I am feeding it data from my Polars etc from another plugin however these numbers are in m/s not knots is there a way to convert on the fly in the ux or do I need remap them and inside singlek then sent them as knot based speeds

htool commented 1 year ago

No need. It assumes SignalK's internal m/s unit.

So is there a trick to this I am presenting polars to the interface in ms but need to surface the ui in knts

Happens by itself as long as you're using the right paths in signalk (from https://signalk.org/specification/1.5.0/doc/vesselsBranch.html) or ensure the get a unit.

My bad, it wasn't. But does now if you set unit to 'kn' and it sees 'm/s', it will make it 'kn'.

legend thanks I take some heart that I was going to make the change there as well.

Great plugin btw - have you had much experience in screen hardware choice - or is the design more focused on phone and tablet as a use case.

I bought this one:

And wanted the same look as the other B&G instruments. I figured to make it flexible enough to make use on other hardware easier.

The tiles do require a certain aspect ratio, so tile layout and screen size need some alignment.

The layout css files do this.

Not super easy, but doable I'd say. Once it works it works. Setup may take some tinkering, but can be done at home.

But a large waterproof phone would probably work just as well. Something with a magnetic holder with wireless charging would be perfect.
