Just playing around with a Torque Tool Gauge. Bit work in progress, but using a wide band as needle rather than a classic needle and due to how my gauges are build up I can easely get them adapted to various stiles. This provides 4 gauges at the space of one – a bit work…
As mentioned before it is easier to blog about HW than SW, more to show. But, that is about to change because BSA is very visual once it runs. The screen below is just a demo/test for Save/Load functionality and once that is working I can easier blog actual about diagrams. I must admit it…
Using a PLC module (or any component) in BSA is straight forward – you simply declare an UML State symbol with the input/output events you need and set this as external with the selected interface protocol and addressing scheme. The protocol can be anything because BSA is after all just a visual specification, so the…
BSA will see the PLC modules as a named tree and the diagrams send/receive messages using those names as addresses. You will have the option to design and/or detect a tree. easyIPC contains a config system allowing new, unknow modules to be reported and the user can then assign that module to a named position…
I have about a days work left and the plot is ok. The performance issue means I have limitations, but for most applications this will be more than ok. More important is that coding up the rest of the plot is about re-using components from the linear bar. I need to modify range to support…
This is my first attempt on a classic line-plot in WPF and it kind-of works, but performance is optimal. I use 500 points with random values, Polyline updated 4 times a sec and 4 lines just for demo. The plot is ok’ich, but I am not impressed. Used stand alone it will be ok –…
I will implement some support for source code control in BSA, but this has two major challenges: My repository is XML and XML & GIT have never been good friends. GIT can be messy even on classic source code, but it realy can be confusing on XML. I am writing the save file as we…
I am in general very happy with the property editor, but it does have room for improvements. In this case I edit a table within a table. First the list of events and on each Event a list of Parameters. It works fine, but the editor get very messy to look at. I have a…
This is an early version of the 2 navigators I want to add. Both are located as folders on the left tool bar for now. Tools, Navigator and Document are selectable on the left toolbar. The “Navigator” show a selection of repository content that is needed to navigate between diagrams or diagram content. It will…
This diagram is absolute nonsence, but it is actually valid. like you can write rubbish code in any language you can do s with diagrams as well. I think the compiler will pick on this due to parameter conflicts, but yet again – these are made by you. This was just a mock up I…
