Version 3.99y Beta 16 has a modified SevenSegment2 that allows you to add a frame and text. This allows you to make a custom digital panel meter.

- Save the attached file DigitalPanelMeterR1.png
- Using 3.99y Beta 16 or higher, open the MainForm
- Add a SevenSegment2 to the form
- Set Size to 400,178
- Set TextCenterLocation to 200, 30
- Set InsetPercent to 25
- Set BackgroundImageLayout to Stretch
- Add a BackgroundImage and browse to the downloaded file

You should end up with something as shown in the attached picture of SevenSegment2wFrame

Hi everyone. I have played around with the SevenSegment2 and customised it to my liking. I need to change the value scale but it does not seem to have this option in the properties box ? . . I usually use the DigitalPanel which allows scaling the value but I can’t see how to do it using this ? . . Is there any way of achieving it ? . . Thanks in advance.

Tips & Tricks / Re: AdvancedHMI on a Raspberry Pi

« on: April 07, 2022, 07:37:40 AM »

Hi guys. I have got AHMI working on my Pi 4b 8Gb using Mono. The executable file loads fine and the HMI looks great so Mono definitely works well.

The issue I am having is with the Pi port labels. Unlike Windows which has easy "COM1" "COM2" etc it would seem that after a little bit of digging around the command lines on the Raspberry Pi my USB - RS485 cable seems to be attached to "ttyUSB0". However when I enter this port value into the properties box of the Modbus RTU driver and run it on the Pi it shows that "no such port address exists" ? . . . Any help would be most appreciated. Would love to get this to work on the Raspberry Pi.

Hi guys. I can't seem to change the decimal place of my DigitalPanelMeter that I have added to my Main Form ? . . I am using one to display the operating frequency of a motor running from a VFD. It will display 46Hz for example but will not display 46.5Hz which I would like it to do. This is the same for displaying the full load output current. It only displays 12A for example but not 12.8A which the inverter screen is displaying. Which value needs to be changed in the properties box ?
