Home Instrument ClusterACM Instrument Cluster V0.92

December 13, 2023 Instrument Cluster, Project Updates, Software Design

This version is mostly focused on finalizing some of the infomenu widgets, menus and options and integrating a global notification manager.

Version 0.93 will be focusing on fixing various bugs and improving performance of certain functions as well as adding more infomenu widgets.


Changes

Notification Manager

  • Notification manager implemented.
  • Global and local menu-based notifications are available.
  • Buffer logic along with notification prioritization are included.
  • Menu focus logic implemented to focus notification when necessary.
  • Notifications include intuitive icons to see where the notification is coming from (navigation, phone, settings, etc.)
  • Notification action buttons are titled intuitively for the specific notification (apply/cancel, accept/reject, etc.)
  • Notifications with higher priorities remain on screen as long as the notification trigger remains active.
  • Notifications are removed from buffer if notification trigger becomes invalidated or hidden if currently visible.
  • Each notification type has custom timeouts to ensure interface simplicity.

Info – General

  • Arrow logic was implemented to hide/show arrows only when submenus are unavailable/available.

Time

  • Time options implemented
  • OEM/GPS/ACM are now viable system time options. They pull time and date info from the vehicle/GPS/System respectively.

RPM Gauge

  • Upshift warning setting added (on/off).
  • Upshift warning tolerance added (custom RPM or based on gauge yellow line or redline).

Nav Infomenu

  • Nav infomenu widget implemented.
  • Nav infomenu displays a mini map with custom high visibility style and zoom factor.
  • Voice instruction mute toggle functionality.
  • Route cancel functionality.
  • Destination percentage custom bar gauge (% of trip completed).

Music Infomenu

  • Music infomenu widget implemented.
  • Displays current music sournce (OEM/AMC).
  • Displays current playback status.
  • ACM Source – displays current track name if available, file name if not available.
  • OEM Source – displays OEM track info.
  • Next/previous track functionality.

Track Infomenu

  • Track infomenu widget implemented.
  • Custom bar gauge with animations and warning values implemented.
  • Bar gauge changes colors on specific warning values.
  • Display units adapt to metric/imperial main settings.
  • Monitor torque output % in real time.
  • Monitor power output % in real time.
  • Monitor battery voltage in real time.
  • Monitor oil temperature in real time.

Trip

  • Fixed fuel consumption/econ bug where values were not calculated correctly.

Nav

  • Media volume attenuation setting added.
  • If media is playing when navigation voice instructions are active, volume will be logarithmically attenuated from 10% to 50%.
  • Added resume route functionality on system startup.

Track

  • Bar gauge graphics reworked to include warning values and color changes.
  • Shift assist setting added that allows viewing RPMs or current gear.
  • RPM based shift point setting added. Shift assist gauge will fill gradually until the custom selected shift point then flash.
  • Lap timer now saves values until manually cleared or overwritten.
  • Speed timer now saves values until a new run is started.

Media

  • Fixed a bug where changing songs too quickly resulted to media not playing anymore.

Interface

  • Upper and lower infomenus now show when menu actions are performed (menu changes, etc.) and they are set to autohide.
  • Fixed a bug where upper and lower infomenus were not hiding correctly on navigation resume.
  • Toggle button graphics and logic implemented.
  • Nav Instructions now interact with notifications by hiding certain elements when necessary.
  • Infomenu focus logic reworked to integrate with notifications.
  • Setting added to allow hiding/showing nav menu sub-button labels. This can clean up the interface dramatically after the icons are learned.

System

  • Build system was migrated to ARM64 architecture.
  • System libraries were migrated to ARM64 architecture.

3D Engine

  • Destination arrow infomenu reimplemented in more modern 3D engine to improve performance.
