line with spindle load percentage

[fixebr]

Greetings!
I connected my VFD via modbus, and get the spindle consumption in amps from it. This value is now simply displayed as a number on the screen.
How can you make the load output as a line with a percentage of maximum as on HAAS machines (for example, here - https://www.haascnc.com/content/dam/haa ... 20Mode.gif on the bottom left corner)

divide reading by max amps then multiply by 100

eg max amps 20. reading from vfd 10

10/20= 0.5
*100 = 50%

The persent I have long displaced on my screenset, it just does not constitute any problems. And how to make a pointer on the line? Look at the picture on the link in the first post of the topic.

i dont make fancy graphics.
instantaneous load and maximum load is all i display.

Did you get anywhere with this? Oddly something ive been looking into but completely new to UCCNC. Seems like a really useful feature

Sounds interesting for me! Do you have some update?

Hello,

I'm also in the same case ... I get the spindle power in watt and would really like to display as something visual (much faster to analyze than reading a number).
I tried using a slider but they work only as input, you cannot refresh their position by setting the field value, which is a shame (or I did miss something).

It would be really super helpful ...
By the way I'm an experienced C# developer.

Thomas.

Here is my macroloop to show dwell progress:

You can display any progress bar using the class AS3PBar. If you have the ImageView in your screenset then use the constructor with less parameters: that will not place the ImageView on the screen. I also attach the progress bar image as a sample:
