A gauge for Power Factor.

[marl0rd]

Hey man! I am here again, first i want to say: Congratulations! you improve your own limits... This is a ENZO RELOADED. I have been using the old technique of Enzo to create some aditional gauges to my electrical system application too, i am going to create a blog about that someday...

Ok, now to the point. Have you ever seen a Power Factor Gauge? I am wondering how to do it, and basically the hardest part is the scale... Take a look:

There is a totally custom scale, but indeep (a transductor signal of 0Volt to 10Volt actually), it is an integer that can be in the range [0...2], so when the value is 1,5 the needle has to move to 0.5cap(capacitive) and when the value is 0.5 the needle has to go to 0.5ind.

So, my question is: How could someone do this behavior with the gauges that we use to design?

This video shows the hardware device working, but its easy in this case because you can change the meter label and it is isolated from the mechanism..

I just figure out how the custom ticks labels in Medusa works. It is very impressive, with this functionality everything its possible.
