Generic Gauges Controller

Universal instrument cluster backend that drives gauge displays for any vehicle. Processes vehicle telemetry (speed, RPM, temperatures, fuel, etc.) into normalized gauge values. Supports custom gauge modules for extensibility.

Public API

FunctionDescription
setUIMode(parameters)Pushes a UI mode change (e.g., Sport vs Eco theme) to the HTML cluster.
module.setParameters(parameters)Sets the parameters.

Hooks

HookDescription
initSecondStage(jbeamData)Parses the display configuration and initializes the HTML texture. Dynamically identifies which electrics, powertrain devices, and custom gauge modules need to be polled.
updateGFX(dt)Main polling loop. Aggregates data from all configured sources and streams a JSON packet to the HTML UI at the configured FPS.
module.reset()Resets the controller to its initial state.

Analog Odometer

Controls a mechanical-style analog odometer display that accumulates distance traveled. Animates digit wheels with realistic rollover behavior and persists the total distance across vehicle resets.

Acceleration Data Gauge Module

Custom gauge module that provides G-force and acceleration data to instrument cluster displays. Calculates longitudinal and lateral G-forces for performance gauges.
