Analog Meter from UEZ & GDI+ HELP

I have been working on my analog gauge project when I have time, if you don't know check out this thread

Now that one sucks, it was more so proof of concept but the code itself is crap.

I had been reading up on GDI+ and fixing things like flicker and generally just making analog gauges, I found this thread which mentions pushing the background image into memory and calling it from there as the gauge refreshes.

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22024

"You need to store the static background image in a memory area in its native pixel format (which, regardless of the source format used, it's *always* 16 bit 1555 or 32 bit 8888) then, at every frame during the _DRAW cycle, restore the background, then draw with GDI+ on top of it."

Then I found this project from UEZ

http://www.autoit.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=10534

So I was looking through his code (GREAT JOB BTW) and I seen some brilliant ideas that I think would really set the analog gauge project off, Most important would be pushing the BMP into Memory.

It looks like this is done towards the bottom with the VU_Image() function, I think that is the image converted into HEX? But I tried to convert an image to HEX and use something else to see if it would work and it did not, maybe I didn't convert correctly. If it is indeed HEX couldn't you run an IN SCRIPT convert on the BMP instead of converting externally and then pasting in the code?

I just feel there has to be a better way and a way where you could use different images.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated, if you dont know a better way but know if that is the image and if it is HEX or why there are 2 functions for the image (VU_Image() & VU_Fragement_Image()) please let me know.

I plan to post my complete code up once I get this all sorted out to give back to the community, my goal is to make a set of gauges that is user customizable and can report data read on a serial port through an external controller like an arduino and do it all in AutoIT.

I think will be great for things like Speedometer, Tachometer, Water Level, or any other type of sensor that looks good as an analog gauge.

I have noticed the explosion in EE with the Arduino and many of those users are looking for compatible software which is just as simple and easy to learn. I think the marriage of Arduino and AutoIT is perfect because they are both very similar in their nature. My primary focus withing AIT currently is to come up with creative ways to bring these 2 communities together for the mutual benefit of both.

Don't everyone answer at once, Do I need more information or does my thread not make sense. Please anything you need from me to help get this topic rolling just let me know. I'd love to get this thing going because I believe this will be a hot item once its working and people can use and modify it easily.

Hi,

The person that can probably answer your post most effectively would be UEZ.

But UEZ is on holidays atm.

So hang in there and bump your thread once a day so it doesn't get lost.

I'm sure once UEZ is back from holidays he'll try and answer your question.

Cheers

Hi,

you can use this code to convert any file to a binary string: http://autoitscript.com/forum/topic/123293-how-to-play-sound-directly-not-from-file/page__view__findpost__p__856302

İt will create a function within the binary string which will be put to the clipboard (it is a modıfied version from Ward's code!)

To use this binary string you can use the Load_BMP_From_Mem function (latest version here: http://pastebin.com/mt1NkG5e)
