THIS, in my opinion, is exactly what a dashboard for our equipment should look like !

It is AWESOME !

You are the man, W B !

Jim,  this display has been looking great,   and looking better all the time.

Sure could use the ability to monitor,  and, especially control the Canbus products,  remotely.   We have a remote site, which runs two Classics, and is on the same network as the main cabin system.  SO,  it seems that much of the monitoring of that system could be done by the Classics, but would need to swith a Barcelona, or HB to Float,  change Abosrb time settings,  and few other things to be quite useful.

Thank you for all of your off-the-clock work, so far.

Great work!  Vic

Vic, controlling can also be done.

I would think that would be another screen though.

For starters, this monitoring view is wonderful !

No, make that beautiful !

Actually I was working on a little bit of code to make changes.  Grafana and the dashboards don't have any way to do inputs.  But Python has a neat little web server that allows you to take input using HTML and populate variables.  That means I can write MODBUS registers to the Classic.  My HTML (Web Page building) really sucks!  I did manage to throw some simple pages together.  I was laid up for months with retina repairs and recovery so it got pushed to the back burner.  Then came the CANBUS stuff so off I went on CANBUS code for the COMBOX.

Here are the quick graphs & gauges I made for Hawkes Bay and Barcelona. Nothing fancy just quick and easy.  FYI all the gauges, graphs and dials are user customization.  All I do is put the data formatted into a time series database.  The user can select and build any number of these any way they want.

Hi Jim,  this graphic info displays really look great!

It does look like you have made a lot of progress.

Sorry to read of your Retinal problem.  Take care and heal well.

Thank you for sharing your work here.  It is impressive!

The CAN bus products are a huge step foreward.   Thanks again, Vic
