I started creating new Data Fields for Karoo 2

Post by misteronline »

Hi guys,
although the SDK provided by Karoo is still very limited/restricted, after some investigation, I already achieved to create some new Data Field.

I developed the Dr. Skiba's W'Prime Balance data in a graphic gauge data field using simpler differential way for the moment (not the integral one for the sake of simplicity).

First of all, I developed a new "app screen" where you define your critical power (310w for instance) and your energy store capacity (20000 Jules for instance), and according to these numbers and the bike power you are making, the store deplectes or is filled in time according to the maths involved.

I am attaching a couple of screens.
Best regards!

Hi,
I'm absolutely interested in having this data field in my Karoo. Can you tell me how can I install it?

Hello!
I achieved to create an "apk" file that you can install in the karoo.
In order to do this, you will have to follow the instructions on the forum to install external applications.

I tried to install it in my own mobile phone, and seems to work fine (the app. where you can enter your settings data), but I do not know if the W'Balance data itself will be shown in the list of elegible data in karoo 2 for the profiles, since I install everything into my karoo from inside my development environment, and as you can imagine, it can not be proven in the mobile.

I do not know how to attach it to the forum, so I'm providing a link for it in my GoogleDrive.

You can trust on it :-)
I'll remove it in some days.

Nicely done, OP.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent datafield and one of the persuasions that pushed me to buying the Karoo2 after my Garmin died. I use this field in criteriums to gauge when to rest and when to attack!

Are you still doing development on this? I have a couple of suggestions

1 - the text in light mode is almost invisible, can it be made black?
2 - can you include a % W` left as well as the absolute value?
