Software / Page editor
Design your own display pages
The page editor is a live editor for the display. Every page is built on the PC, with your own images and your own fonts. With the wheel connected, the editor shows the page with live data.
For the CORE F1 Display steering wheel
Page editor
A page made of building blocks
A display page can consist of building blocks: rev counters, bars, number fields, texts, images, warning lights and the shift light as a bar. Each block is dragged onto the page, moved and resized.
The list of pages with their blocks is on the left, the page itself in the middle, the properties of the selected block on the right. Colours, font, limits and unit are set there.
Every value comes from a signal
A block shows the value of a signal. That can be a value of the wheel, such as the supply voltage, or a value from the CAN bus, such as engine speed or oil pressure from the engine control unit.
Which message delivers which value is defined in the logic editor. After that the value can be picked in the page editor like any other signal.
Live preview
What the editor shows is what the display shows afterwards.
With the wheel connected, the real values run through the preview. You see at once whether a needle moves correctly and whether a warning comes at the right threshold.
Your own images and fonts
Logos, backgrounds and symbols are loaded as images and written to the wheel together with the page. The same applies to your own fonts.
How much memory is available for this is stated on the page of the device.
Community: share pages
You can upload your own pages straight from the software and share them with others.
In the template window the pages of other users are listed under "From users". One click loads one of them into your own project, images included. Every uploaded page is checked by Cronesix before it is published. If the page is approved, you receive a voucher for it.
Templates
Bundled templates such as Apex and Combustion are a ready starting point. They are loaded, bound to your own signals and rebuilt as you like.
Your own settings pages
Settings pages are put together in the editor as well: which values are on them, in which order and with which limits.
The driver changes the values later on the wheel, without a PC.
