Still being a bit of a n00b, I am having some problems figuring out the formulas for the hands on a watchface I'm making in Watchmaker. Can anyone lend a hand (sorry, no pun intended)?
What i'm trying to do is create a face with an hour hand that starts at 180 degrees (for noon/midnight) to 270 (11pm); and a minute hand that rotates counterclockwise from 180 degrees to 90 degrees. Does that make sense?

Sorry, that link was incorrect. (delete the spaces)

Not sure if you've already figured it out, but I just learned how to do this yesterday (so forgive me if it's wrong).
For your hours try: (90/12)*{dh}-180
Your minutes should be: -((90/60)*{dm}-180)
Thanks so much!!
Now, i have another question. I know that "{drh0}" is the rotation for the hour hand without rotation for minutes (i.e., a "jump" movement). How can I do that for the minutes as well? I am working on a watchface with three separate dials: one for the hour, one for the 10's of minutes (a dial from 0-5), and one for the single minutes (a dial from 0-9). But I can't figure out how to get the smaller minute dial hands to "jump" instead of rotate. Does that make any sense?
I think what you're looking for is:
360/6*{dmt} for your minutes (tens)
360/10*{dmo} for you minutes (ones place)
This is assuming you have 0 at the 12 o'clock position for your dials. (Technically you can even simplify the 360/6 and the 360/10 but I leave it as is for personal taste)
That got it! Thank you so much!

Hi, my name is Eric. I've been working with WinCE for a long time (since WinCE 2.0 haha) and I've regained interest in PPC programming. Working with few things here and there, mostly experimenting.
In anycase, I've got an idea to record g forces on a vehicle while it's being tested to its limits (AutoX, drag race).
Now, I know there's already a piece of software out there, gPC, but it isn't completely refined (indepth calibration, angle corrections) or completely free (by donation).
The goal of the project is to create something similar to a device called gTech which goes upwards of $300 for the basic model.
Key features will include:
- a reset function + algorithms to compensate for device orientation
- graphs of resulting logged data
- logging of calibrated data and raw data
- Driving aids
- Flashing screen to indicate reaching of new peak G (separate indicators for forward and lateral)
- a screen showing realtime overlapping graphed data for all axis
- a 2d grid with a cursor indicating current forward and lateral g
- on the same 2d graph, a drawn boundary indicating limits of g achieved (this will eventually look like an egg after working the car hard)
- and finally, real time telemetry transmission via edge/3g to a receiving computer
The ultimate goal of this project is to provide reliable data for motor enthusiasts whether they would like to see if their shifting is smooth, or if they're braking, or powering on in the right places or if their car mods have had any effect (this last one is pretty useful to quantify). In addition, provide some rudimentary tools to assist in competitions and spirited driving in the form of g limit warnings (flashing screen, large indicators of current g). In the case of spirited driving on a mountain road, the device can warn when approaching loss of traction (after collecting limit data) to prevent going off a cliff.
Venues of use:
Auto Cross
Track Days
Drag Strip
Skidpad
Of course, I have to insert here, that this device can't save your bacon if you do something idiotic and by no means do I condone dangerous driving.
With that said, all the above is what I hope to achieve and any of your comments is well appreciated.
Current Release:
v0.1
Alpha stage, rudimentary raw data output via numbers and a line (indicating X and Y recorded g) and a circle (indicating Z g). The numbers shown are the raw numbers recorded from the accelerometer and not converted to m/s^2. Although, you can probably do that math on your own if you're smart enough (simple scaling). What I've discovered is that each accelerometer is different, and even going from a negative axis (eg, device upside down) to positive axis (device right side up) will give different numbers. In addition, if you run the program, you'll notice a lot of jitteriness. I hope it doesn't affect the accuracy once I smooth them out with a segmented average.
Executable is packaged in a zip. It contains an EXE which can be straight run with Dot NET CF v2.0 (basically, all WM 6.1 devices)
Hi Canagan,
Great idea, I will certainly be testing this out.
I would like to ask, would it be possible to be able to include 1/4 mile time, and 0-60 etc so we can work out HP of the car. There is a similar app for the Iphone called Dynolicious http://gizmodo.com/5030749/iphone-apps-we-like-dynolicious-car-performance-meter
Thanks.
Whoooaaa sound a really good app ! Will test it this weekend ! Thanks

Yes, I can do that if there's more of a demand for it. Calculating horsepower is fairly simple, however, I may put 1/4 mile times and 0-60 towards the end of development as they require tieing into the GPS.
Great idea.. I will test it also
It seemt to be working on my Touch HD. But are the meaning of all these numbers??

Cool, looking forward to seeing this develop.
So far the accelerator test seems to be working fine.
would be need ive i could see how many hp mycar has
Hi @ll
i have an idea when vieuwing websites, that portrait mode gives the mobile view, but if i rotate my hero to landscape i can switch to the full version of the website.
would this be possible at all ?
grtz
I hope it won't be just 90 degrees counterclockwise.
I'm still puzzled by this limit.
(double entry)
do not want
Why? As a left-handed I find the "normal" landscape orientation quite uncomfortable!
in most cases, it would involve reloading the site, which would suck if im on a gprs conxn.
@warsng
If you don't need to reload for a 90 degrees counterclockwise, you won't for 90 degrees clockwise!
And, if your abjection is general, keep in mind that most of the time the two things are just a change of CSSes away, which is not a site reload, just a new presentation.
You objection makes sense, though.
Greetings to Developers & Moderators.
I am using Raphael 300( Windows 6.5.x ) and I prefer using the windows Home Screen rather than using Manila.
I humbly ask you all is it possible to make the clock ( small round analogue ) alive and work equally along with the digital one on the home screen.. I have attached a picture along with this post to make the concept clear..
Thanks and Regards to every Moderators and Developers
Hi bonnyinqingdao
The little analog clock is only an image, search for "Titanium skins" to find something close, not what you want exactly. Good luck!
Feasibly, I could make a program that every minute it updates and creates a new clock image based on the Time, however I am not sure how the homescreen works exactly (in terms of refreshing). Refreshing the homescreen every minute would be both a pain and inconvenient.
If someone knows how to update the image every minute without inconvenience, I would be happy to make the image-maker

60 images X 12 = 720 it's a lot of work !!! Refreshing Titanium takes 3 to 6 seconds, every minutes it 'll happen, the whole device will be devoted to doing only this thing

I wouldn't save the images to the phone. Not all of them atleast.
The program would have a base-image to work with, and it will load it, then draw a Line on it with Graphics.DrawLine() for the minutes and one for the Hour. I already know the formula for degrees between hands for every minute (it was an Extra Credit Final Project in my Geometry class two years ago )
However, if Titanium doesn't update that often, then it isn't all too worth it...It would cost more resources than it is worth That, or someone can just make a new CCLock Panel (I don't know C++ well enough, so I can't do that)...
Right, I didn't think about changing the arms only
There's already an analog clock plugin somewhere....
Title says it all, here's a link to my SUPER TEDIOUS AND INCREDIBLY INEFFICIENTLY made live wallpaper for facer. It's the kefka battle, every character (Sabin, Cyan, Terra, Edgar and of course, Kefka) has an attack animation. Animated frames are tied to the rotational position of the second hand which after some experimenting I found only counts in increments of 6. Therefore here, for you all, a one minute, looping, landmark retro battle scene that takes place on your watch everytime you turn your wrist.
THIS DOES TAKE A WHILE TO BE PUSHED TO THE WATCH FROM THE APP BE PATIENT.
Seriously, I restarted my watch before I attempted to push and it took about 3-5 minutes to finally sync, but I'm more than proud to announce it runs perfectly with no lag or errors on screen.
Time/Date/Battery percentage are in a harmless green text along the bottom.
I hope you enjoy this watchface, I know I'm going to. I wouldn't mind frame by framing more detailed animations for this but unless someone can show me a way to increase the animations FPS from 1 per second this is the absolute best I can do.

A mere 2 of the 60 images just to show that it is in fact, animated. Don't ignore the Second Image link above the photo linked above.
Without further adieu...

Metroid something soon to follow.
I would love to know how to get this to work which app do I use?

You can push this to your watch with facer! Just be patient, it may take a while to show on the watch but the results are to expectation.
Does this show as square on an LG G Watch?
I am brand-new to this, as I just got a Moto 360 (1st gen.) for Christmas. I was trying to make a watch face from a design. I had isolated the parts of the design i wanted for the hour hand and minute hand. However, every time i try to create the watchface in Watchmaker, the hour/minute hands have a white background. In other words, i cannot figure out how to create the design for the hands with a transparent background.
The main restriction i have is that i am only working on this through my work laptop, and i don't really have access to install new programs (i.e., paint.net, etc.). I have MS Paint, or any other program that is normally pre-installed.
Can anyone give any advice? OR... i could easily email the design parts to someone and have them build it for me. But i would like to know how to do this as well.
Thanks to all! Again, sorry for such a newb question.
