What I am not sure about is the graphics side</div><div>of things. I like what you have done, which is similar to the graphics display</div><div>on commercial submersibles, & I want to display all my sensors in a similar way. </div><div>I would also like to display video image (periscope) on the same screen.</div><div>I am envisaging that there are graphics packages that make this job a bit</div><div>easier. I have seen marine instrument display programs, but a submarine being so </div><div>unique will require taylor made graphics. </div><div>I have learnt photoshop & done a bit of animation so are not too daunted by</div><div>what I may be getting in to & would probably enjoy creating some high definition</div><div>(cool) displays.</div><div>So am probably looking for some sort of program that focuses on marine,</div><div>automobile or manufacturing instrument display & has basics like bar graphs</div><div>etc but can be tailored to cover instruments on a submarine. Hopefully</div><div>something that takes a lot of programming out of the equation.</div><div>Cheers Alan </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>On 15/11/2018, at 8:21 AM, Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings><o:AllowPNG/><o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542221803006_27660"><span>Alan,</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542221803006_27660"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542221803006_27660">You will need an arduino board, a bread board, and some wiring.
