There is also a knob on each control that will require user's adjustments! Well, a 'knob' one that fits a tad better within the year we're in. Its a digital tracking bar! See red arrow.

I made the timer refresh on this digital trackbar at 0.1sec (100ms). < That + the capacitive touchscreen that I'm using here, thus making this little bad boy's digital knob Ultra Responsive. Requires less one finger than what's needed for a knob also! Placed it on the driver's side for convenience. Quick tap or drag and you are set.

We'll also have:

Me: Hello 986
InfoSys: Oh Hello!
Me: Volume level six please
InfoSys: adjusting volume to level 6 now!

Both features... are insanely fun! Again, 100ms refresh rate = ultra responsive

F 1954'style knobs man, I'm killing those (exterminate the knobs lolll)

Can't be all fancy and pretty (prototyping!)

Sharing with you some not-so-preettee material this time. Can't wait to see what it will look like with the theme turned on. Will do this this coming weekend and upload.

Developing a Turn by Turn Navigation backend for the Porsche cars. Sadly doesn't work with any other cars... has to be a Porsche. As you can see the car location's pin is porschetized :/

Below visuals are what the development form looks like at my end. All-in-all the features are in and coded, even got that Hello 986 Sexy voice telling you what to expect ahead lolll super fun

Proprietary 986Forum stuff, ladies and gents







^ Those two list boxes on the left hand side is 'fake' driving coordinates. Plugs onto a 2 second timer allowing me to develop this from a desk chair.... instead of a moving car seat
