Radial / Bar Segments as Gauge - Easiest Way

This is a Microcontroller I made for a Video about the 0.6.14 Update and i've made a Number to Gauge version for Steam Workshop.

If you need, i made a test with this microcontroller here : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1691997260



Now with a Passthrough Input you can use to chain other microcontroller and connect to many chained Instrument Panels




You can delete this Input if not needed to make this chip smaller.





First part is there to scale the input value to 8, because there is 8 segments on Radial or Bar Displays.

This is simply done by dividing 8 by the Maximum Value and by multiplying this to the inputted value.


Then...



This function is :

(2^x)-1

Because each segment (With Number (bits) Setting) represents a binary weight like this :



...if you want many segments to goes ON, you simply need to add each weight of which segments you need.

For example, for the two first segment, 1 + 2, so you'll have to input a 3.

And etc... for any segment you need... 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 for the first 5 segments....


2^x is here to return, in decimal, the value of each weight.

2^0 = 1
2^1 = 2
2^2 = 4
2^3 = 8
2^4 = 16
2^5 = 32
2^6 = 64
2^7 = 128
2^8 = 256

and i decrease this value by 1 to obtain a full 1 binary number, like this :

(In Binary)
2^0 - 1 = 0 (0)
2^1 - 1 = 1 (1)
2^2 - 1 = 11 (3)
2^3 - 1 = 111 (7)
2^4 - 1 = 1111 (15)
2^5 - 1 = 11111 (31)
2^6 - 1 = 111111 (63)
2^7 - 1 = 1111111 (127)
2^8 - 1 = 11111111 (255) - 8 segments to ON


I hope this will help some people... and if you didn't understand any of this heavy weighted text.... don't worry and just download this microcontroller, it will make the job for you ;)
