IC Kuksa Signals
#

This week I improved the style sheet for the IC page to better integrate with the application. All visible elements in the IC application are now supported by the AGL-Demo-Control-Center, including the Indicator buttons, Gear selector, Speed, RPM, Coolant temp, and Fuel level. However some of them do not respond to the changes made to the VSS signal values, this may be due to usage of outdated VSS paths or that the application simply doesn’t subscribe to the signals.

Signals being used on the IC Page are:

Vehicle Speed: “Vehicle.Speed”
Engine RPM: “Vehicle.Powertrain.CombustionEngine.Speed”
Left Indicator: “Vehicle.Body.Lights.DirectionIndicator.Left.IsSignaling”
Right Indicator: “Vehicle.Body.Lights.DirectionIndicator.Right.IsSignaling”
Hazard: “Vehicle.Body.Lights.Hazard.IsSignaling”
Fuel Level: “Vehicle.Powertrain.FuelSystem.Level”
Coolant Temp: “Vehicle.Powertrain.CombustionEngine.ECT”
Selected Gear: “Vehicle.Powertrain.Transmission.SelectedGear”

Custom Handles for Window
#

This week I also added custom handles for resizing the application since we do not use native window titles for the Application. This helps in resizing the window. I also added better animations for the window controls.

HVAC Controls
#

Initial support for the HVAC signals was introduced, and the HVAC Dashboard Application was used as a reference for the same.

Bug Fixes
#

Kuksa_Instance was updated to better handle client instances when reconnecting to the server.
settings module now better reflects the connection status.
Fixed the crash problem when the server is not found.

# Demo
#

# GitHub Readme
#

The GitHub README.md was updated to showcase the application’s features and also provide instructions to install on the system and configure it.

→ It can be found on the GitHub repo

# Building AGL-demo-platform
#

I also built the AGL-demo-platform from the master branch using the documentation, and am in the process of building the Flutter IVI dashboard demo applications. However, building that image gives me a single error for flutter-gallery_git package during the build process. I will work on that in the coming week.
