I can’t find the original link to the post now but here was the text that I saved from it:
Hello would it be possible to add a digital compass? Such as N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. Thanks
End Quote.
I have created my own using a digital display
and a custom pid with the following:
Long Name: Compass Bearing
Short Name: Compass
Mode/Pid: Leave blank.
Equation: Closest(Val{GPS Bearing}::0=’N’:45=’NE’:90=’E’:135=’SE’:180=’S’:225=’SW’:270=’W’:315=’NW’:360=’N’)
Units: Bearing
Scale: x1
Min: 0.0
Max: 360.0
Diagnostic Start/Stop Command: Leave blank.
Note:
Beta version 1.8.190 or greater required to use
Closest function.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I do this, I only get the numbers displayed, eg. 45, 225, etc. not “NE”, “SW”. Am I doing something wrong or does this not work anymore?

Torque is picky about the single quote
character value so you might edit using
phone just in case.

Create pids with the following
equations…

Pid1

Closest(Val{GPS Bearing}+Val{Pid2}::0=’N’:45=’NE’:90=’E’:135=’SE’:180=’S’:225=’SW’:270=’W’:315=’NW’:360=’N’:-999=’–‘)

Pid2

Lookup(Val{Speed (GPS)}::0~3=-999:3~180=0)

Notes:

Edit pid2 speed ranges 0~3 and 3~180 to desired
trigger points.

Using a second pid prevents a display issue of
-999 showing intermitently.

Edited.

Sorry to bother again but I was wondering if there is any way to slow down the speed check interval to maybe once per second? Or is there something else that is now causing the instability/delay in the other sensors?

PID 1 is the only one being displayed. (Along with GPS speed, GPS altitude, GPS compass, # GPS satellites, nothing else.) GPS altitude now often reads negative numbers, but slowly, in jerks and jumps starts to come up to numbers in the hundreds of feet. (I am at ~900 ft.) GPS speed seems to update slowly, and often reads 2-5 MPH even when sitting still but eventually comes to 0.
Val{Speed (OBD)} won’t work because this phone is not connected to the OBD port as I have never been able to get Torque Repeater to work.

You will need to create Pid2 using the pid
editor the same way you created the original
Compass Bearing pid.

The equation for Pid2 has the trigger points
in it… just need to change 0~3 and 3~180 to
whatever values you prefer. The current values
will display “–” when GPS Speed is below 3.
Greater than 3 will show current bearing in
theory.

You should be able to edit Compass Bearing
equation to equal the equation given in Pid1.

The ~ tilde character is used by the lookup
function for ranges. Maybe you can cut and
paste?

You need to add Pid2 as a new pid.

The Compass Bearing pid equation can be
edited to match Pid1’s equation given above.

Tablet or phone with latest version of Torque Pro
should work if your equations exactly match
those I provided and Speed (GPS) pid returns
a value.

I tested offline using Val{Tilt(z)} since I drive an
OBDI Jeep MY1995.

nevermind i got it lol i didnt input the word “pid2” as the Long name (used in menus)

in my 3 mile trip for the 1st time with this new display, i only notice when i turn from North to East normally it would display N..NE..E smoothly. well with this new display it displays NE for less than a fraction of a second then E. im assuming its lagging a bit.
as far as the OP, no it worked perfectly
