better modelling of Ammeter

Open gilbertohasnofb opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

XML16 - better modelling of Ammeter: it should read zero if battery fully recharged and alternator on, or show the positive flow of current from the alternator to the battery if the latter is not fully recharged, or show the negative flow of energy being drained from the battery if alternator fails or is turned off.

Current implementation has a known bug, reported by @wkitty42:

with the throttle at 13% I have ""good"" AMP output on the gauge. If I drop the throttle one level (PgDn) it drops to 11% and the AMP reading drops below 0 (zero) on the left half of the gauge. This is with the battery switch ON.

I can easily reproduce the issue above.

I believe this has been implemented, can I close this issue?

Shouldn't the number of electrical devices that are active have an effect on the amps? It always goes to 7 currently (no pun intended).

I don't know, but they certainly should have an effect on the voltage, see: https://github.com/Juanvvc/c172p-detailed/issues/38
