Color Value Introduction

Color Value is a widget designed to match the Ethos’s Value widget. In its most basic form, it is almost indistinguishable. from the original.

Set the source to be a telemetry sensor, then it can output the minimum and the maximum inside widget’s output:

RSSI
64dB
78↑
42↓

But if you prefer classic output, turns Minimum and Maximum to OFF

RSSI
64dB

Then you can access those values from the contextual menu of the widget.

contextual menu min/max

The UI of the widget is very simple to understand, here we are using a RxBatt Source, and we add color when below certain thresholds. You can play with the simulator by changing the source value (top right) or by changing the thresholds in the configure panel.
