# Sensor Panels
|
|
|
|
The `asterctl` tool is started in sensor panel mode if the `--config` command line option is specified.
|
|
|
|
Sensor panels are dynamic screens showing various sensor values. Multiple rotating panels are supported.
|
|
The sensor values must be provided in simple key-value text files from external scripts or tools. The `asterctl` tool
|
|
is only responsible for rendering the panels on the embedded screen.
|
|
|
|
Example panels from the AOOSTAR-X software, rendered with `asterctl` using dummy sensor values:
|

|
|
|
|
<img src="../img/sensor_panel-02.png" alt="Sensor panel 1">
|
|
|
|
See [custom sensor panels](custom_panel.md) for including custom panels.
|

|
## Supported Features
|
|
|
|
- One or multiple panels rotating in configurable interval (configuration value `setup.switchTime`).
|
|
- Each panel can be configured with multiple sensor fields.
|
|
- Text sensor value fields are supported (`sensor.mode: 1`), but there are still some text size and positioning issues.
|
|
- Fan (2), progress (3) and pointer (4) sensor modes are being worked on and not all configuration options are working yet.
|
|
- Each sensor field can be customized with an individual font, size, color and text alignment.
|
|
- Panels are redrawn at a configurable interval (configuration value `setup.refresh`).
|
|
- Only the updated areas of the image are sent to the display for faster updates.
