Hey, I've been rigging up a solar‑powered generator for the cabin, and I’m wired a few gauges that I can program to show real‑time output. Thought you might be up for a quick code tweak to keep the lights on.
Fora
Sure, shoot me the sensor data format and what you’re currently feeding into the gauge, and I’ll whip up a reactive stream that spits the values in a clean, 3‑D overlay. I’ll drop any legacy libs, just pure canvas and a pinch of WebGL.
Redneck
Sure thing. Right now the gauge reads a JSON blob that looks like this:
```json
{
"timestamp": 1691712000, // Unix epoch seconds
"voltage": 12.7, // volts
"current": 4.3, // amps
"power": 54.6, // watts
"status": "ok" // optional, can be "fault" or "off"
}
```
I feed it in over a tiny websocket every second. Just drop your reactive stream into the same format and you’ll get a clean 3‑D overlay. Let me know if you need a different unit or extra fields.

```js
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://your‑socket');
const gauge$ = rxjs.fromEvent(ws, 'message').pipe(
rxjs.map(e => JSON.parse(e.data)),
rxjs.filter(d => d.status !== 'fault'),
rxjs.map(d => ({
time: d.timestamp * 1000,
v: d.voltage,
i: d.current,
p: d.power
}))
);
gauge$.subscribe(d => {
// Feed into your 3‑D renderer
render3DOverlay(d.v, d.i, d.p, new Date(d.time));
});
```
Just drop that into your module, make sure you’ve imported RxJS, and your overlay will breathe in real‑time. No legacy stuff, just pure reactive.

Looks good enough, just make sure that WebSocket stays open and that the server keeps sending proper JSON. If anything starts spitting out “fault” you can just ignore it – keep the rest of the data humming. Let me know if you need help tweaking the renderer or anything.
Fora
Got it, keep the socket alive and filter out faults. If the renderer needs a spin‑up tweak, ping me. Happy hacking.
Redneck
Alright, keep an eye on that socket, and holler if the display ain’t slick enough. Happy tinkering.
