Behavior

Great for speed, current, pressure and humidity.
Reads best at medium tile sizes.
Often paired with a numeric value tile for exact readout.

Firmware contract

Send a number in the configured range; the app maps it into the gauge arc.

On the app side this widget snaps to the 8-column square grid and uses both resizing. Its raw type is GAUGE and the matching icon token in the app is gauge.medium.

Pin support: A configured pin is required before the widget becomes meaningful.

Transmission: Payload format depends on the widget type and the selected pinType.

Allowed pin families

Bound to the configured pinType and limited by how the current app/connector serialize the widget payload.

Transport path

Payload leaves the canvas through the dashboard transport and lands on the selected virtual, digital or analog endpoint.

Operational limits

Server-side behavior may still depend on board library support and project policy.

Configuration surface

Color, label and position are stored in the dashboard profile.
Use the app-side widget config sheet to tune behavior per widget type.

Limits and caveats

Server-side behavior may still depend on board library support and project policy.

Firmware example

A minimal pattern that matches how this widget usually talks to the board.

gauge.ino

void loop() {  float pressure = readPressure();  Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, pressure);}

Layout notes

Canvas footprint

4 x 4

Default footprint in the Plynx canvas before user resizing.

Resize floor

2 x 2

The minimum size accepted by the app during drag-resize.

Interaction model

Display

Whether the user edits state directly or only reads it.

Related widgets

Value Display

Fast numeric readout for single values like temperature, current or uptime.

Labeled Value

String template display with inline placeholder replacement for the current pin value.

LCD

Character display widget inspired by classic 16x2 LCD modules.

LED

Simple indicator surface where brightness or on/off state mirrors a pin.
