I've done a little step more in my own control panel, this is a wifi signal icon and wifi information bar which allows to turn on or off wifi connection in chumby. It just refresh when you press the refresh button.

The typographies I've chosen for the Cosmicpanel are,

for big texts and numbers: AUdimat Modern, nice caps, fresh numbers & Free

for little texts and non smoothed: PX Sans Nouveaux Easy reading, edgy & Free

Chumby, cosmicpanel, Typographies

This is a very primary version of cosmicpanel for chumby, just implemented the clock, date, events manager, a bit of the fast menu, dim/off screen and turn off chumby. Also a little console just to watch some information about the accelerometers and the events.

The objective of this movie is test the interaction sensors and possibilities to interact

Interaction elements

Bent sensor

sensor: _bent = ASnative(5,25)
for: Fast Menu

Pitch

sensor: _accelerometer = ASnative(5, 60), _accelerometer(3), _accelerometer(4)
for: Fast Menu

Roll

sensor: _accelerometer(2)
for: maybe lateral menu if lateral hits don't work

Lateral Hits

sensor: function( _accelerometer(2)[t=1] - _accelerometer(2)[t=0] )
for: lateral menu

Code

The basic code is the next:

	this.onEnterFrame=function(){
 
		if(is_event){
			wait_frames--;
		}else{
			lookBent();
			lookRoll();
			lookHit();
			lookPitch();
		}
 
		if(wait_frames==0){
			reset
		}
 
		updateStatus();
 
	}

Conclusion

- As the 12fps is quite fast, it has been necessary to add a timer when an event has been triggered.
- Pitch Up / Down are inverse than in code
- Fast Menu: using Bent sensor and Pitch Up/Down
- Menu: is possible to use lateral hit, even sometimes left & right are not well detected. We can use both to open it
