Create a panel image for a custom component.

[faveremario]

Hi all

I try to make my own small component e.g. MQ2 gas-sensor using the manual here: https://www.matrixtsl.com/resources/fil ... eation.pdf
I've looked also to the video-tuto of Ben here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhvrwILJA38 (nice done )
I've looked in this PDF that should point to the solution (but does not work in FC8) : https://www.matrixtsl.com/resources/fil ... owcode.pdf

The only thing I could do is selecting an image that shows up in the component list. But on the panel, the image shown is not very representative.

So my question : is it possible to change a (custom) component's panel image into a new, more significant one ?

Thanks in advance.

PS : does there exist some repository where house-made-components can be shared ?

Hello,

Yes you should be able to use primitive objects from the Creation component category to re-create the sensor. The primitives can be wrapped with a texture to allow you to show the gauze type material. You might have to think about if you need access to the Pot or the LED for simulation purposes.

Not currenty other than the forums, though we keep thinking about doing somethig more official with this.
