Analog Gauge Mod

[Gargamel]

I remember seeing an analog gauge mod in the past, and after digging, I found it:

This seems to be a great mod, but I would like the ability to select various readouts from a variety of parts, as displayed in the right click box (RCB), and then have them displayed in gauges like these.  I'd be happy with this mod being dependent on NanoGauges being installed, as the gauges themselves are beautiful, and just adding the ability add custom gauges.

For example:

I have a NearFuture radiator that I like to keep an eye on during my burns.   It displays a "Cooling %" readout in the rcb.  If there was an option to grab that readout value, and apply it to a standalone gauge, that'd be great.  

Since every part is different, and mods introduce new parts all the time, without consulting every other mod out there, this mod would have to rely on the data given by the rcb, and not the part itself (I'd imagine).  That way we could add generic gauges for any data readout the game provides.  While the mod might be able to figure out what values to give the gauge limits automatically, it would probably be necessary to include an editor. So if we choose a % read out, we could have it show 0-100, or 50-75, or 0-120.  And the option to pick color bands, ie a 0-120 readout could be green 0-90, yellow 90-100, and red >100.  Same with something like solar panel output, instead of a %, we could pick a range of values.  And also a logarithmic gauge too, with editable value range, for... oh dunno why, but it seems like a good idea (the stock VS speed indicator is logarithmic if you need an example).

And of course, the gauges and their options would be remembered with that ship, so loading that ship would instantly display the custom gauges, or at least require a toggle switch, without having to go through and set them up again. 

And to be honest, they don't have to be these nifty analog gauges, they could be a simple digital readout.  All I want is the ability to look at a few select bits of data from a select number of parts, without cluttering up the screen.

That is is exactly what I'm looking for, too.

In my case the immediate interest is in things like , deploy angle, thrust limit, throttle(independent) and resource amount.

It seems like a "must have" mod that don't exist yet.

Nice pull... I would still love to see an analog gauge HUD
