How to show Vertical Speed [Feature Request / suggestion]

[Divert]

Many people have complained that the small bar that appears next to the depth number when ascending is hard to read, it's too small and I could not agree more. Here is my suggestion.

when making an ascent, we are looking at the depth number. Why not also have a color code for vertical speed, changing the color of the number or its contour?

Depth number in white = 0-5 meters /min
Depth number in green = 5-10 meters /min
Depth number in yellow = 11-13 meters / min
Depth number in Red = 14 + meters / min

Or something like that.

Just an idea that would make ascents easier as we are always looking at the depth number when ascending.

Sounds like an interesting idea. 0-5m is quite slow => we will have to improve the speed measurement to avoid that the OSTC turns into a disco maschine in case the diver moves his arm but that should not be a big problem.

I will keep you updated once the feature is implemented

Yes I thought about that, the actual numbers are irrelevant at this moment. It is the idea of how to implement it.

Maybe as you said, 0-3m/min should not do anything to avoid waves running on top of you from also triggering the response.
Another solution is to only change color if you have 2 or 3 consecutive seconds of ascent. therefore not triggering with hand movements or waves above the surface.
