Dear Stormworkers,
This week's minor update brings a new component for creating dashboards, cockpits and displays!
The new Instrument Panel component compacts the existing dials and buttons into a smaller form factor, allowing you to put up to 4 on one block. This is great for IO on smaller vehicles where space is limited. Each instrument has a composite logic input and output for controlling their behaviour from a microcontroller. This component has a lot of possibilities and we're looking forward to seeing what you create with it.
There are also a number of fixes in this patch, the full list of which can be found in the changelog below.
Much Love <3
