Still trying to get my kers bars working on my RSS Formula Hybrid style nextion screen layout. Today I did a record of some hotlaps and then replayed it back afterwards to see what the values were, and found the following:
- KersCharge, This seems to be the total remaining in the battery, has a max value of 1, so needs to be multiplied by 100 to give a percentage for a progress bar.
- KersCurrentKJ - this seems to be the amount of energy used on the current lap as it resets to zero when the car crosses the start/finish line. Also note it maxed out at 4000 (4MJ) which is the max energy use allowed for a modern F1 car, so seems to be correct.
- Kers Input - I think this is the current percentage of ERS deployment. Again, has a max value of 1, so needs to be multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. 1 is being shown when I have my finger on the kers button, and less than 1 when the hybrid map on the car is determining how much to deploy.
- HasKers - doesn't appear to work, at least not on this car as stays at zero. I'll have to try on some kunos cars (eg Porsche 919 LMP1). Not essential in my opinion as if the car doesn't have kers then the bars would just be blank (black against black background).
- KersMaxJ - presumably meant to give the max energy the car can use per lap, but again on this car remained at zero. If this gave a value, then it could then be used with currentKJ to work out the amount remaining for the current lap.
