Ijust did a few tests. With normal callbacks, i can get down to around 100 ms (which is not perfectly smooth). With clientside callbacks, i can get to updates around 10 ms, which looks smooth to be. I posted an example on the use of extendData in your stack overflow thread.

Note that the 100 ms i mentioned before was for my setup, it may vary depending on network speed, hardware and update complexity. In general, for anything faster than 1s refresh rate, i would prefer client side updates.


Hello , I am new to dash, I am currently stuck at a point. I need to stream the video on dashboard and then pause the video with the help of stop button and then wants to save that paused frame of video in my local directory. I am able to stream the video but I am unable to put a stop button in ordert to pause the video and simultaneously save this frame to my local directory. Below is my code. It will be a great help if any help is provided.

import dash

from dash.dependencies import Output, Input, State

import dash_core_components as dcc

import dash_html_components as html

import cv2

import numpy as np

from dash.exceptions import PreventUpdate

import plotly.express as px

from PIL import Image

app = dash.Dash()

server = app.server


This most likely has been talked about before? The sensor in the center of the dash doesn't turn the headlights on soon enough. Has to be pretty dark before they come on. This is a fix that I used. I removed the sensor. I used a small flat blade pocket screw driver to push under each end to release the clip. I ground the blade real thin and smoothed with emory paper so not to scratch the dash. I cleaned the sensor with rubbing alcohol. Set the sensor in a small plastic cap to keep it from falling over. I used flat black paint. I sprayed one thin coat. Let dry. Used a paper towel to rub the over spray off, leaving it semi shiny. Looks just like OEM when installed. I did put too much paint on the first try. Rubbing alcohol and a rag will remove it. Now the lights come on when the sky is glumy and overcast. I've had it painted for three weeks seems to do what I wanted it to. If it turns out, the lights come on too often I can remove some or all the paint. 2013 Edge SEL


I had posted about a month or so ago about the same complaint, the auto lights not coming on soon enough. I was going to try and find the top cover of the sensor in a junk yard and try making some type of cover for it. Something made out of a mesh material which would block some of the light to allow it to turn on sooner.


I like your idea better. I didn't think the top cover part would just pop off with a screwdriver. I was afraid I would have to get under the dash to remove it. Thanks for the tip and hopefully in the next several weeks I can get to this.


The unit will pop out if you push the end clips in with a thin small flat blade screwdriver. Slide screwdriver under either left or right side of sensor get one side up, push other side clip in. Pull sensor up a few inches, disconnect wire. Just squeeze clip.


Nightshades would probably work very good. The only problem I see it states the paint is almost impossible to remove. The cheap flat black I used will come off with rubbing alcohol and some work. No damage to the plastic. I know because I sprayed too much on the first time. Took it all off and started over. Just one quick spray across the top of the sensor. Let dry overnight, buff the overspray off with paper towel or cloth. You can't tell buy looking the sensor has been painted. I practiced with other items to get the pattern I wanted.


Update on this fix.. I've noticed on very dark overcast days the lights will come on ( that's good ) but if the sun peeks out and shines on the front of the car the lights will go off. Sun hides again, lights will come back on. Could be annoying to someone you a following.. So in this case ( rare ) I turn the lights on manually. This fix isn't perfect. Maybe that's why ford made the sensor the way they did??????


Help! Our 2004 Freightliner Columbia started hissing air from behind the dash when the husband stepped on the brakes. Yikes! The dash is now torn apart and the air seems to be coming from the back of this "sensor/??". (See the attached picture, yellow arrow points to the item in question.) What is this sensor/valve? Why so many of them? We are looking for any clues as to what is going on.


Lots of sensors. It could be low air warning, stop light activation. If it is leaking between the "collar" and the plastic, replace. If it is leaking where threaded into the block, maybe it has loosened. You may get lucky and a deep well socket will fit.


Turn the key to "On", whichever air gauge doesn't work is connected to the leaking sensor. It's probably either 1 of the low pressure alarm switches, or a gauge sending unit. There's a collection of them, due to monitoring 2 separate air systems, with backups for safety. Unthread or disconnect the Push to Connect fitting and replace it. This might be a Freightliner specific part, but other brand dealers might have it, if one's closer.


Ah...so it's a sensor that feeds info to an air gauge. Thanks Darryl&Rita. I have a call into a truck place about 50 miles away. But if it is just giving info to a gauge, I'm assuming it won't hurt to drive the RV this way until we get to a bigger town.


I have a 99 century, changed several of those switches before i figured out it was actually the manifold that was leaking so changed the whole thing out. Anyway, the attached diagram helped me figure things out. Not sure if it will cover the 04' but worth a look. I think i just used some small channel locks and i removed the one below it first. Good luck!


Thinking it's your cruise control cut out sensor. It will only leak air when you push on the pedal. It kills the cc when you touch the brake pedal, pretty cheap part but if your cruise still works and shuts off when you touch the brake then it's probably just leaking at the threads which is either just loose or the manifold is cracked. Just make sure you get the right switch to replace. They all look the same but some are normally open and some are normally closed. Good luck


I have an FLD120 that developed the same issue, it was the sensor that disengages the cruise control when you step on the brakes, they are the most common one to fail. They also built the truck around it. It took me 4-5 hours to replace it. And thankfully the White dealer near Iron Mountain, MI actually had one in stock. I now carry a spare but have zero desire to replace it a second time.


driving to work this morning, noticed the dash and nav was in the night mode. The sun was out and ambient was well above being dark outside. Finally, the dash lights came up to daylight mode. Where is this sensor located. Wondering if snow was covering it, giving the computer a false read?


If you happen to have one of those carpet cash covers, you can inadvertently cover the sensor if the cover moves or the hole in the cover is not properly centered over the sensor. Then the sensor thinks it is night time.


Friend of mine kept tossing his hat on dash, turning the lights on. Every time he took it to dealer he'd get out and put his hat on. Dealer could not duplicate issue, cause buddy was wearing his cowboy hat. Was his first truck with the sensor... 3rd time, the technician happen to see him get out of truck and he put 2 and 2 together.


assume since the weather temps have not been above freezing for three weeks, the sensors are frozen, or there is an electrical isssue with the truck. when the switch light is on, random false alarms, mostly the fronts. sometimes straight ahead sensor, or right side sensor shows on the dash picture.. usually with nothing close enough to cause the alert? the sensors are possessed or are a POS...


I'm sorry for the recent concerns you've experienced with your Silverado. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. As we rely greatly on our vehicles to get to and from work, I can only imagine the frustration this has caused you given the Silverado is your work truck. Please let us know if we can provide you with any further assistance, we're happy to help!


Mine has started doing this after I had disconnected the battery to install a CAI. It's really quick to switch to night time (dim) mode but it now takes 2-3 minutes to switch back to daylight (bright) mode. Seems overly sensitive to any darkness. Other than being an inconvenience while driving when I can't see the DIC or the big display for a few minutes, it's a bigger PITA as the backup camera is practically useless when the display is dimmed out. Anybody know a way to make it switch to daylight mode faster?


Still having issues with mine. Sometimes the headlights and interior sensors not in sync or bass ackwards. As much as I hate to say it, it may be time for another visit to the dealership so they can tell me again that there's nothing wrong with it.


With advanced multiple exposure technology, A119V3 offers a greater range of light levels to restore real life image quality and solve over exposure issues at night to clearly capture car license plate numbers.


With the built-in G-sensor, the camera can automatically lock the video when it detects shaking or collision, preventing important files from being overwritten during loop recording. There are three sensitivity levels for the G-sensor: low, medium, and high.


Dashcams require a memory card that can withstand heavy writing cycles. A high-endurance card, designed especially for heavy use and write-intensive applications, is extremely critical for dash cam recording.


Cheap cards, the main cause in most unexplainable recording issues, have poor performance in non-stop writing endurance and are less likely to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures.
