*edit* ..but to go with what I just said on the last post, it looks like Open Hardware Monitor has to be running to make the replaced .dll work.

When I first got this plugin I got the error #126 like many people do. I fixed it by finding a different download of lcd smartie that included the "DNBridge.dll" file. I am guessing my anti-virus removed it?

Next thing is the sensors were not being all decteted. Somethimes it would only show 1/4 cores and no temps. I fixed this by downloading openhardwaremonior and replacing the ddl file from that openhardwaremonior into the plugins replacing the one that was included with Sensor Bridge.

I hope this helps others as I have been wanting this for months, but could not find a working download link. I love the thought of this plugin and I am glad I finally got my LCD up and fully working! :D

Sensor Bridge plugin for LCD Smartie. This plugin is a standalone plugin
to gain access to an enormous amount of sensors in your PC. It is standalone because it does not need to gather
sensordata from another running program, such as speedfan, or AIDA64, etc.. It relies on the Open Hardware
Monitor Library to provide access to sensors directly. Super Clean


NOTE: AFAIK Sensor Bridge works with LCD Smartie 5.4.2.92 or newer only.

INSTALLATION:
Put the files SB.dll, OpenHarwareMonitorLib.dll, and msvcr71.dll in your LCD Smartie plugin folder.



USAGE: $dll(SB, [Hardware Type #], [Sensor #], [Format])

Hardware Type #:
1 = Mainboard (Voltages, Fan RPM's)
2 = SuperIO (Same as Mainboard)
3 = CPU (Per Core Clocks, Temps, Load, Power, etc..)
4 = RAM (Load, Used, Avaliable)
5 = GpuNvidia (Nvidia GPU Clocks, Temps, Loads, Fan)
6 = GpuAti (ATi GPU Clocks, Temps, Loads, Fan)
7 = TBalancer (Whatever the Tbalacer has Temps, Flow meter, etc.)
8 = Heatmaster (Stuff?)
9 = HDD (Load, used space, Remaining Life, Host writes, temps)

Sensor #:
Is the sensor index number you'll need to fish around a bit to find the one you looking for.

Format:
Is the formatting of the output. "0.0" would output the sensor value with a single digit of precision i.e 1.1, or 450.9. "0.00" would
have two digits of precision i.e. 1.13 or 450.93. "0" would have no precision i.e 1, or 450.



EXAMPLES:

Get Nvidia GPU Core temp $dll(SB,5,0,0.0) outputs "30.0" (or whatever your actual temp is)
The format "0.0" determins how the output is displayed. It uses the C# ToString Format

Another usfull feature is to display the sensor name. You do this by subsituting the word "name" in the format field:
$dll(SB,5,0,name) outputs "GPU Core Temperature"

And last but not least you can run Open Hardware Monitor (http://openhardwaremonitor.org/) to see what sensors are
availiable. Since Sensor Bridge uses the OpenHardwareMonitorLib.dll you have access to all the sensors you have with
the Open Harware Monitor program.


Thats all. I hope you may find it usfull. Your feedback is welcome, if you use it and find a bug, or need a feature added let me know.


TIPS/NOTES:
1). You must run LCD Smartie as administrator to gain access to all sensors (unless you have UAC disabled).
2). You need .NET 4.0 framework installed.
3). After the first time you run the SB plugin look at SBReport.txt in your plugins directory. It list all detected sensors, and will give you the command to access them.
4). The first time you run LCD Smartie with the SB plugin it may not work or give this error "Msvcr71.dll was not found" just close LCD Smartie, and run it again and then it will be fix for good.

Thanks for your plugin CrazyNutz! It's really great and usefull, but i got some issusies with it.
I use it on my mining rig to display information about temperture and fan speed of AMD GPU cards. Sometimes data is incorrect, it shows a random values like "23495" of temperture or fan speed on a random GPU card. I replaced OpenHarwareMonitorLib.dll to official latest, but problem is still the same. And most importantly second issue is resseting sensor settings after rebooting of Windows. I mean after each rebooting the sensor values of each GPU becomes different (like $dll(SB,5,0,0.0) becomes $dll(SB,5,3,0.0)) and i have to setting each GPU again.
Is there any solution of my problem?

That's exactly what I see.
I also can not contact any moderator to report this issue.

I'm not able to download the plugin.
Can someone upload it to a online service like transfernow.net or similar and put the link here ?

As I stated in the post on my own topic, I can't seem to contact Limbo for some odd reason... Will try something else some time in the later week. :?:

Yesterday I had a chat with Crazy Nuts unfortunately he no longer has the source code of the plugin.

Anyway I have update to the latest OpenHarwareMonitorLib.dll from Open Hardware Monitor website https://openhardwaremonitor.org/ and the values started to display.
