Feature request - Increased tank resolution settings for GX Tank 140

Beta testing Venus OS beta testing

Problem: The default tank voltage resolution in the UI is 0.1v
Why is it a problem: For some sensors the difference between empty and full can be less than 1v - below 2.5v or so the resolution in 0.1v increments gets progressively worse - if the voltage range is 0-0.6v for example, a step of 0.1v represents a whopping 16% change in capacity.
Solution: Increase the resolution for the voltage reading on the UI, and the min/max values to two decimal places.

It appears based on this archived thread, if you obtain root/ssh access to the device this is possible to do via the CLI using dbus-spy, but not via the UI. It would be good to bring this into the UI.

Edit: using dbus-spy you can actually set it to more decimal places than you would ever need. This has solved my immediate issue but this would be really nice to bring into the UI, especially on v2.

Hey @zindello , yes - we’re changing this. Thank you for the suggestion!

(I’ll already mark this thread as solved, just so I onow to not have to look at it again).
