Installation and software:
As you’d expect, installation is straightforward, as all you need to do is download the latest version of WigiDash Manager Software from this link. Then simply connect the USB plug to your WigiDash and your PC. Please note that the software must be “open” before you can use it, otherwise it will simply be in standby mode. By default, this external control panel will offer you three pages. You can add as many as you like, and simply sweep the screen from left to right to navigate between them.
The default profile includes a whole range of widgets you may need. This default profile can be used as a basis for your own needs. For example, you can easily delete or replace a widget . You can also easily edit or relocate them. In fact, taking a look at the “editing” mode will help you understand how a widgetworks.
The good news is, as we said, you’re not limited to a single page – you can add as many as you like. So you can create one for monitoring your PC, another as an audio player for your Spotify account, one for displaying your stream chat, and so on. As you can see from our screenshots, we’ve created a monitoring page via AIDA64 on page 4.
You’ll then have the opportunity to choose the default profile or load one of your own. For example, thanks to the Elmor Labs Discord, profiles are already available for download for AIDA64, giving you a good starting point. After that, it’s up to you to modify it as you see fit.
The only “catch” with AIDA64 is that you need a paid license to use it. If you do, all modifications are made directly via the software.
You’ll be able to choose your screen background, select the probes or information to be displayed, choose the font size, typeface and position on the screen. In short, even today, after weeks of use, I’m still making discoveries. And that’s what we’ll be emphasizing: that this is a tool with almost no limits.
Getting to grips with it is very intuitive, but to go further, you’ll have to test, try and sometimes turn to the Discord to find the answer to a function you’d like to use or implement.
As you can see from our screenshot, when we go to the “edit” section, we find other widgets already pre-installed, such as AIDA64 (which requires a license), an audio visualizer, the clock and date, the Hotkey, HWinfo, the image of your choice and finally a stopwatch that can also act as a timer.
Returning to the Hotkey function, this is where you can create a personal widget. This means choosing an image or icon from the available library, choosing its size, position, text (size, font, color) and, of course, assigning a function to this new widget , as you can see in our screenshots.
Afterwards, we focused on AIDA64 for monitoring our test configuration, but as you can see, this external control panel for PCs offers many, many options to meet user requirements.
