Marvelmind Dashboard Beacon Colors and Icons
What every beacon color and icon on the Dashboard map and bottom panel means
This page is the reference for every beacon color and icon shown in the Marvelmind Dashboard - on the map, in the beacon list, and on the device buttons of the bottom panel. The background here is the same gray dotted grid the Dashboard uses for the map, because the same color is perceived differently on a white page than on the real software. Use this page to read your system at a glance.
How to read a beacon icon
34
Every beacon on the map is drawn as two concentric parts plus the device address.
Inner core - the beacon type and tracking state: blue for a mobile beacon (hedgehog), green for a stationary beacon. Problem states recolor the icon (red, orange).
Outer ring - the color of the beacon's ultrasonic frequency. The ring appears in the architecture where the beacon transmits ultrasound: a mobile beacon in NIA, a stationary beacon in IA. When the beacon only receives ultrasound, the icon is a single solid color with no separate ring.
The coordinates (X, Y, Z, in meters) are printed under the icon.

Device button on the bottom panel
Each device in the network has a button on the bottom panel of the Dashboard. Its color shows the device type and state; the checkbox on the left toggles the device on the map.
