This is just a rough draft that I hope to refine more and release on the farm.

I had good help from my friend with the sinus curve and the bouncing formula for what I initially asked here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5

Very nice! If I can figure out how to connect with the Beaglebone... this could come in useful as a display!

Thank you!
:D

Looks great!
I'll think about some ways to use it.
The first idea that crossed my mind is for some web app to test net speed. This seems to be the best fit so far...
Another idea, would be to make it a widget and pop it up if some procedure sucks a lot of time to finish.
Something like:
'--- Some time sucking loop...
While...
  If lngTimerNow - lngTimerStart > 100 Then
    AniGauge.Show
  Else
    AniGauge.Close
  End If
Wend
In DirLister, there are this kind of operations that take a long time. While i have the mechanism to show something that gives a clue on what's happening inside, I'm looking forward for better solutions, that might reduce the pressure on system resources.
Any idea would be a great help.
DirLister is available on Gambas Farm: ID=755.
For the widget version, the defalult settings would be nice to be "Centered" so when it pops up, it goes into the center of the Form, overlapping the other controls, to make obvious that "Hey dude, that's going to take some time, so, bear with me!" :D
