Oh, this doesn't work for plane right now? I bought a few of those oleds but never got around to using them. I assumed they were working. Aaaand now I get to use them!

Hi Tom, they work well in ArduCopter but the parameter NTF_DISPLAY_TYPE doesn't appear in Plane so I guess the code isn't there.

Naterater commented 6 years ago

I thought precision hawk had the feature built in to their airframes. I never flew one though, so maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it was a special version.

@GrahamDyer There's nothing in the OLED drivers that make copter special, it should work on all vehicles equally. I also see it in the auto-generated parameters list for plane here so the source says that parameter exists for plane so please double and triple check.

ntf The NTF_DISPLAY_TYPE parameter isn't there. I'll load the latest version of AP and check again...

Hmm, could this be specific to the AUV-X1? It works for me on the Cube.

GrahamDyer commented 6 years ago

OK, I managed to get it working. Seems the version of AP that I was using didn't have it. Apologies. Thank you for looking at this.
