Fixes for EdgeTX, no need for specific OTX and ETX versions, other tweaks #3

Closed pfeerick closed 2 years ago

Firstly, thanks for making this script... I had been thinking for a while that I needed a 'simple' reference for the stick commands, and nearly went the way of a couple of images stored on the transmitter, but this is much nicer :)

With EdgeTX 2.5 introducing colour themes, TEXT_COLOR should no longer be manipulated as it will effect system colours as well as the colours within the script. Hence the use of CUSTOM_COLOR instead.

The EdgeTX version of the script also works on OpenTX - the compatibility issue is more one of black and white display vs colorlcd. Also, the install location and method of access is much simpler via the tools menu. And it's possible to set the display name of the script. So I've done this as a couple of commits to help break down the changes, and also some screenshots of the send result on both EdgeTX and OpenTX. Please let me know if you want any changes made and do with as you see fit!

Happy Easter! :)

Peter:

What wonderful enhancements! Your help is much appreciated! I’ll get your code right now.

I’ve pretty much done away with all my radios and migrated to the Mambo, so I don’t have EdgeTx, but of course, even if I did it would still be 128 x 64 and B&W. So your updates really make this sweet!

Do happen to have a Mambo or radio with a 128x64 screen. I’d like to get your thoughts on another script I’ve been tinkering with (if you're at all interested) that will show switch, pot and button settings in screen, which would be helpful when switching between model and aircraft types and have poor short term memory like me.

Again, thanks for you input and expertise!

Mambo, no, but I do have both 128x64 (Radiomaster TX12, Jumper TLite, etc) and 212x64 (Frsky X9D+2019) B&W screen radios running EdgeTX also.

And yes, that does sound useful... it's what I like about Switch2 and also having model notes to remind WTH I set the switches to for different models. :) My Lua knowledge is limited (I'm more into the C++ coding of the actual EdgeTX firmware) but I'm more than happy to help out where I can, or pester some of the other Lua gurus ;)

Yeah, I’m a developer by trade, and Lua takes some getting used to….

I’ll send some code for you to review when I have something presentable.. probably in the next few days..

Thanks!

Here’s the new script (sorry for the wait)… Again, this is a utility to help a pilot remember what stick, button or pot does what depending in the model. Since it uses pages, it’ll need to go in the Tools folder. I’ve temporary called it Switch Viewer. When you run it, it’ll have three models, and use the Page button to page through each model. When you toggle a switch or button, it will show a short message on what that switch will do depending on position.

Take a look, tell me what you like and don’t like, or any other comments.

The pots don’t show any text, and I’m trying to think of the best way to handle that, as I do use them for Volume and Beeper on some models, but also Volume and VTX power on others. Still working on that, but space for more text is at a premium.

Anyway, thanks for having a look when you have time, and I look forward to your suggestion or ways to improve the code.

Cheers, and happy flying!

Hey Doug... emails through github don't keep attachments, etc...

You can send me an email via pfeerick@trashmail.fr and I'll reply back from my normal account... that is a disposable email redirect.
