VarioSetting.h and Tutorial #43

Open thomaslc66 opened 2 years ago

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work and what you've done so far.

I've some questions and things I've not fully understood.

In your tutorial (Configuration) you said:

So in VarioSettings.h set your Pilot name and Glider name.

Open the SetVarioParameters sketch. Compile and upload it inside your variometer.

So I've made some changes in VarioSettings.h and then I'm wondering which files do I need to put in my vario, the hex one? should I rename them? Should they replace the FIRM.hex?

So I've added all 3 of them, even the .ino that seemed a bit not necessary, then started the vario face down heard 3 beeps but the changes were not applied.

Could you please go back to your tutorial and edit a little bit? I've also seen that there is nowhere where do you tell that flashing the card must be done first, so if you start by assembling your vario then you're screwed.

Also in the Hardware when you plug the screen we don't see very well the orientation of the screen and also which wire is not connected. Hopefully, everything is in the schematics but if you are not used to schematics it could be a bit hard to understand.

Thank you for your answer and hope my feedback will help to improve this awesome toll.

Cheers

Thomas
