Objects to be placed at display: Limitations

Hello everyone.

I have a doubt.
How many type objects "small box" I can put in same time in the 8S radio screen?

I'll explain:

- Radio Devo 8S.
- RX802.
- Telemetry walkera WK-CTL01-D.
- Ikon flybarless control.
- Trex 500 DFC.

What I need:

- View on the screen:
small box: ch1 / ch2 / ch4 / ch6 / timer1 / volt1 / rpm11
big box: CH3.

When I try to add a seventh small box and then try to save this profile, then to return to the main screen to see the newly placed object is deleted.

To profile the heli HK-500, I can put 09 small box and 02 big box with no problem.

Does the limitation is due to the use of more mixers in Trex500Dfc profile?

Devention Version: v4.01

Software works ok, I have programmed 03 helis: HK-500 flybar / Mini-cp and Trex500-DFC and made flight tests - everything is fantastic. is impressive ease of features that this software offers to program.

You are to be congratulated for the excellent job done.

Cheers!

In deviation, tere is a limit on the total number of "things" you can display. Small boxes, big boxes, trims, images - everything counts toward that limit. Try removing something else.

If you're actually using Walkera's devention software, then this doesn't apply.

Oops, sorry about that. I put wrong firmware name: I talked about Deviation.
mwm; as you can see, this issue does occur only at Trex500Dfc profile. At HK500 profile I can put more than 6 small boxes.
Anyway, I will proceed as oriented..

Tks!

There is a limit to all elements in the screen you cannot have more than a total 27 elements. I tried in the nightly build and found that the no of boxes (big or small) can be more than 8.

richardcli;

Thank you by your efforts and information provided.

So, maybe there a "bug" caused by this profile?

The switches mapping are:

RUD DR: Ikon flight bank selection 1/2
ELE DR: TImers Reset and Ikon flight bank selection 3
Gear: Ikon rudder gain
Flight Mode: Flight mode
AIL DR: Throttle Hold

My thought about to put those small boxes at display is to verify the sticks operation before start a new flight (for safety purposes).

At HK500 profile, I can do this without any issue.

I did the same settings in the emulated nightly build module and everything worked normally.

In your opinion the nightly builds firmware releases are safe for use in actual flights?

Cheers.

I have not yet tried a real flight with the current nightly build, however I am planning to test it thoroughly and see is there are any more bugs.

But I have heard that many other has tried to use the nightly and confirmed to be stable. So I think it is up to your choice to try it out or not.
