Devo F12E Incorrect Screen Resolution was created by mustgetsomesleep
First i must say thank you all for the hard work been put in by all the deviation community , sorry for having to start a new post ! but i have looked and looked on the forum ? but i am unable to find my basic problem . Once i update my Devo F12E to the Deviation firmware the screen resolution changes so i only have around 3/4 of full view . I have tried changing the resolutions in the layout inf files but this makes no difference ! is this normal guys ?

that is definitely not normal. Maybe they changed their chipset on newer versions or possibbly a bug has snuck in (I haven't tried the F12E for quite some time) What version of the stock Walkera firmware are you using? I can't look into it right now, but I'll check that (a) it still works for me, and (b) they haven't changed the hardware. That would help me locate the issue.

Thank you PharacuredBlue i was hoping you could help . I have only had this Devo F12E since last month ! i imported it direct from overseas . This was a long awaited upgrade from my Devo 10 . I have tried several times to flash the Deviation firmware ! but always it results in this odd resolution . My Hardware is normal Ver 1.2 and I have reverted to the original Walkera 1.5a firmware !! this works perfect with regards to the resolution ??? i am more than happy to open the TX if this helps , thank you

Can you try this build:
www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/catego...lue-f12e-alt-display

Note that the installation procedure has changed. If you are using the DeviationUploader switch to the 'DFU' tab, and upload just the .dfu file.
Then reboot the Tx into USB mode (it will probably do this automatically the 1st time) and copy the devo.fs file included in the zip to the transmitter (overwrite the existing devo.fs file)

Do not use try to use DeviationUploader to install the .zip file directly.

It seems hardware related. I have a v1.3a transmitter, and the old code works fine for me there.

In the F12e drivers I wrote last year, I have 2 sets of LCD initialization code 'code1' and 'code2'. Curently we are using 'code2' in the release builds. The test code I provided to you is 'code1' (which also seems to work fine on my Tx). I think 'Code1' is the same as what is in the Walkera 1.5 firmware. I have no idea where 'code2' came from (I did write this code over a year ago). The thing is, I also don't know why I have 2 sets of code in the 1st place, so I need to go back through the code history and try to figure out if there is a reason for 'code2' to exist before I make the change permanent. If worse comes to worse, I could potentially offer both codes and let you choose as a configuration option, but I really don't want to go there.

:( Sorry PhracturedBlue but i was a little hasty with my assumption that this fixed the screen issue . It is not quite 100% correct , the screen appears to be off centre to the left and up leaving a small 5mm gap on the right hand side and about 2mm up from the bottom . As you can see from the pictures this removes the first line of txt on the far left of the screen and slightly obscures the top txt . I have reverted back to test all the standard firmwares and they all work apart from the original 1.3a this is also windowed ! it also now seems the original firmware has the same gaps on the bottom and the right . The strange thing is powering up in program mode the image is ok on the right as can be seen in my original picture . . Sorry i thought you had it there ! i should have had a better look this morning .

This is likely to take a lot of trial and error to fix since I can't duplicate the problem myself.
Can you try this firmware:
www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/catego...turedblue-f12e-test1

It won't fix the problem, but it should display a debug screen. Take a picture of that screen and send it to me.
You can press the 'EXT' button to continue booting after you've captured the screen

Okay, change of direction.
Try this:
www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/catego...dump-bootloader-f12e

It does not contain a devo.fs file. Upload it to your Tx, You should see 'Done' and then your Tx should connect to your PC via USB (you won't get the 'USB' message, just 'Done')

Now, copy the devo.fs from your transmitter, zip it up and attach it to a message here. I am hopeful it will help me identify the difference between your Tx and mine.

Note that this isn't a real firmware. You can't use it for anything other than creating the devo.fs file I need.

hmm. does the programming screen look normal (When you boot pressing 'EXT')? I am trying to emulate how that works.

Back to the basics. Try test 4:
www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/catego...turedblue-f12e-test4

This should show the alphabet in big letters.
