Custom Display Units

Hello, I just came across deviation and have been really impressed.

I have deviation 5.0.0 loaded on my devo 7e and have begun configuring the main page. I have it configured such that the thrust value is displayed in "Box1". My question is, is it possible to change the display units of the thrust command (or any other output) to be something other than [-100, 100]%. Ideally, the display value could be translated with something simple like a scale factor or linear curve. I apologize if this question has been already asked (I did a few searches) or if this is the wrong board.

Thanks,
Nate

How flexible is the rescaling? I was hoping for [-2000, 2000] for one channel, [-20, 20] for another.

The typical virtual channel set up for a 0% to 100% view is below. You are just changing the way the value is displayed, so you have to take the channel 3 (throttle) output as your source, then scale and offset that value. Change your scalar and offset and display this channel in the box.:

I was able to create a complex mixer using this with several Mux type "mult" on a fixed 125 value (up to 10 mixers), but in reality the box would display from -297% to 297% or 0 to 327%. No matter how many more times I tried to multiply, the value showed 327%.

Is there another alternative to show up to 2000? Is the % always shown for channel values?

I ended up hacking in the ability to specify both the scale factor and sprintf format from model.ini which suits my needs perfectly. github.com/nknotts/deviation/tree/display-scale

I'm not sure if this has much utility upstream. If people find this useful, I can issue a pull request.

I've built and tested for the 7E and the windows 7E emulator.

As is, the options are only available via hand editing the model.ini file. I'm not quite sure how/where these options would appear within the gui.

Are there other options that are ini only? Would a feature be accepted without being exposed in the ui?

I was not aware of this. I will investigate.
