Hi rbe2012,
I just tested your mod, it's very nice and I understand that it can be usefull in Devos with color screen, but unfortunatly I think that it's not portable on low resolution B&W screens
.
Anyway you've made a good job. Congratulation.

I think also that (may be) it will be good idea to define which kind of switches has the target radio in target/devoX/target_defs.h?

Domcars0, I do not agree about b/w screen. At least we should give it a try using no/normal/inverted icons.
I think the second is better, cause this way, users can do want they want.rbe2012 wrote: To support 128x64x1 we first should change the toggle object from guiLabel_t to guiImage_t as I have seen in the repos from domcars0 and suvsuv. Let's talk about how to do this...
For the ToggleIcons I reduced the variety of useable input sources. Instead of using "rud dr" and "!rud dr" (respectivly "rud dr1", "rud dr0", "!rud dr1" and "!rud dr0") I only offer "Rudder DR". This is because the values written above can be used when setting icons on value 0 and/or value1. So there is no necessarity for me to distinguish (and you have less clicks).
Do you agree and want it this way? Alternatively I could allow all the values we had before and calculate a litte to show everything correct. Both is possible, it's a question of what is useful and needed.

One of the challenges is the code compatibility across targets

Hi rbe2012,
Yes, it's me who declared the issue on your repository...
Hope that PB will give the correct answer to your new thread.

Hiya Gents!
I look at the screen while setting up the controller, just before I fly and when I land. ( I have some suggestions about timers and alarms, but not in a hurry to ask for more features just yet!)
I don't think we need to see all the switches at once, but to be able to quickly recognize that TH is on, or that you are in fmod2 so that you can avoid any disasters when you take off! IF you are concerned with sizing, I think that 3 or 4 icons at once is more than enough if the user could choose which ones were important to them or their needs similar to how you choose your current switches (1-4) now.
I cant contribute much in the progression of this topic, but I am more than willing to field test anything on devo10 if needed! As a bit of a noob, I can perhaps be a closer representation of the "general public"
Cheers!

Hi Again,
Sorry to be a nuisance but ...
Maybe the same functionality could be achieved for less effort by using a text formula that users can input themselves. This way you guys don't have to worry about language files, or making beautiful icons for b/w screens and everybody gets what they need and want?
IF you could define 2 or 3 switches to a text status summary then you don't have any space or icon issues for us monocromerz, just keep the current icons and switch setup plus something like this...
THx ON + DR low + FMOD0 = "READY!"
THx OFF +DR low + FMOD0 = "FLY!"
THx OFF +DR low + FMOD1 = "3D!"
THx OFF +DR Hi + FMOD1 = "Crazy 3D!"
THx OFF +DR low + FMOD2 = "WTF!"
THx OFF +DR Hi + FMOD2 = "OMG WTF!"
I certainly wouldn't complain if icons end up working in low rez MonoC, but a status summary might be visually more effective for our lil' screens vs. effort required
Thanks!
