Devo 10/7E small UI (updated 1st post)

Hi,

I did compare the small-config with the "official" nightly and found the following differeces:

1.) in Main Page USB is missing.
2.) in Mixer page (see attached pics) the header is called channnel instead of mixer.
3.) in mixer page (see attached pics) you don't show asigned switches.
Is this intentional?

I fixed 2 more issues:

1. Layout load no header (issue #494 on BitBucket)
2. Main page config no header on 7E ("long ENT message" only shown on Devo 10). Added "Main page config" as header.

Both pushed to repo.

1. USB was removed by PB

2 & 3 are both intentional the mixer page is rewritten (mostly) and traded off switches for more lines.

On 2&3 I need more opinions. I like it this way but I'll not be affected by changes since I run my own customized version of Deviation anyway


Edit: fixed mixer page title.

Don't know what did it, but standard mixer is back. Language selection is still messed up, no accented characters in the selection screen, make for some odd visible choices, also two languages seem to be blank spaces.

I like it with more lines as it is.

How about a title like this?:
Channel - Mixer - Src

How about adding more lines in the mixer-config-page (see pic)?
There, the spinbox and their name would often fit on the same line.
But maybe that is not easily possible.

04b03 font doesn't have any accented chars. They can be patched in but I haven't tried yet and do not know if they will fit the current font height.

My target is to have this working for English at first.

Channel - Mixer - Src won't fit the large UI.

More lines is possible but again it won't fit the larger UI. If I ever decide to go for a small only fork, then yes it will happen.

I'm trying to meet PB's expectations here.

Fixed that and some more.

I had to introduce 2 new params:

'line_space' is now absolute line height
'header_widget_height' to prevent overpainting of header button on headers. smaller than 'header_height'
'line_height' is now text height.

This basically makes the large UI behave almost like before.




The small UI as defined currently (8 lines displayed) is packed together unfortunately. People can reduce the number of line from 8 to 7 and have some air between widgets if they choose so.

A 7 line small UI would look like:

Edit:
Fixed some mixer setup page issues too.

Edit2:
Played for a few minutes with the 7 line UI and I think it looks better than the 8 line. 6 lines of actual content + 1 line page header is definitely not bad. Still, I think I need to align the widget text to bottom rather than top.

Thanks!

Hi,
found minor issues:
1.) with large UI invertet values on main page are not fully displayed.


2.) in small UI the boxes in telemetry monitor do not look very pretty
I think those boxes aren't very helpful on lowres display and telemetry monitor is the only place I saw them anyway.

(1) can be solved by either replacing 5x7 font with 04b03 or incresing the height of the smallbox to 10 (from 9). My label changes impacted that.

(2) Agree, lets hear PB's opinion on this.

Using 7 lines for data output does make it similar to the default Taranis screen which also uses a header line and 7 data lines.

Using 7 lines in the telemetry screen would likely give you similar results without much hassle, it looks like it is set up for 8 field lines.

It looks all right at 10px. Changes pushed.

Definitely seeing bugs: change TX power, lose channels/mixer settings.

Will do, thanks
