Switch Position Custom Telemetery Display

Post by skipper3203 »

Hello all,
I have been trying to get my FRsky X-Lite to display some key info

I am using my transmitter for Radio Sailing so some of my request may sound strange:

If you divide the small screen into 2 column and 43cells down (like excel)
Cell A1: BBt:Timer 1 Cell B1: RTm: Timer 2
Cell A2: Sail:Winch % (like throttle) Cell B2: Rudder Steering Map Rud: EXP/LIN/70%R
Cell A3: Sail Control Map Sail: Beating/LIN/Running Cell B3: Sail Fine Tune SFT: ON/OFF

I have got curves and custom mixes linked to Switches and I would like to display names to show what mode I am in:
My mapping is like this:

Switch A [3pos switch] Middle Sail Winch Curve 1/Up Sail Winch Curve 2/Down Sail Winch Curve 3
What I would like on LCD is Sail:<mode as switched>
Switch B [3pos switch] Middle Rudder Linear/Up EXPO/ Down 70% rates
What I would like on LCD is Rud:<mode as switched>
Switch C [2pos switch] Sail Fine Tune:ON/OFF
What I would like on LCD is SFt:<mode as switched>

I am struggling to figure out how to make it work
can anyone give me a clue/script how to do something like this?
Thanks for your time in advance guys
regards Tony

Sorry for the slow response, I thought someone would chime in...then forgot about your request.
I don't think I understand what you want, ... or else what you are asking for is not feasible.
The screen is only 128x 64 pixels. The smallest size character is 7 pixels high by 5 wide.
therefore you can only get 26 characters by 8 lines.

A lua script can show what you functions you want, but not on a 2 column by 43 rows as characters using the smallest available font.
