LLL: "Learning Lua in Lockdown" - full screen telemetry window

So with our local flying field closed due to corona, I thought I would try my hand at learning a little lua with my DS-12. I was a total lua newb before I started.

This is to go along with my Brain2 powered helis.

With inspiration from TeroS ( www.rc-thoughts.com/who/ ), Thorn ( www.thorn-klaus-jeti.de/de.html ) and dit71/dbdis ( github.com/ribid1/dbdis ), I thought I would try my hand at a telemetry app while learning lua.

Mine is not fancy like Thorn and dit71/dbdis, but I made my own design tweaks and layout to suit my taste. The layout is hardcoded, so not customizable like Thorn and dit71's apps. I like it so far.

I'm not quite finished, but when I am, I will of course upload it (but I don't know German so it will be in English). I plan on having the code fully commented so that others can read through the ca. 2000 lines of code to help them learn lua for jeti, in turn

Cheers,
Nick

Great job Nick
Looking forward to seeing the finished app, will you incorporate more colour options?
I have also tried to learn lua, but I had to back off as my brain began to hurt.

Cheers

That's a good idea, looks great.

With kind regards
Thorn

I don't plan on coloured backgrounds on the individual telemetry panels, like Thorn has been doing recently. Not that there is anything wrong with that of course, just that it's not for me
