Dial Display LUA app

Hallo Harry,

is it possible to reset the values with a switch?

Hello Maik, I'll jump in here ...

I am assuming you mean reset the min and max values? If so then I did think about that when writing the code. I would be an easy thing to add and I agree could be very useful.

The only reason I hesitated is that pilots tell us that they are running out of switches to assign to app, they use them for other more important flight-control functions. It would make the most sense to allow a separate switch for each value .. but that might be a lot of switches! The other alternative is to have one switch reset all of the mins and maxes .. which I think might be ok .. but let me know what you think.

Please let me know if I understood your post correctly, or if I misunderstood ... If I did understand correctly I can incorporate this in the next version.

Hi,

would it be possible to stop the displayed data when throttle is stopped? So one could see the plot after the flight and it would not "run away" with zero data.

Interesting idea. I'll put it on the list for the next version! I'd probably implement it as a switch .. and then you could assign the throttle to it using the new "proportional threshold" (softkey 1) in the Jeti control setup .. then you could make it anything you like (throttle, regular switch, logic switch, etc).

I worked on another app a year or so ago that could take shapshots of multiple telemetry values and controls at selected moments in flight and save them for viewing after landing .. it was a "flight engineer" app that was designed to help with the setup of twin-engine aircraft .. but it was not finished.

Maybe something like that in the Dial app would be interesting...

thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

yes, assigning a switch is a good ideal! Normally the throttle-stick already has an assigned switch, mostly for the timer. So one could use that switch to start and stop the displayed graph.

I tried it with the displayed voltage for an indoor-flyer and it was quite interesting to see how voltage drops under load. Thanks for your efforts!

Hi Dave,

Yes, that‘s correct. I don‘t power off the transmitter between the flights.
Im only flying Heli with Flybarless-Systems, so i don‘t need the Trim-Keys. I use them as a switch, f.e. To reset a Timer.

It would be great, if i can use a switch to reset the Min/Max-Values after a flight.
