THAT would be very interesting indeed. I have a 4" diagonal TFT colour touch screen with 480 x 320 res that I'll put on a RPi when I get a round tuit. I'm planning to run XK8000 on that, but a colour or monochrome eInk touch screen would most likely be more readable in the cockpit. Check this out: https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/SkyView-Pi It's not completely what you're after, but it's getting there. Agreed! This one is even better: https://www.waveshare.com/4.2inch-e-Paper-Module-B.htm and this is better still, though not e-Ink: https://www.waveshare.com/product/ra...-oled/4.3inch- dsi-lcd.htm It is dual colour (black/red on white) and the size is pretty much ideal. Ideally I'l find a screen thats almost the same size ad thr Medion (3.5" screen but wide bezel (4.4" x 3.2" - 80 x 105mm) Its mounted on a flexi mount in front of my panel. Anything bigger than that and I start to loose sight of my radio and backup vario behind it. I fly a Libelle, so having stuff mounted where it sticks out past the panel edge is not an option. However, to control LK8000 (or XCSoar) I could really do with a touch screen. So far, the best screen I've seen is this: Pimoroni HyperPixel - 4.0" https://thepihut.com/collections/ras...cts/hyperpixel .... I got one to experiment just before they went out of stock in early March and AFAIK haven't yet reappeared, but that may be COVID rather than lack of interest in making any more. BTW both XCSoar and LK8000 have been ported to the RaspberryPi, which is why I keep banging on about that hardware, and Pimoroni do some very nice addons, such as a PSU board that supplies 5v regulated from a 1S LiPo battery and can charge it from an external 5v supply while also driving the Pi. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

If you want a 3.5” transflective screen, just get a Nano4 or a Colibri X.

Still, AFAIK, based on WinCE which has been obsolete & unsupported by M$ for a long time now. Oudie users do not care about the operating system, because it is hidden from the user. If it is obsolete and unsupported, so what? It works, day after day, year after year. |

I understand the word and meaning of FREE
Free is great! I need, want and will use more Free stuff! But I gladly pay for my Seeyou software stuff Seeyou desktop is NOT free but you only need to buy it once. Seeyou mobile on a Oudie or gasp, Ipaq, or ?, only needs to be purchased once and they both work together easily. Want to make your own task and make up turnpoints? No problem, a child can do it. Forget to keep you Oudie charged all winter, No problem it retains all of its memory when you recharge it. Want to print up your tasks you've made up? Its easy. Want to analyze your and friends flights together? Easy. The stuff works and I gladly support those guys. So you tech types keep cobbling sh*t together and have fun on the ramp when it all goes dark, sounds like fun, I just don't know jack about tech. I want something idiot proof.

If it is obsolete and unsupported, so what? It works, day after day, year after year. And Seeyou and Seeyou Mobile continue to be developed and supported. The Oudie IGC has an all day battery, has a decent size for the cockpit highly visible screen, is approved as a logger to the highest level, is physically as well as electronically robust and communicates easily with Seeyou Cloud. I can see the appeal of cheaper but Oudie IGC is still the gold standard. SYM is highly customisable for those who want to, or the easiest to keep up to date for those who prefer it easy. |
