I am still waiting for the M5Core battery, also the middle button B is very stiff, without looking at the screen you cannot "feel" it is it working or not. I shall open it to see if any help.

Homebrew FX Chrony display
- Thread starter DaystateRebel
- Start date
Doing a lot of research my problem may be that I run Windows 7 with an older Arduino.
So I'll need to remedy that in one way or another for the Core 2.
There's a killer Arch OS out there I need to try.

How about a All-in-one device?
An FX Crony powering an integrated low power absorbing E-Ink display?
Perfecly visible in direct sunlight and with a ON/OFF switch so you can choose to use it or not?
I'll do some testing before sharing, let me know if you like it as I do.

I like it. Just a question: is it really essential to populate the screen with gun and projectile data? The Speed, SD and ES is more important on main screen then anything else, I don't mind on second screen tho.

I agree, but this is just a porting of DaystateRebel excellent work for the TTGO. Having SD and ES displayed in real time during shots is out of my limited skills.
For me I'd like to have on screen a list of the last 10 shots, along with Min and Max, without having to go in a second page.
Don't mind the Return% or voltage either...

Looks pro! I thought it was the real FX display at first. Well done! What is the refresh rate of the E-ink?How about a All-in-one device?

That would be my setup as well if there is enough space. I do not see why anyone needs energy unless you are in the UK/EU because of their FAC rules, or for hunting. Even if hunting , better not take a shot unless you know your energy set-up beforehand...risking maiming the prey instead of killing.

I agree, people can have many uses.
For my own personal use the M5 would free up the BT channel on my tablet so I can connect a wind direction to a Strelok Pro

For me, living in Italy, knowing the power of the pellet is essential especially if I use a weakened gun under 7.5J given our restrictions

Last thing for this morning: Added compile time option to select Min, Ave, Max or ES and SD. Seems people like different things.

I like this one the most.
The last four can show you when the lead start fulling the rifling.

I posted a short video showing the board in action on Discord...
(I do not have an external server to put it on)

That refreshes perfectly fast! It looks like it came from FX like that.
Now, since you mounted it on the FX Chrono, there is really no need for BLE anymore. The FX Chrono circuit board has a serial port near the positive battery post. It spits out data. Part of that data is the speed value. Could parse the speed data out on to your e-ink with a board that uses much less energy, not the ESP-32.
Although you can also tap into the FX Chrono battery with your current setup and then you don’t need another battery for your module.
(Thanks Mendo2 for posting the video. )
