Homebrew FX Chrony display

[bigHUN]

Don't understand the question, there is a function to flip the display. I looked at your bang good link and didn't see a gyro in your board. So I don't think there is a way to flip the display automatically according the reading of the gyro. So you need to flip it yourself. Im'm not an expert so I could be wrong.

Yes, in the menu there is the option to flip the screen (on-off) but that doesn't do nothing.

on my epaper it didn't flip on 1st setting but flipped when i set it back (ie, flip off)

Hi, I was testing the new M5Stack display, unfortunately I have an error and I can't figure out where I'm going wrong.
This is the error message:
C:\Users\Mauro\Documents\Arduino\FXChrony_M5STICK_PLUS-main\FXChrony_M5STICK_PLUS\FXChrony_M5STICK_PLUS.ino:2:10: fatal error: M5StickCPlus.h: No such file or directory
#include <M5StickCPlus.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Compilation error: M5StickCPlus.h: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I thank you for your reply, I will try the whole procedure again.
Thank you

I got my e-paper screen working, modifying now the gun and projectile libraries

Did it work?

I have loaded the "fake shot server" on my M5Stack Core,
the e-paper changed the screen from "searching" to "waiting for shot"
but the 3 buttons do nothing.
If I push the red (power) button on the side = reboots the e-paper screen.
I can confirm the wifi connection between two units is alive,
only don't see where or how to map a button for a triggering the fake shot?

Why the pellet menu is locked to "King Hvy MkII" not possible to choose an other pellet ?
Trying to add .30 cal pellet in 'pellet.h' makes crash the module after the end of the compile process (the M5 doesn't want to boot).
Thank you

You will need to show us the modifications you made to the pellet.h file.

@Dremo59 You are missing a comma at the end of the King line. AND remove the comma after the last entry.

 

[Racenviper]

To me a I see lots of spaces, it could be just the web page. No space, it is quote, comma, quote -> Trophy","H&N, every where else it is quote comma space then quote or numeric variable. Just what I see. I gave up on editing programs years ago.

Thank you all for a great help. I got it working. This is a "fake shot" to mimic the screen, I needded to fit a max number of fonts possible in a limited space.

I have arranged the screen my way.
I have only two guns, the Impact and the Leshiy2, but I have a conversion kit and I can share six liners in between the two guns.
So for example in cal.25 I have x600 and x700 liners, and these are in Twist Rate 1:18, 1:24 and 1:27.
Each TR need its own projectile speed to be tuned.
I finished the enclosure design, will print the prototypes somewhere next week, winter here in Canada, I am not in hurry at least until April no shooting outdoors.

Awesome work ! i'm a bit in the same case of you. I 'd like to arrange my M5Cplus and don't know how to add in the Joules in display because i'm working with the "FXChrony_M5STICK_PLUS V6" sketch (this sketch is perfect for me, only the joules are missing ) THANK YOU

work

Hi,
yes thanks now everything works fine.

I thank you
Mauro

 

[Dremo59]

So i found where i was wrong . a last obscur point to me ""
Name, Manufacturer, caliber in inches, caliber in mm, profile (speed range), shot string length" what does it means by shot string length ? value from 1 to 20 max... what does this parameter please ?

 

[bigHUN]

Shot string length = what number of shots to calculate the ES and SD.
Initially I set mine to a Mag size.
Then realized and change it to 4, that is an average number of shots the Reg or springs need to adopt a new elbow greasing wit a tune.
Also, I was testing the text on the screen, and resetting the shot # through the menu/settings/... is much longer and sensitive for clicks/double clicks.

 

[Dremo59]

Thank you very much for your explanation and example @bigHUN . It is clear because of you. I think i've read this thread from page 1 to 22, 10 times Big thanks to the owner of the code too @DaystateRebel and @fe7565 .
Well maybe it is the reason why i haven't the same results compared the phone App and the M5 ( speed and joules are close but not the same ) I will try to decrease like you (maybe '4 ) will works.....the R% bored me too .....In any case, guys here are so smart.

 

[bigHUN]

You can choose to flip it in the settings menu.
I'll try it ASAP to be sure it works also on my E-Ink display.

I got it working, and I am very pleased with the GUI...

but, when I flip the screen in the Settings menu, shifts the entire screen down for that small amount I circled on top corner.

What line number shall I look for in the Ver2.ino if I can move it up a bit ???

 

[bigHUN]

........This porting is based On last TTGO code from DaystateRebel.

How can I change the ES/SD currently two decimal places to show only one decimal place ? What line number in the V2 program defines that?
