Hi everyone,
Lately I've been too busy with the house and my pregnant wife to get to modelbuilding but now I've found some time to get at least something done.
Recently I finally got my head around a proper set-up for the touchscreen in the transmitter.
In this thought, which has now been translated into a visual design to which I only need to add the controls towards the boat itself, I made a fundamental design change regarding the use of the joysticks.
At first I planned on giving every joystick it's own function, I changed this to having 4 rows of 3 joysticks which will have software controlled functions.
For Well Enhancer this means that all these 12 joysticks will have 3 functions for each direction.
This saves a hole lot of on/off engine controls and saves at least 4 wires for each ROV which will result in a thinner wire attached to it.
Anyways, below some pictures of the software, please keep in mind that this currently is only visual, the text of the on/off functions changes but that is all at the moment.
Making this function is the next step.
The 2 sliders will be the only PWM functions that will not be controlled by a joystick.
All engine and rudder statuses have been set to 0, currently this is just plain text, it will be controlled by the joysticks at some point.
Greetings Josse
