Hallo Trekkys,
here my first CMS.
Its basically made for Hangglider Pilots.
It has at the Moment 5 Screens, i call them Views.
The Fonts are made from MaleSMurf, i hope it was allowed to use them ?

The User "gdpno69" has made a modified Version of this CMS
You ´find it on Page 3 of this Threat with Time stamp:
Mon 28 Sep, 2009 17:32:54
http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3177&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=38

Short Description.
Common in all views:
Top left is the Name of the View "Windview,Climbview,Perfview,Altiview and Targetview"
Top right is the GPS Stautus.
Next Line left Time, right Waypoint Name.
At the Bottom a Status Line.
The Vertical Speed is Calculated by Hand,to overcome the TB Bug with the Internal GPS.
Glideratio is shown if Vertical Speed is at least -0.3m/s

Description of each View:
Windview:
When you fly some smooth Circles the Script try to detect Windspeed and Direction.
In the upper Part you see Speed over Ground and Course,
in the lower Part Windspeed and Direction,when the Script has found it.
Otherwise -1.
Statusline shows how old is the Windcalculation.

Climbview:
SOG,
Distance to Waypoint,
AVG Vario over 5 Samples
Altitude.

Perfview (experimantely)
If the Script knows the Windspeed and Direction it trys to calculate
youre Speed through the Air.
Then it trys to Calculate youre Gliderade though the Air.
If Wind not known both -1
next Line again Avg vario then Altitude.

Altiview
shows different Altitudes,easy to understand.

Targetview
is made in Italy by "gdpno69"
It shows dist2WP,
Altitude,
Course as slider,
Gliderate over Ground calulated over 10 Samples,
Dir. to WP al slider,
Altitude of Waypoint,
and maybe the next Version
required Gliderario to reach the WP.(If Kruch give us a new Version with HECL Access to wp-alt and so on.At the Moment alway 0.

Statusline shows the Filling Level of the 60 Sample FIFO.

2FView
Showing best speed to fly calculated on the polare, wind and "downwind"

All in One view
showing all important information in one screen

This CMS is not much testet,if you find a Bug report it here.
Helpfully is a NMEA Log of TB.

Hi ThomasT!

Absolutely great theme - THANKS A LOT for the effort!!!

Building on your and MaleSMurf's work, I took the liberty of adding another screen/view to your theme.

Since I don't like switching screens in-flight, I was aiming to get all essential information for XC paragliding on one screen.

From top to bottom
* Time, next waypoint, distance to next waypoint
* Waypoint alti, bearing (azi in trekbuddy slang - I'm used to the Garmin wording, though)
* Required glide ratio, heading (course in trekbuddy slang)
* Analog vario
* Speed and haeding
* Digital vario
* Altitude, glide ratio
* Wind speed and direction
* wind-status, sat, fix, status

The result works quite well for me.
Let me know what you think...

Attached the additional/changed files
1) cms.air16.xml, air_panel16.png: Added view
2) air.hcl: Very slightly modified version of thomast's air.hcl: Changed only one line so that changing the vario axis works also in the new view.

Cheers,
Troubadixx.

Hallo thomast,

ich hätte noch 2 Fragen - since I don't speak HECL (yet) Smile

Please don't be harsh on me if I misinterpreted something and below am writing BS Smile

In your theme, for the "analog" as well as for the digital vario, with air::climb-05 you're using a 5 sample average of the vertical speed. You state that you're doing this calculation by hand because of the vertical speed bug.

Two questions:

1) Why not use a "one-sample" value for the analog display (vs. an integrated sample average for the digital display)?
That way you would add some information (beyond having the same values available in analog as well as in digital form).

2) Could we get rid of the 2nd and 3rd decimal place in the digital vario? How to?
I know already how I'll use the additional space in panel_16: I could build an altitude over time profile similar to MailSMurf in his "Alt" panel http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2923

Looking forward to hearing from you,
cheers,
Troubadixx.

Is there any possibility of 176x220 version?

Hallo Thomas,

thanks a lot for the quick reply and your comprehensive explanations.

I guess I'll play around a bit with the integration interval of the vario. I'll do some practical in-flight/in-paragliding testing and see how it goes...

The decimal place behavior thing is strange. Thanks for the hints.

The sound feature sounds promising - looking forward to it Smile

(On the other hand: The gps based "vario simulation" will keep the fundamental disadvantage of being less accurate and less responsive than the "real" barometric vario... So I'll probably keep my Solario for the time being Smile

)

Viele Grüße,
Troubadixx.

Hi,
at first you need a installed Trekbuddy with Version 0.9.84 or higher.

than copy the Content of the ZIP File in the Tb UI Folder:
E:\Trekbuddy\ui-profiles
if you install TB onto the memory card.

thats it.

Start TB,
press two times #
now you should see the CMS

with left and rigth key you can switch between the different views.

Thomas
