Re: [rcpilot-devs] HUD display.

[Michael J. P. <mi...@vi...>]

To start with we need the HUD designed.
I started with something but as mentioned earlier it was mostly for size.

The instruments there are Course, Attitude (pitch and roll), Speed and Altitude.

We need to add Fuel, Battery Voltage, Temperature, Engine RPM, Engine Temp,
GPS Satelites, GPS coordinates,  RSSI (receiver strength),  Speed over ground,  Course over ground, Distance from home, Direction to Vehicle.

And all this needs to fit!  ;-) Some can simply be text, others should be more visual.

The user has the option to view or not to view some of these.

Also try to imagine in the background that you are seeing a pilots view and you need that to fly.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to....  I don't expect you to be able to read our minds or understand what each one of these indicators is exactly.

For instance we should try and see which one are most relevant. After the ones I already put there RSSI would be the most important for me.
So that could go below the attitude indicator or something similar. Perhaps a small bar graph.

Val and everyone else...  your thoughts here would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

P.S. We'll get to the rest after the HUD.
