Yeah... played with the refresh rate and at 200 it still bins out. I dont think the uno is man enough to do it all. If i reduce the amount it displays then it takes a while longer before resetting. May have to do seven segment displays for altitude and use the tft for something else... Or can I just get a better Arduino?

Photo here... http://s347.photobucket.com/user/gizzum1275/profile/ I have done a video of the test script from MCUFriend... The UNO has started to randomly reset itself. I did have this running fine with Altitude messages and Apsides. But it will now not even run with that... video here... Is this the same experience you had Benji? I gather this is due to the Uno not being man enough to receive and display at the same time??

Suggest a good video hosting site and I'll upload it running your code. If i can get it running that is. I have basic info at the moment and it seems to handling it.

Only got it working!!! works well with just altitude at the moment... there is a small lag but close enough for government work!!! I need to write the code to clear the screen when changing scenes and also get the cursor positioned correctly but initial tests are SWEET!!. using a uno r3 btw Thanks so much for your help Benjji. I'll keep you updated. the tft display is approx 74mm x 51mm and sits nicely on the duo. Once i get it working I will try and do a vid and post it up. Jez

When you say before void loop(): do you mean in setup(): ?? or outside setup as well?

Now I am getting... Arduino: 1.8.2 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno" /Users/Jez/Dropbox/Arduino/KSP/KSP.ino: In function 'void loop()': KSP:53: error: 'myAltitude' was not declared in this scope tft.println(myAltitude.sealevel); ^ exit status 1 'myAltitude' was not declared in this scope This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" option enabled in File -> Preferences. Really???

You have got to be f*****g S******g me! God I love it when that happens... cheers Benji. Jez Leatherman!

Ok guys... I have bought this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J34JO0K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have used one of the examples from mcufriend and have the TFT printing stuff. So I copied the code into my KSP... #include <Adafruit_GFX.h> #include <MCUFRIEND_kbv.h> #include <KerbalSimpit.h> #include <KerbalSimpitMessageTypes.h> #include <PayloadStructs.h> #define WHITE 0x0000 #define YELLOW 0x001F #define CYAN 0xF800 #define MAGENTA 0x07E0 #define RED 0x07FF #define GREEN 0xF81F #define BLUE 0xFFE0 #define BLACK 0xFFFF MCUFRIEND_kbv tft; // KerbalSimPit object KerbalSimPit mySimPit(Serial); // work in line numbers. Font height in ht int16_t ht = 16, top = 2, line, lines = 28, scroll; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); while (!mySimPit.init()) { delay(100); } mySimPit.inboundHandler(messageHandler); mySimPit.registerChannel(ALTITUDE_MESSAGE); tft.reset(); uint16_t id = tft.readID(); tft.begin(id); tft.setRotation(0); //Portrait tft.fillScreen(MAGENTA); tft.setTextColor(WHITE, RED); tft.setTextSize(2); // System font is 8 pixels. ht = 8*2=16 tft.setCursor(100, 0); tft.print("Hello World"); if (id == 0x9320 || id == 0x9325 || id == 0xB509) { top = 0; // these controllers scroll full screen lines = tft.height() / ht; // we are in portrait mode } } void loop() { mySimPit.update(); tft.setCursor(0, (scroll + top) * ht); if (++scroll >= lines) scroll = 0; tft.vertScroll(top * ht, lines * ht, (scroll) * ht); tft.println(String(myAltitude.sealevel) + ": [" + String(scroll) + "] "); delay(100); line++; } void messageHandler(byte messageType, byte msg[], byte msgSize) { switch(messageType) { case ALTITUDE_MESSAGE: if (msgSize == sizeof(altitudeMessage)) { altitudeMessage myAltitude; myAltitude = parseAltitude(msg); } break; } } and I get the errors... Arduino: 1.8.2 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno" KSP:18: error: 'KerbalSimPit' does not name a type KerbalSimPit mySimPit(Serial); ^ /Users/Jez/Dropbox/Arduino/KSP/KSP.ino: In function 'void setup()': KSP:26: error: 'mySimPit' was not declared in this scope while (!mySimPit.init()) { ^ KSP:29: error: 'mySimPit' was not declared in this scope mySimPit.inboundHandler(messageHandler); ^ /Users/Jez/Dropbox/Arduino/KSP/KSP.ino: In function 'void loop()': KSP:49: error: 'mySimPit' was not declared in this scope mySimPit.update(); ^ KSP:53: error: 'myAltitude' was not declared in this scope tft.println(String(myAltitude.sealevel) + ": [" + String(scroll) + "] "); ^ exit status 1 'KerbalSimPit' does not name a type This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" option enabled in File -> Preferences. I think I need to buy some arduino books as I am getting headache from this! Any ideas or am I being a complete leatherman? (the ultimate tool!) Jez

Apologies... it was a rushed post as we were travelling off to see relatives for the weekend. I will have another try tonight and get back with errors and code etc.

Hi Guys... not been on for a while and am well impressed at the progress you have made. So, from my end... Bit the bullet and bought some lcd & tft displays for my uno. I have managed to get the tft printing text but for the love of god cannot add the simpit code into arduino ide without it giving me compiling errors. I notice some of you have mentioned the lcd displays. Any chance you could stick up some examples so that I can try and figure out what I am doing wrong??? All I am trying to do at the moment is get it to display altitude info from KSP... Much appreciated.. keep up the good work!!! Jez

Thats awesome Stibbons... keep up the good work!!!!

defo gonna try it now! . The only problem is that my CDO (I am so OCD I have to put it in alphabetical order!!) is gonna be screaming at me to check the state of switches now when I change crafts! It would be "a nice to have" that the status led flashes if it is the wrong position?? So how do you go about getting the action group status out of the game. Is it the same procedure as the telemetry? I don't have much time this weekend as I am a photographer at a wedding all day tomorrow but I would love to figure that part out as well.

Thanks stibbons, i had managed to get the switch to work as you discribed but was thinking if there was a point in the game where you go to a ship that has rcs on and your switch is in the off position it would instantly turn it off. Or worse something like landing gear. If the switch was in the gear up position and you swap to a lander you wouldn't want you ship retracting its gear and falling over. Could that happen or am I talking rubbish.

OK... been reading and my head hurts... a lot! If I want to implement a switch for the standard action groups for example RCS, I would need check for the current status of the RCS_bit and then activate or deactivate the action accordingly dependent on the position of the switch. How do I request from KSP the state of the RCS_Bit? Is there an RCS_MESSAGE?

Thanks Stibbons. If I where to try and understand what you are doing so that I may contribute to this where would you suggest is a good place to start researching? I love to find out how things work so would love to follow this and actually understand what you guys are talking about, where the info comes from and how it integrates with the arduino. Please fell free to tell me to do one if I am standing on your toes!
