I am trying to get custom data that I am importing via Lua script (EFI telemetry coming in via CAN) to display on the Mission Planner HUD, not on the “Quick” tab, but on the HUD itself, ideally next to the battery data. The data I a looking to display is “fuel remaining” and I have that data coming in from the engine over CAN using a Lua script and have it being sent as a “send_named_float” variable, but I cannot figure out how to get it to display on the HUD. I have a feeling this will involve creating a custom version of Mission Planner that can accomplish this, which I am happy to do, I just need to know where to start with editing the code. Right now, I am focused on the Mission Planner>ExtLibs>Controls>HUD.cs file, but I would like to know if this is the correct spot or one of a few spots I should be looking at to accomplish this.
right click on the hud then select user data. then you can have anything from quick tab displayed on it.
worked like a champ, thank you!
Do you know of any way to easily move these items around on the HUD?
