Hi all, I typically like to put the cheap on-board I2C displays on my airplanes to quickly see useful bits of information, it looks like the parameter is missing on 4.1.0 dev, I just pulled it today from the firmware repository. Does anyone know if I need to change a different parameter now or how to log this as an issue? The parameter and the functionality is there in previous versions of the arduplane firmware and it is still there in copter, but not in the latest dev version.
Greetings! Is there any way to get info on adding or customizing the information sent to the on-board display output? I have a need to add in a couple features, such as altitude, heading and perhaps even customizing the outputs. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated, please point me in the right direction. Thank you, Mike.
To enable the features you want is a simple task.
(when its working) You can just simply go to the experimental page and create your custom firmware. Thats it!
Later if you want to build on your own, follow the wiki instrution to setup the build environment. Go to the the above experimental custom build page and look for your board build directory, you will find an extra_hwdef.dat. Use what is writen inside as an example to change later the hwdef.dat of your AP, when you plan to build on your own.

Copy the above and put it inside the /libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/ (look for your board directory)/hwdef.dat
Make sure that your are not enabling and disabling later the same feature inside the file, double check everything before saving.
Just build and thats it!
