Using BMP280 as Temp Sensor on Plane 4.05

Ground Control Software Mission Planner
1

Just finished wiring in a 3.3v BMP280 to monitor the fuselage temp inside my mini-talon. Works great, correct temp is displayed on video OSD. I used CL1/DA1.

Question: In Mission Planner, the status messages for press_temp and press_temp2 are displayed as raw values - anyone know how to display the temp in human readable format?

Thanks,

Unfortunately you cannot change the display format of the quickview. It on my list to create a pull request that make QuickView more customizable, but it’s not at the top of that list :frowning:
If you desperate, and well versed in C# you can create a small plugin that displays the temperatures with the right formatting, but you can show it only on a corner of the FlightData map, not in the QuickView.

Thanks for the answer - just wanted to confirm. I can see the correctly formatted temp in my OSD and will live with that. I don’t often fly with mission planner active on my laptop.
