Sailplane templates on Radiomaster TX15

[jfrickmann]

I have gotten a few requests from people who have bought a RM TX15 and wonder when the sailplane templates and widgets will be available for this radio?

@offer-shmuely and @frankiearzu - are you working on this?

Since I use a Jeti radio these days, I have not been following this, but I can start working on it in Companion if no one else is doing it. I just don't want to get in your way, if you're already on it 😄

[frankiearzu]

Haven't touch it.

Since is lua, probably very little things changed.

Don't have tx15, but could try on the tx16 with the EdgeTx 3.0 version.

Also on my DSMtools LUA, people are reporting some problems on 3.0/tx15 that I have to debug.

@ZombieFly @rotorman @wimalopaan - you have also been working on LibGUI?

[ZombieFly]

@jfrickmann I am merely using LibGUI to build a small application for my work, and I’m sorry that I’m not deeply involved in the development of LibGUI either.🥲

Mmh, I abandoned libGUI in favor of lvgl some time ago.

@jfrickmann can you share what are the reported bugs?? Just ran it on my TX16 with EdgeTX 3.0 (what the TX15 is based on), and for my F5J, it seems to work, will test others. Also, I was thinking that it probably should have its own GitHub repo for better tracking of bugs/changes. I started one for the B&W version that you originally fixed it.. but haven't test it.

When you say template, do you mean the wizard ?
I am working on changing to wizard system,
So it will be able to share parts between wizard .

After 2 iterations of improving the great libGui, it about time, i now abandon it in favor of the lvgl.
I am transferring all scripts to lvgl one by one

[offer-shmuely]

I wrote scripts for dlg, not for big gliders

The errors are described here - the F3K timing widget is frozen, and the others cannot find LibGUI. This is also what I get when I try with RM's Companion.

I mean Lua widgets for the sailplane models created by the SoarETX templates.

Btw. I fully agree that the right path forward is to convert everything to lvgl and abandon LibGUI. The question is, who is doing it? Are you planning to do it? 😄

[offer-shmuely]

I am doing it step by step on many of the widgets and scripts.
I did found however that is very hard to give support (and those good quality) on scripts that I do not use (unless they are very simple)
I used in the past the frsky gyro, so I improved frsky script, but now that i do not use them, I do not have proper hardware (and enough motivation) to fix bugs and improve features.

I do not use soarEtx, so I do not think i will learn and change it.
But now that started to fly DLG, I am thinking of writing (yet another) DLG training widget

[jfrickmann]

It sounds like we're in the same boat then. I have been using Jeti for a couple of years now, and I would also be doing all of the work in Companion. This means that I will not touch the model templates, as I would need to flight test anything I did there. But I don't mind fixing my own Lua widgets (SoarETX) so they continue to work with the current EdgeTX version. I will need to spend some time learning how to use the new LVGL library, but I can do that, if you prefer. Please let me know!
