THEMA:

Hallo zusammen,

von VSpeak gibt es ein Modul zum Darstellen der Telemetrie von Jeti Sendern in einer AR Brille. Das Modul wird in den Sender eingebaut und wird über eine LUA App eingestellt. Leider sieht es so aus, als könne man es allerdings nicht nutzen, wenn die Erweiterungsplatine eingebaut ist, da das Modul an die rote P1 Buchse angeschlossen wird.

Die Erweiterungsplatine nutzt die Buchsen ja nur als Halterung.

Very interesting. VSpeak does some really cool stuff!

So far Jeti has not indicated that they will have a lua API for BTE or WiFi in the new devices, I am hoping that innovations like this help change their mind. Perhaps if we all say "please!"...

I experimented with a BLE device connected to the serial port on the red connector in my DS-24. Putting the BLE inside the case works, but in my application (a fueling station) the range was too limited due to the metal case. I ended up leading a micro size cable out of one of the screw holes and putting the BLE module in a plastic case on the back of the TX. This worked well. But for the glasses use case, the limited range from TX to the glasses is probably just fine.

Does anyone here know the Activelook technology at all?

Every example I have seen only shows a few lines of formatted numbers, not general graphics.

It would be waaay more interesting if we had more general drawing ability. The one app that I think would be excellent would be glider location if sight is lost ... if the glasses have a head tracker and we have GPS position and altitude then the glasses could overlay a dot where the glider is -- even if not visible, and could put up an attitude indicator (like some TX lua apps have done) right in the heads-up region to allow the pilot to fly back.

Hi David

I'm currently working on it.
I can already load my own configuration with my own graphics. The graphics then have to be animated with the graphics primitives of the glasses. The "layouts" wich can be defined in a configuration can only have text as parameter not coordinates inside the layout item.

So it requires a 7 command sequence to change without flicker the position of the pointer of a voltage gauge for example.

Btw. With an ESP32C3 and nimble 1.41 arduino one can change TX - Power in a wide range. Tests with WiFi inside the housing showed many meters range.

That's very cool .. can you point me to any public documentation? Let me know if you would like a collaborator

All ActiveLook documentation can be found here:
github.com/ActiveLook/

For our purposes only the docu of the API and the config generator are of interest.

For coding an ESP32C3 (for Example Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3) BLE stack as client/master:
github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino

I'm using PlatformIO as IDE.
It offers a simple way also to upload the configuarion from the config generator to the file system of the esp32.
