Killer. Ill test it out on STM32 and Vanilla Arduino Nano.

I have seen this dudes work on FB. For that price, its worth it. The DED is hitting the limitations of what I can understand and develop the Arduino coding for. Until someone can implement a library to translate the bits for inversion with a standard font file, there really is no cheap DED solution. It also sucks that because of the new IC checks implemented, you cant just export the DED or RWR without getting locked out of public MP servers.

Would be nice to have non IC script changes to just have exported displays. Here's a simple list we want: EUFD with options for CPG/PLT differentiation KDU Display CMWS(I know that one is a little weird/not a "display") MPDs with options for CPG/PLT differentiation

Its a problem with how fast the code updates with the stream from the computer. Its a limitation of the Arduino coupled with a code issue. I will eventually have an update to add a refresh rate option and inverse the characters once I can grasp a method to flip the inverted text with my library.

Thats a different DED code from my own. But from what I have seen, looks like you are missing the EROLED library. That should be included into the sketch folder from the example he provided.

For the past month or so I have been working on adding Ethernet support to the DCS BIOS FP Fork. I have managed to get a lot done but can't figure out how to implement the final part of actually getting the Arduino to process the UDP packets. Nothing is special about the repo besides requiring supported hardware. Uses the Ethernet library in the vanilla Arduino IDE. Here's a link to my repo on GitHub: https://github.com/wiggles5289/dcs-bios-arduino-library

That random A is actually some code to invert the text of certain characters. Im not a good programmer and don't know how to implement it. The U8G2 library isn't the best to do this with, Im trying to look into a temp fix to prevent the character from showing and properly highlighting the text in the future.

I think I have something that works. Ill update it in the first post.

After pulling my hair out for about 2 hours as to why my original code wasn't working, I figured out that I had wrong pointer data for each line. //F-16 DED for DCS BIOS using 256x64 ER-OLED032-1G from BuyDisplay.com //Final code by JohnnyChicago,a whole lotta font cred to Fusion's wife, and Wiggles5289 on the DCS Forums //Updated for DCS 2.7 on 06SEP2022 #define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL #include "DcsBios.h" #include <Arduino.h> #include <U8g2lib.h> #include <U8glib.h> #ifdef U8X8_HAVE_HW_SPI #include <SPI.h> #endif #ifdef U8X8_HAVE_HW_I2C #include <Wire.h> #endif U8G2_SSD1322_NHD_256X64_1_4W_HW_SPI u8g2(U8G2_R0, /* cs=*/ 10, /* dc=*/ 9, /* reset=*/ 8); char* line1; char* line2; char* line3; char* line4; char* line5; const u8g_fntpgm_uint8_t DEDfont16px[1148] U8G_FONT_SECTION("DEDfont16px") = "_\0\3\3\4\4\4\5\5\10\16\0\376\12\376\12\377\1\212\3\1\4_ \5\0\10\61!\14\224\32" "q$\207\212H,\222\0\42\10\66y\61DL\2#\22\227\31q\224$\222\213\222D$\221\134\224$" "\22\0$\20\326\371\260\204\62\212\210\252\225$\241\11E\0%\24\270\10q\206\22\231D\22\232Hu\31" "E\324$\302\11\0&\21\227\31qf\22\221D\66\223JL\22\221h\42'\6\62{\61\14(\15\264" "\372\260$\42\211H\67\221L\0)\15\264\372\60d\42\231H\27\221D\4*\20\310\10\61~\60\205h" "s\300\214\24:<\20+\12V\71\261\204\42\223P\4,\10C\373\60,\24\0-\6\26Y\61\14."

I have just jumped back into rebuilding my code for the DED. There is a problem with code I have on the first post. The StringBuffer and dedLineXBuffer values have changed somewhere with an update, possibly from the 2.6 to 2.7 jump as there have been new pages added to the DED. As for now I will be fixing the code to make sure that it does work out of the box.

This is actually pretty neat. Do you have source code? I want to see if it can be incorporated into custom HID Joystick panels to adjust backlight. Could also be a way to make(IMO) better cockpit panels with PnP capability.

I took a look at the ILI9488 and unfortunately that's not supported by U8G2 to drive that display. I would try adding a request to the U8G2 GitHub, you might get lucky and get native support for this code.

You need to contact who sold you that to get a fix for the EDID firmware for that screen. The PCB with the components is universal and commonly used for 800x600 resolution and probs programmed for that. If you are comfortable with a little hacking I would see if you can modify the file with an external arduino or TTL cable.

When can we expect some CAD dimension files for the Orion 2? I am working to fit this into my Viper pit and it would be a big help to get a CAD file to modify the layout to ensure I can get a perfect mount.

Doesn’t matter where you get the display from. Just as long as you have the proper Driver and Resolution selected. U8G2 is awesome for simple configuring.
