We still need someone to contribute a better working font that supports the inverted character colors using the U8G2 Library. We are so close to having a fully working DED!

I have been struggling to get DCS BIOS and the u8g2 library to work.

 

Any time I put a drawStr.() line in a void onDisplayChange or whatever it is, it doesn't draw anything but in a corner it looks like its showing the first line of the DED in one character spot with insane tearing from high FPS. Display works fine and is configured correctly when using the Hello World examples from the u8g2 library.

 

A sample of my code is below:

/*
  Tell DCS-BIOS to use a serial connection and use the default Arduino Serial
  library. This will work on the vast majority of Arduino-compatible boards,
  but you can get corrupted data if you have too many or too slow outputs
  (e.g. when you have multiple character displays), because the receive
  buffer can fill up if the sketch spends too much time updating them.
  
  If you can, use the IRQ Serial connection instead.

this sketch is slow and needs to be tweaked ...

@JohnnyChicago It worked! I just modified that code to IRQ instead of Default serial and it worked smoothly. Just need to tweak the fonts and position of text to use the full display.

Hi,

I managed to get my DED working in a way as described above, tweaked a bit with the font and changed some minor things.

It was working fine under DCS World 2.5 Beta.

  

Then I updated my DCS to 2.7 and suddenly it isn't working anymore.

The first thing I already noticed is the address change in DCS-BIOS, for instance first line was 0x44fc and now it seems to be 0x4500.

However, if that was the only problem I would be out of the woods quickly.

Even after changing this value nothing appears on my display...I reconnected the Arduino back to my old DCS system and it keeps working (with 0x44fc).

I have the feeling DCS-BIOS isn't giving me the data back (the Webpage of DCS-Bios is reporting the values dough) or the data has another data-format which can't be used as written in the script. I don't have a clue to be honest.

 

Any other persons having the same issue after updating?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Werner

Hi,

 

I copied the code above and changed to my own font and hurray it works again....I needed to change to the new addresses though to make it work (check your DCS-BIOS for these new addresses).

 

Just to let you know 🙂

Hi Chroustall,

 

In attachment the font I use on my DED. The ° and the up/down arrows are fixed in this font.

I'm using the DEDFont16px.c in my ino file.

How do you change your code for using the DEDfont16px.c ?

Im following this thread.. 

 

Can anyone link me all the hardware required for making the DED?

 

You guys are doing one hell of a good job 😁

Check out Uri_Ba’s blog post on how to build the DED: https://pit.uriba.org/uriba/ded-box-real-gets/ For DCS BIOS you will need a 5V to 3V3 logic converter(hint: Adafruit) if you use the model screen I did.

I'm trying this on a mega2560 but just getting a blank screen, everything works with the test code from buydisplay web site, just wondering if anyone had any idea to why I get nothing on screen, dcs is running with f-16 sat hot start and dcsbios is reporting data coming in from the ded, I'm stumped

If its being silly, try changing lineX = "test Text 123" and see if that at least prints.

thank you for your help but that didn't work either, but I did spot in your code that  the "newValue" in line 5 has brackets around it and none of the other lines do as seen below, so I added brackets to the other 4 lines and it is now working, thanks again

 

void onDedLine4Change(char* newValue) {
  line4 = newValue;
}
DcsBios::StringBuffer<25> dedLine4Buffer(0x454a, onDedLine4Change);

void onDedLine5Change(char* newValue) {
  line5 = (newValue);

Hello

I have Arduino due with   SSD1322 screen and I just upload the code but It doesn't show anything ! Could you please help me about this ? How I am going to make it work ?

this is my working code, I've not used the due so you will have to find the mosi and sck pins from the due pinout chart, hope it helps you, all I need to do now is find an F-16 font that works

Thanks for sharing. Using an Uno and the .32" oled, what else did you need to physically wire it up. Shoudln't need the level converter mentioned earlier as the uno supplies 3.3v correct?

Hi, I am using your code but I having some problems. I would appreciate help guys, I dont have the skill yet to program. I have the screen working and it seems dcsbios its sending information to my arduino UNO, but I only can see two numbers on the left. The hello world example works OK.

The numbers change randomly but I cant identify what its my problem. Also, it is possible to use this font? https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1014500/falconded

Thank you guys, hope someone can guide me in the right direction.
