edgetx FlySky NV14 layout files

Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem?

the screen layouts are mostly for widescreen radios, but the nv14 has a portrait screen, so the screen layout selectors are a bit misleading and can be some kind of disappointing.

Describe the solution you'd like

include portrait mode icons (made them already in 20x25px) mask_layout1+2 mask_layout1+3 mask_layout1x1 mask_layout1x2 mask_layout1x3 mask_layout1x4 mask_layout2+1 mask_layout2+3 mask_layout2x1 mask_layout2x2 mask_layout2x3 mask_layout2x4 mask_layout4+2

Describe alternatives you've considered

I believe these should be computed rather than included as fixed bitmaps. Should would allow for more flexibility. In general, it seems to me that the screen layouts for NV14 are not very well adapted in general. This is something we should revisit probably.

Seems this is related to https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/pull/3282 Is this PR solves the problem properly? @nightflasher

IMG_20230322_082209_589 No, it doesn't work. It's only a aspect ratio thing.

Are you sure you tested the right build? It should look like this on the NV14: Screen Shot 2023-03-22 at 7 56 02 pm

EdgeTX 2.8.1 - which one should it be? Also, my NV14 still identifies itself as EL18

Mar 22 '23 09:03 nightflasher

main branch, so a nightly. Or wait for 2.9 ;)

NV14 still identifies itself as EL18

Hm... did you flash the el18 firmware instead of the nv14 one? Depending on where it identifies itself as EL18 it's hard-coded into the firmware (for now). ;)

oh okay - there is no nightly (on buddy.edgetx.org) for the NIRVANA :'(

EDIT: on the releases page, the zip contains the nightly and now it's working as expected.

this issue can now be closed

On Buddy, you'll be after the Flysky EL18 - make sure you've ticked off show pre-releases under filters if you want to see nightlies.

The firmware is identical for the EL18 and NV14, it auto-detects which hardware it is on at runtime, and makes some adjustments accordingly. Only gotcha is the firmware will in some places state it is the el18 (i.e. because that is the firmware file that was flashed, not the radio model that is being displayed).
