Open haslinghuis opened this issue 9 months ago β€’ 5 comments

  • depends on https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/pull/14244

This pull request introduces a new feature to display the "Angle of Attack" element in the On-Screen Display (OSD). The changes include updates to the localization messages, symbol definitions, and OSD field configurations.

Localization updates:

  • locales/en/messages.json: Added messages and descriptions for the "Angle of Attack" element.

Symbol definitions:

  • src/js/tabs/osd.js: Added SYM.ANGLE_OF_ATTACK with the symbol code 0x40.

OSD field configurations:

  • src/js/tabs/osd.js: Added "ANGLE_OF_ATTACK" to the OSD.loadDisplayFields function with relevant properties like text, desc, defaultPosition, draw_order, and preview.
  • src/js/tabs/osd.js: Included F.ANGLE_OF_ATTACK in the OSD.chooseFields function to ensure it is selectable.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a new "Angle of attack" element to the On Screen Display (OSD) for compatible firmware versions (API 1.47 and above).
    • Updated English language support to include text and description for the new "Angle of attack" OSD element.

This is great! I've just thought about delete (//comment) my osd blink mode code to go it in separate PRs. I've not seen osd indication during last test my PR, due of some mistake probably. Will test with this PR together next time.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a new "Angle of attack" element to the On Screen Display (OSD) system. This includes adding English localization strings for the new element and its description, defining a new symbol constant for "Angle of attack," and updating the display fields to include this element for firmware versions 1.47 and above. The new display field is fully integrated with properties for name, text, description, position, draw order, and preview formatting.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
locales/en/messages.json Added two new localization entries: "osdTextElementAngleOfAttack" and "osdDescElementAngleOfAttack".
src/js/tabs/osd.js Added ANGLE_OF_ATTACK symbol constant, defined new display field for "Angle of attack", and updated field selection logic for firmware API 1.47+.

Poem

In the fields where numbers stack,
A new angle joins the pack!
"Angle of attack" now takes its place,
With symbols, text, and a previewed face.
OSD grows, the screens delightβ€”
More data for every flight!

I've lined up some air speed sensors with another wing fc.. AoA sensors are a small vane that measures the angle of the airflow past it.. not something you can estimate using the current sensor package as its relative airflow with out reference to the attitude

@sugaarK Thank's for review. Yes, I understand that this is a 'paper' algorithms, what has limited range and accuracy in really. It has calibrating problem too. We need real sensors for AoA and airspeed. I see Matek and similar airspeed sensors. But I've never seen AoA sensors for RC. I continue airplane research in this PR: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/pull/14350/files/15bd4634eeefac29f94f903b5b895c4ec749964e..ffff2776e0286361349af38168c99f8f0894d332

I will try to use lift force coefficient instead of AoA for algorithms. It works, but I need properly air speed to estimate it too.

it would be very easy to make one.. its an rotational angle sensor with a vane that you could print

Yes, it's work is easy. But it needs a good hands to build it. :)

Yes, this is good! Do you know some small rotation sensor?
