-
This code is a fork to support round Waveshare 1.75 AMOLED Display
-
Best suited as a companion device for SoftRF hardware, providing user-friendly visualization of nearby traffic.
-
Proven compatibility with SkyEcho, Stratux, PilotAware and PowerMouse devices, as reported by builders.
-
the Waveshare board offers two buttons. One labeled BOOT, the other PWR.
-
The PWR button can be used to power off the device with a long press > 3 sec, and very long press (~7 sec.) to power back on.
-
The SLEEP button on the Settings page of the touch screen can also be used to power the device off.
-
The board will also power on when:
- A battery is inserted
- A powered USB cable is inserted
-
The BOOT button acts as a MODE switch to step through the SkyView screens in a circular method:
Radar Screen ➡️ Traffic Info Screen ➡️ Compass Screen (if enabled)
-
sometimes the board is not recognized by Windows when the USB-C cable is connected. In that case press both PWR and BOOT simulataneously and then release BOOT button. This should result in a COM port again (check Windows Device Manager).
