Hello, I'm new with mobiflight but have had some weeks reading about it. Currently I'm building a FCU and collect ideas for my hardware.
The displays are now in evaluation but I have some headake with them. I do not want to use 7 Segment dispays. OLEDs would be nice but are currently not
supported by mobiflight.
Question is if the value of speed, heading, altitude and verticale speed is maybe available in another way and can be send/given to a second standard arduino which
can be used to drive the OLED's?
In this case everybody is free to drive whatever display is available on the market and the mobiflight connector does not customized for all the various displays found on the market.

Thanks for your reply
Regards,
Thomas

Hi

You should join Discord, and should talk there to "Neil" or "Tuomas".

There are some users, who already do those things.
In the Future we are looking forward to allow a kind of "Interface" .... So Users have posibility to define something like "Transmitter" as a Output Device ( Pin)
And this Pin simply export the Mobiflight Configs Output Value as a Integer or String to this Pin.....
So a Other user finally can wire that Pin to a own Arduino/RasPi or whatever and can handle this information in it´s own code.

BUT

For the moment this tool have no priority.... Maybe it comes soon, Maybe it take years, Maybe it not come finally.
Good Luck !
