have you considered using an AVR with more 10bit timers than the ATMEGA328P ? this would allow you to do servo PWM in hardware leaving the microcontroller with far more time to do other things. i use a single ATMEGA2561 to run a 2.4GHz module,…

hey Pete, it's the same version of the program. yours should look the same as my screenshot. the bright yellow you are seeing are part of the raw images. pyGame should make the yellow bits transparent, letting the layer beneath show…

Dunk, Thanks for looking into that in detail and setting up the Windows VM. Is that the normal colour scheme for the displays or a later version of the program ? (Mine is yellow and green). Best wishes, Pete

hi Pete, on a windows VM i can't reproduce your findings. it's a clean XP install running Python 2.6.6 and pyGame 1.9.1release-svn2575 . it works fine for me. is there anything unusual about the machine you are running? i'm…

hmm. that should be similar enough. odd. it's late here but i'll have a dig about tomorrow and see if i can find any information on transparencies working differently on Linux and windows. they *should* work the same but it is possible…

hi Pete, that appears to be a problem with transparencies. the yellow area should be transparent. i suspect it's an issue with pyGame... any idea what version of pyGame you are using? i'm using '1.9.1release' on Linux. you can…

Dunk, here is a link to a screencast in which I test out the program on windows.

thanks everyone for the interest. hi Rana, hehe, that would kind of defeat the purpose of doing it my self though... Simon, hmm, not a bad idea. i think i have a windows virtual machine somewhere. how does py2exe work? anyone who uses my code…

I have run the code under Windows, and although it runs, the instruments are not displaying correctly when run with: "dial.py test". I have installed pygame and serial, and the window displays the instruments, but they do not update…

Great work... and GPL'ed. Cool. You might want to consider looking at py2exe to bundle up it up into a Windows execute for all those lacking python installs/experience. Cheers, Simon.

Hey Dunk, you seems to be quite a talented person, so would suggest you to put your talent in the the streamlined DIY race of Ardupilot Mega or MatrixPilot based on UDB. Best Regards Rana

hey guys,this might be of use to some of you:i've scripted a set of basic instruments in Python that might be of use to some of you.the Youtube clip shows it attached to my UAV project.for anyone who hasn't used it, Python is a particularly easy to use programming language that is used for all sorts of applications.there are loads of add on libraries to do much of the hard work for you which makes it particularly useful for this sort of rapid development.the Python code can be downloaded here…See More

for anyone who's interested, i solved this problem. the issue was nothing to do with the accelerometer and everything to do with EMF from the power wires affecting the signal wires from the accelerometer. in a stroke of blind good luck, the…
