Manual for user interface with 3 pushbuttons - TomBric/stratux-radar-display GitHub Wiki

In all screen modes:

  • middle button (>1 sec): switch to next mode (radar -> timer -> ahrs -> gmeter -> compass -> vertical speed -> display status -> stratux statux -> flight logs -> radar)
  • left button (>1 sec): start shutdown, press any other button to cancel shutdown
  • after shutdown, display can be reactivated by switching on/off
  • Epaper display: right button > 1 sec does a refresh of the display. Sometimes you may have some fragments on the display (because we are using partial refresh). Pressing the right button does a full refresh.

Radar screen mode:

  • left button short: change radar range (2nm -> 5nm -> 10nm -> 40nm)
  • middle button short: enable/disable sound (if bluetooth speaker/headset is connected)
  • right button short: change height difference for traffic (1000ft -> 2000 ft -> 5000 ft -> 10k ft -> 50k ft)
  • right button long: screen refresh. This is relevant for Epaper only since it becomes "dirty" over time with partial refresh.

Radar

Recommended setting for normal piston aircraft is 5 nm and 2000 ft.
