flipsky display compatability issues

im running a stormcore 60D+ hoyt st. puck and the flipsky 1.0 display
im getting nothing on the display at all. ive set the parameters for everything and nothing.
i dont even get a battery read out. any ideas?

Does it turn on at all? Is the VCC plug at the 3.3V pin or at the 5V pin?

it turns on. 5 pin

Might be firmware related. Don’t those things need updates

im using the new vesc tool. maybe it needs to be updated. not sure how to do that

there is no mention of it on the flipsky site

Afaik the flipshit screen is just a bad copy from @janpom’s Davega. Maybe his fw still runs on those? idk, not a lot of people use them.

Yeah that’s probably your issue. Your on 5.3 I’m guessing firmware and the display doesn’t know how to read the info. Maybe try updating the firmware with how the official Davega is

UART enabled on the Stormcore?

thats the code? do i insert that somewhere? thats not something im familiar with.

No. @bboybowzer’s comment is misleading. The flipsky display has nothing to do with the DAVEGA X.

Check that you have UART enabled on the Stormcore.

In the VESC Tool set:

  • App Settings > General > App to Use: PPM and UART
  • App Settings > UART > Baudrate: 115200 bps

if I remember correctly flipsky display is basically the open source davega. Roxie is a fork of that and they reported that code also broke with 5.03. Seems like packet length has changed.

Yes, that could also be an issue. @deadpirate, which VESC firmware version are you running?

Cool, wasn’t sure. Their website for the product just says based off of Davega :disguised_face:

5.3 the latest vesc tool

That’s how it’s already set.

OK, I guess it’s not compatible with 5.3 then. Your options are:

  • Wait for Flipsky to implement it. (Good luck.)
  • Downgrade your VESC firmware.
  • Get some other display that actually has an active firmware development. :wink:

They mean the OS Davega. That’s different from DAVEGA X.
