Topic: Daylight readable?
I'm thinking about hacking a Chumby into a flight display for my ultralight airplane. It would take in NMEA GPS data, compass, EGT and CHT temps, etc from the serial port (from a separate microprocessor) and display something similar to the picture below:
I actually work for the company that makes these flight displays. Of course they cost a lot of money and aren't really set up for a UL aircraft. So I want to do something myself, mainly because it will be fun and challenging. I've done Linux development on the Gumstix and IMX21 platforms for a while now, so hacking this won't be a big deal. I see that QT4 can run on it, so I'll probably go that route. I even did a 320x240 photoshop image to see if I could fit in everything I need, and it looks usable.
So my only question is, how does the screen look in daylight?
