No battery or TX pwr info on config V2** files

I recently received a WLtoys V222 and and none of the V2** config files display the TX power or battery voltage. My Nano QX files do but looking at the .ini I can't see a line for these boxes so I don't know what makes them visible, I would just enter the same in the V2** files.
Is it not possible to have these parameters display in the V2** files?

Whomever created those files can add them and republish.

Or if you have any other radio but the Devo 7e you can do it yourself by editing the main page layout.

You can manually pick the default.ini Layout and they will be there. You get there by:

Main Config....Model menu.... Main page config... Load

You can also move the layout around in the Devo7e if you use HappyHarry's nightly build (updated weekly).

I'm using the 7E

There's a few different V2xx files around, the one I'm using is called V2x2 bebeep. they are all very similar and none of them display the batt or tx info.
They look to be modifications of other model files so I don't think they were created from scratch so in that case I could modify them for my needs.

I looked at the default .ini and it has everything but again it has things that I don't want displayed like the throttle and rudder trim bars - these are used as switches for the V222.. I'm guessing that you toggle the spin box from "none" to "delete" for the items you don't want displayed and then load the file?

Maybe check this out: goo.gl/YHKkSl

Thanks Shanman - I figured it out, templates are independent of models so you can apply any screen template to any model, all the control values will be unchanged. In my case I loaded the default template and used the GUI to remove the trim boxes.

I guess my only question now would be that to back up these actions would copying the model.ini to the computer with a modified file name keep the layout.
I like to back up any changes to model files in case I have to reload Devtation.
I'm asking because I don't see your entries
Battery=100,2
TxPower=100,10
In any of my files that do show the battery/tx info.

This was the first firmware version that I had installed that seemed to not have the battery and Tx power automatically assigned to each model. I think maybe it was something that was part of a default section of the 'flash' file (.dfu) which is now gone. There are a few things changed/missing since they have run very close to the maximum space inside the Devo7e for the .dfu file. You will see that the USB access is no longer in the main menu. That's to save space. What opened up the door to get a lot of the features back was using a new compiler which takes the same information and generates smaller code while compiling. That's great for us Devo7e users.

I manually added the 2 values into my model.ini as described in the post I linked you to. So if all else fails you can always add those 2 lines to any model.ini file if it happens again. Of course you can change the position of the boxes too just by juggling the row/column numbers.

I back-up all my model.ini files in my computer too. I just add the model name in front of the 'model1.ini'. EG: change model5.ini -> HubsanX4model5.ini. It just saves confusion when they're stored in your computer/thumb drive. Of course you would edit it again when you put it back in your Transmitter to conform to the standards that Deviation wants.

If you do edit any info inside the model.ini with your computer make sure you use a linux editor OR if using Windows make sure you download the free program called notepad++.
