Hello

I am totaly beginner and i spend my first hours with Devo 12S and deviation.
I've read deviation user manual but i can't find out how i could set / assign a switch , ie : HOLD0 to do a specific action when active.

For test purposes, i would like to have ELEV = 50% when HOLD0 switch is manually activated.

Can someone tell me where this should be configured and how to proceed ?

Many thanks

You can assign switches to many things, in this case to an additional mixer page of the elevator channel to replace the previous value with a "fixed" function and 50% scale value.

It is simpler if you use the Expo&DR mixer template, and unlink the function of the second page to be a fixed function with the 50% scale...

Thanks,

I've tried to follow your advice, but nothing happens when i switch HOLD0 on, on the channels view.

Ch6 has been assigned to HOLD0

Here is what i did so far, did i missed something ?

Not what I meant.

Do the following:
- select the Ecpo&DR mixer template (done);
- set the source to the ELE stick and the function to 1-to-1 or EXPO;
- set the switch1 to HOLD0 (or HOLD1 if you please);
- click on the middle-rate button to unlink it's function from the first graph and select the fixed function for it, also set the scale to 50%.

Now, when i manually activate the switch on Ch6 to 'HOLD0' position, the channels view show HOLD0 = 50%

But Ch1 that is elevator does not get changed and stays as it is.
I though ELEVATOR channel would also be set to 50% , but looks not .

Is this normal ?

Here is the capture of my setting.

Absolutely.
If you made this on channel 6, it won't effect the actual elevator channel.
This was only a demo to show you how to do it.

Now if you do the same on Ch1 you will get what you want.
You can delete the demo from Ch6 by selecting the mixer template "None".

However if you want just a fixed vale on throttle hold, there is also a simpler method:
- go into the channel config page;
- set the safety switch to your throttle hold switch value;
- set the safety value to the desired value;
... and that's it...

I got it, thank you.
Now i have questions coming up : :)

What kind of interrest could we get to have a Channel different from the its source ?

I mean :

In '1-ELE' we usually set Src to 'ELE'
what would happen if '1-ELE' as Src set to 'THR' ?

I tried, but then nothing happens.


-- Other question please :

In EXPO&DR 2 switches can be assigned.

Now, i'm now to use a regular stick ( ie ELE) and also assign ONE switch position (ie HOLD0) to set ELE at specific value.
This works fine.

If i try to assign a second switch in EXPO&DR at another specific value, then the stick no longer works, only the 2 switches work.
Can you tell me why ?


-- Maybe a stupid newbie question :

Is it possible to assign to a switch position something like a macro or a sequence of commands that would, for example, let the model to perform a half turn or a defined tricky move ?
