Add two switches to the Devo 7e

So I reinstalled deviation 5.0 and using notepad plus my hardware ini file looked right and the mod works. Thanks alot for the info guys. But what's the difference between nightly 5.0 and deviation 5.0

Hi guys! I tried to make this mod but I think something is not right, since I push one of new buttons to top the transmitter makes beeping sound (any other channel is not making it). I have 2 on-off-on switches from local electronic shop along with some 5N diodes. Wires are soldered so that the middles are connected together and then its the black wire. I would like to have working similar to 3pos switches on devo 10.

Here are links to the pics since they were too big:

My harware.ini is straight from this topic:
;Only useful for transmitters with an after-market vibration motor
;enable-haptic=1
;
;switch_types: 3x2, 3x1, 2x2
extra-switches=3x2
[modules]
; there is no need to enable the cyrf6936 module unless
; it is wired to an alternate port. It is Enabled automatically otherwise
; enable-cyrf6936 = B12
has_pa-cyrf6936 = 1
; enable-a7105 = A13
; has_pa-a7105 = 1
; enable-cc2500 = A14
; has_pa-cc2500 = 1
; enable-nrf24l01 = A14
; has_pa-nrf24l01 = 1
; enable-multimod = A1

all 5 wires need to be connected to the pcb, you look to have only 4, follow the wiring guide here >> www.deviationtx.com/forum/7-development/...t-in-deviation#18116

Happyharry, there are 5 wires connected to pcb , 2xred, 2xwhite and one black. Black one goes to mid pin of right switch and from there to mid pin of left.

I downloaded someone's model page from this topic, and now I have the additional switches on channels 5 & 6 so that when they are on middle position mixer output is 0 for both. When I push both down they both go to 125. When I push both up they go -125. If I push either one individually, nothing happens. So probably something wrong with my wiring still ?

Go to channel monitor then press right for the input monitor, stop trying to figure out if your switches work by looking at the output of a mixer...

Thanks! new to deviation also so haven't noticed this before. When both switches are on middle channels are SWA0 -100 , SWA01 100, SWA02 -100. Similar for swb. If i put either switch to up or down, nothing happens (except beeping sound if I push either one up). If I push both up SWA0=100 and SWA1=-100 , same for SWB. If i pull both switches down SWA0=-100, SWA1=100 and SWA2=-100. Same for SWB.

I'm going to be adding some switches to my 7E soon.

I was wondering about the current limitations/assumtions in the firmware: I apologize if this is an obvious noob question, but I've read this whole thread and don't see exact definitions, assumptions, and limitations. At least not all in one place. I've had to infer things from bits and pieces of information spread across many posts.

Regarding hardware.ini file;
;switch_types: 3x2, 3x1, 2x2
;extra-switches=3x2

I am assuming that

• 3x2 means two separate 3-way (ON-OFF-ON) switches
• 3x1 means a single 3-way (ON-OFF-ON) switch
• 2x2 means two separate 2-way (ON-ON) switches

Is this correct? And is there support for other switch types/quantities that aren't listed? Such as a momentary switch?
EDIT: I looked into the some of source code. I believe the above statement is accurate, and for the 7E; these (3x2, 3x1, 2x2) are the only options. For Ultimate-7E and other transmitters, there's a lot more options to upgrade switches&buttons. Up to 8 two-way switches in some instances.

Next, I assume that:

• ; switch_types: is intended to convey what switches one "could" enable with the appropriate hardware mod. This line is a pure comment, and one should never remove the semicolon from this line.
• ; extra_switches= tells the firmware how many, and what types of switches one has actually installed. One removes the semicolon, and sets the value to the type and number of switch(es) installed.

EDIT: I believe the above statement is accurate.

If I'm understanding it all, this implies when one installs two switches, ideally they should be of the same type.

In other words: If I install a single 3-way (on-off-on) switch, on the left side of the tx (SwA), and a 2-way (on-on) switch on the right side (SwB). Then I should probably use the 3x2 definition, but with the understanding that the firmware believes the second switch is a 3-way, when it actually isn't.

Please let me know if I'm off in the weeds here...

Try this in your hardware.ini

extra-switches=3x1, 2x1

or

extra-switches=2x1
extra-switches=3x1

I installed 2 3way switches in my devo 7e. Note my attached ini file.

Hi all, I got my switches added to my Devo7E and thought I would you share how I set it up.

• The long handle toggle switch on the right (SwB) is a 3 position switch.
• The long handle toggle switch on the left (SwA) is a 2 position switch.
• Plus I have added a momentary button switch on the upper left of the back shell.

This exact configuration isn't quite supported by the current firmware, But enabling it using extra-switches=3x2 in the hardware.ini file is very very close.

This works fine as long I remember to reference only A0 or !A0 in my models.ini files for the 2-pos toggle, and A2 or !A2 for the momentary button. I need to avoid referencing A1 or !A1 because both the 2-pos toggle, and the button alter these values. That would lead to unexpected behavior, if I think of the button and the switch as independent controls.

Switch B behaves exactly as intended.



Let me know if part numbers, schematic, or picture of the wiring would be helpful to someone wanting to do a similar configuration.

Greetings folks. Yesterday i took a whack add the switch mod. Fairly straight forward but im having a prob. I cannot get a value change at swa0 or swb0. I do get the desired results on swa1 and 2. When i click to swa0 or swb0 i get 2 beeps second beep is higher pitch. Im hopin its somethin simple. Any thought is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm getting a similar problem after upgrading the FW version. Just posted in general discussion:

Valrog, did you solved it?
