Honeycomb configurator assign cmd

Hello, 

how would you bind the command, condition and variable to address only one command when pressing two buttons of the autopilot like HDG and NAV at the same time tougether?
thanks

Probably with condition AND?

Two conditions, one variable?

Hi,

I don't understand what you want to achieve.

Do you mean you would address one function only if TWO specific buttons are pressed ?

Can you give a practical example ?

Thanks.

Yes, if I press the button HDG and NAV at the same time, then a spesific command sim/autopilot/hdg_nav should be executed. 
if only the HDG button is pressed then sim/autopilot/heading

if only NAV is pressed then sim/autopilot/NAV
as in the real autopilot. 
 

I can handle it with the aid of the fn button command from Sparker

but the challenge is to get both button the same time.

Hi,

 

Just a final check before I work on it.

If I understand the generic flow : 
1 - HDG button only pressed : Function 1 is triggered

2 - VAV button only pressed : Function 2 is triggered
3 - HDG and NAV buttons are pressed : Function 3 is triggered but NOT Functions 1 & 2.

 

Is that correct ?

Correct

This is going to be almost impossible unless you press both buttons at the VERY same time.
As this is likely not the case, you will have either Function 1 or 2 activated a short time after the first button is pressed and before the second one is.
There would perhaps be a way to exclude Funtions 1 & 2 while both buttons are pressed, but you will always have some "instability" between the two presses.

 

Is this acceptable ?

Hello.

thanks for thinking about. 
I have played around with button status and conditions. The result is that all 3 functions are more or less activated. Depending on timing. 
I have to try some exclusions. 
 

a working one is as mentioned with the fn button. 
 

it’s the challenge that pushes me

hello,

so eventually I found the solution.

Both button pressed, but the command is on the NAV button "release event".

condition that HDG button status = 1,  then variable sim/autopilot/hdg_nav is triggerd when releasing the button.

As the release command is last, it will override the other two for HDG and NAV as "press events".

it works just fine.

 

cheers

Hi,

That is a great solution.

And it is even greatest to share it with other users !

Many thanks.
