CH products is dead, long live CH Products

lawndartleo · April 13, 2020

So, we no longer have the CH Hangar to go bug Bob Church about how to program our CH products sticks. Maybe someone here either knows where the refugees have gone or perhaps can even give some advice on how to accomplish something.

CH Products do not have dual stage triggers but the scripting capability should allow for something akin to it. My idea is simply this...

Press and hold JS1.B1 is stage 1 (think click and hold)

Click and hold JS1.B1 is stage 2 (think click-click and hold)

Each of these could then be passed as CMS.B1 and CMS.B2 as their respective staged trigger commands.

I've been playing with timers and waits and whiles and not having any luck.

Have you looked into Joystick Gremlin as a CH manager replacement? The "Chain" or "Double Tap" function might be what you are looking for...

https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/interface/

Chain: This container holds several independent groups of actions. Each time the physical action with which this container is associated the next action group is executed. When the last group in the chain is reached the first group is executed again. Additionally, a timeout can be set after which the chain is reset to the first entry.

Double Tap: This container holds two groups of actions, the first group is executed on a single button press while the second one is executed on a double press. The Double tap delay allows the modify the double tap speed, while Single / Double tap configures whether the single tap action is active together with the doble tap action or not. In the exclusive mode, the single tap action will be executed with a delay corresponding to the double tap delay.

Hi SV and thanks for the insight. Yes, I have pondered Gremlin. Do you know of a good repository of knowledge for the software that a non programmer can tap into? The lack of novice instruction has been the greatest obstacle to giving it a real try.

Best place is likely the HOTAS discord. It has a JG channel, and the developer is very active there.

Since the major "pro" of CH's are they Manager software, that now is lottery:

If you replace CH USB controller with a cheap Arduino PRO Micro, besides improve axes resolution 4 times (or 8 times external MPC3204/8 ADC) can easily add a physical second stage in trigger and don't need script juggling.
