Toggle switch question

[Mud]

Hey folks,

 

I changed the default.lua for auto-collective in autopilot to the following so that I can use the EAC toggle switch on my Warthog to turn it on and off:

 

{down = device_commands.Button_18, up = device_commands.Button_18, cockpit_device_id = devices.AUTOPILOT, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, name = _('Mud Auto-Collective Toggle'), category = _('SA342 Autopilot')},

 

That one works fine.

 

Looking at the Auto-Slaved toggle, it looks like it's already set up in that way in the default.lua.   However, there I have to flick the switch up to turn it on, and the down and up again to turn it off.  So it's not behaving the desired way.  

 

{down = device_commands.Button_12, up = device_commands.Button_12, cockpit_device_id = devices.AUTOPILOT, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, name = _('SA342 Auto-Slaved Toggle'), category = _('SA342 Pilot Stick')},

 

Anybody have an idea why?

Have you tried with this :

 

{down = device_commands.Button_12, cockpit_device_id = devices.AUTOPILOT, value_down = 1, name = _('SA342 Auto-Slaved Toggle'), category = _('SA342 Pilot Stick')},

That one behaves the same as mine.

 

What I don't get is that both mine have the up and down value set, yet it only works for the auto-collective and not the auto-slave.

I may not have understood correctly,

 

You just want to reverse the top and bottom for the Auto-Slaved Toggle?

No, I want it to work with a toggle switch:

 

Toggle up turns on auto-slave, toggle down turns it off.

Currently, up turns it on, but to turn it off I have to flick the switch down and then up again.

I reproduced on my config, for 'toggle' buttons, the problem is not in the file default.lua, you must declare the two positions of the inter, did you do it ?

 

 

For me, the button 15 is the high position, the 16 the low position. This should work fine with all 'toggle' buttons.

You cannot declare the off position for a 2-way switch on the Warthog Hotas.

 

In my case I'm trying to bind the auto-slave to the RDR ALTM switch.  It's an ON or OFF switch, so only the ON can be mapped in the bindings in DCS.

Ahhh, it is therefore linked to Hotas itself, pity ...

It is therefore preferable to map the toggles on push buttons as initially planned.

If it's possible...
