How to control ARC-210 Function Dial using performClickableAction

[MoppleTheWhale42]

Hi,

I am trying to set the main mode of ARC210 (A-10CII) via clickable action. The master knob has device id 55 and  3043.

My problem is, that whenever I call performClickableAction the knob does not rotate into the next clockwise or counter clockwise position, but rotates left or right to the very left, resp. very right position.

What am I doing wrong? How can I programmatically set the knob into a specific position respectively mode?

thank you

Hi,

You need to employ the VALUE field of the X:COCKPIT PERFORM CLICKEABLE ACTION.

For this specific knob, the values used for each position are:

0: Off
0.1: TR G
0.2: TR
0.3: ADF
... etc

 

I got these values from examining the clickeabledata.lua file of the A-10CII, the sentence defining this knob working is:

 

elements["VHFUHF1P"] = multiposition_switch_limited(_("ARC-210, master switch") , devices.VHF_AM_RADIO, device_commands.Button_43, 551, 7, 0.1, nil, anim_speed_multipos_thumb, {135, -45}, {20, -55})

 

551 is the Argument ID of this knob (you would use it on the X:COCKPIT ARGUMENT IN RANGE condition), the next value (7) indicates that this knob has 7 positions, and the next value (0.1) is the increment in value for these knob positions, so the first position is 0, the second is 0.1 and so on.
