Extra 3POS switch?

Post by jarlel »

Hi all,

I need one more 3-position switch, the "3POS" I've used already.
I read somewhere that it is possible to "convert" some other inputs to 3-position switches?

If so, how can this be done physically and in Companion?

Thanks :-)

I think you will have to install Ersky9x on your radio for that. I don't think OpenTx supports adding extra hardware..

Thanks. If I remember correctly it was related to using a switch connected to a rotary input and configuring it to work as a switch.
Anyone?

My mistake, I was thinking of this:

* 3 Pots (All three can be converted to 3 position switches)

How should I convert them to 3 position switches?

You need 2 resistors to define a middle level, pretty sure there's a diagram somewhere.

Then you use either the pot source as is, logical switches or the "multipos switch" feature but that will depend on what radio you have and what firmware version, you mentioned neither.

Thanks, Kilrah! I have 2.1.9, if I'am not mistaken (not able to check right now). Running on a Mega2560 Pro Mini board.
