9 flight modes - matrix style?

Post by hbi »

Hello fellow TX hackers

I have a request that I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can help me program
What I want is to use 2 of the 3-way switches to get 9 flightmodes (8 + default)

Basically the idea is to use a matrix with Switch 1 defining the X-side and Switch 2 defining the Y-side
Like this:

Code: Select all

           ----------------------
      up   | FP-1 | FP-2 | FP-3 |
           ----------------------
S1   mid   | FP-4 | def. | FP-5 |
           ----------------------
    down   | FP-6 | FP-7 | FP-8 |
           ----------------------
              up    mid    down
                 Switch 2
The idea is to have 3-way switches in both sticks, and be able to manage my F3B glider without ever having to move my hands from said sticks.
I have just this setup on my Spektrum DX-10t today, that matrix style solution is built in since som firmware back.
but I figure with all the GVars and whatnot, it should be possible to build in the OpenTX too.

So, is anyone able to help me, or perhaps someone have already programmed this?

All you need is 8 logical switches that AND the desired positions. Maybe fewer, haven't given enough thought to see if the equation can be simplified.

I belive you need something like pixhawk/apm configuration.
Enter taranis apm in google and it should find a lot of examples.
