Mapping some switches to joystick

Recommended Posts

I tried following in default.lua for having dedicated switch positions:

--Modded
{combos = {{key = 'A', reformers = {'RCtl'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, value_down = 1.0,  name = _('Radar Altimeter On'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'A', reformers = {'RShift','RCtl'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, value_down = 0.0,  name = _('Radar Altimeter Off'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'G', reformers = {'RCtl'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_14, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0,  name = _('Governor Emer'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'G', reformers = {'RShift','RCtl'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_14, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE, value_down = 0.0,  name = _('Governor Auto'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'B', reformers = {'RAlt'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = 0.0,  name = _('Battery Switch On'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'B', reformers = {'RShift','RAlt'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0,  name = _('Battery Switch Off'), category = _('Modded')},

 

 

Unfortunately only battery on/off works and I just can not figure out why. Any ideas?

 

 

The relevant parts in the clickabledata.lua are

elements["RADAR-ALT-PTR"] = default_2_position_tumb(_("Radar Altimeter Power Switch, ON/OFF"), devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, device_commands.Button_7, 449)

 

elements["GOV-PTR"] = default_2_position_tumb(_("Governor Switch, EMER/AUTO") , devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE, device_commands.Button_14, 85)

elements["BAT-SWITCHER-PTR"] = default_2_position_tumb(_("Battery Switch, ON/OFF"), devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, device_commands.Button_1, 219)

 

[/code]

Hi Jyge, I don't have the Huey module and therefore cannot try anything.

Question: Do the new commands you have created appear when you go to Options/Controls?

Assuming the answer is Yes:

Do any of the commands for Radar and Governor work? Normally I would try using value_down = -1.0 instead of value_down = 0.0. But if the command with value_down = 1.0 doesn't work either then that might not lead to the solution.

In some modules you have to use numerical ID's for cockpit_device_id (found in devices.lua), and also for the commands. In that case quite often you have to add 3000 to the button number. So instead of using "device_commands.Button_7" you would use "3007" (look at command_defs.lua).

I suppose you have edited the default.lua under the folder "keyboard". I would like to look at the one under "joystick" if you could post it.

I think I must have had something double. I removed the default keypresses here and left the following:

 

 

--Modded
{down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, value_down = 1.0,  name = _('Radar Altimeter On'), category = _('Modded')},
{down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, value_down = 0.0,  name = _('Radar Altimeter Off'), category = _('Modded')},
{down = device_commands.Button_14, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0,  name = _('Governor Emer'), category = _('Modded')},
{down = device_commands.Button_14, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE, value_down = 0.0,  name = _('Governor Auto'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'B', reformers = {'RAlt'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = 0.0,  name = _('Battery Switch On'), category = _('Modded')},
{combos = {{key = 'B', reformers = {'RShift','RAlt'}}}, down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0,

 

 

This I could map and it worked so, it was on those default assignments.
