Dear all,

I'm trying to build a panel and I'm looking for the var to set the three different positions of the knob, STBY/Auto/On. It's the Left first knob.
Does anyone knows which is the variable ? I found the TCAS modes (stby/ta/tara) but not this one.
I visited the hubhop but no luck

Thank you in advance

Hi

You need to ask this on DISCORD. https://discord.gg/99vHbK7
(Cause only a few FBW Users are here in Forum, and i´m not one of them)

Hopefully they can help you directly....
If not you can call me there.... Then we can find out this together in a shared screen seasson.

Solved via Discord .....

For Toggle:

Code:

(A:TRANSPONDER STATE:1, enum) 1 == if{ 3 } els{ 1 } (>A:TRANSPONDER STATE:1, enum)

For SET

Code:

1  (>A:TRANSPONDER STATE:1, enum)

Hi, again
Thank you so much for your support!!!!
You are doing a great job

Hi , i tryed it on A20Nx FBW (Experimental) and both didn't work.
I tryed to use a button on my joy
Any idea?

The testings yesterday was done as i know also on the Dev Version.

What do you expect ?
May you mix up the situation.... Topic is called and talk about TCAS..... But the Event the user need was the XPDR Main Controll Element.
( The Switch left of the "1" in the NumPad..... Not the one down right for TCAS)

Please check again..... In theory these Events should handle this Switch.
And for sure... the second was just a example....
1 (>A:TRANSPONDER STATE:1, enum)

This set to "1" .... If you like a other Value then you need e.g. a 3 instead.

EDIT: And maybe in the first one we use finally "4" instad of 3 .... I not know 100% why the advanced user work with 3 here. My Readout shows me the switch shows 4 for ON

Hi pizman, my goal is set ON the transponder as you described.

So i used both situation :

Toggle on pushbutton of my joy .. the transponder remain to STBY
Set on pushbutton : the trasponder remain to STBY

I have a doubt : are we sure MF can handle joystick/leobodnar etc versus the sim ?
Or i need to set this actio with arduino (i can test this)

Tested and it doesnt work... maybe fbw exp have other lvar for the xpndr

Like always... You need at first your "INPUT" work itself.
So if you have e.g. a electrical Problem.... Or a setting issue in MF ( that occure your Bodnar not is detect correctly)
Then we can not test the Input..... Cause we also not know if the Command is send finally.

To check this....
Enable the Logging Mode.... Typ Debug... To see if the Button is detect correctly and the needed Config is executed!

Alternate: Do something basic with that Button for testing....

I normaly use the MF Variables for that.

Make a Input Config.... Typ "MF Variable" Value $+1 and use the Bodnar Button as device. ..... Call the Var e.g. TEST
Then make a Output Config.... Use again MF Variable as source... Choose for TEST !
Then RUN MF and observe the Output Config.
Everytime you press the Button MF will now "Add +1" to the Var... And the Output will show this in the right Collumn.

In easy words.... Confirm the Button is working BEFORE you test the Transpnder Stuff !

About XPDR....
The other user tell me here FBW got a strange logic.... Looks like we can set in Sim only STBY or ON ( Witch is internal ALT ) The "Auto" can not be set as he say.
So maybe thats your Problem.... As i understand his formula is build to set to AUTO instead.
