Press and hold button

[CubDriver_197T]

I'm attempting to create an annunciator test button, and having a small difficulty. the button functions when pressed and does actuate the test button in the sim, but only for a very brief period. How can do I get Arduino/air Manager to "see" when I hold the button for a period of time?

Here is my code as of right now...

function button_pressed()

print("TEST")


xpl_command("sim/annunciator/test_all_annunciators")

end

hw_button_add("TEST", button_pressed)

xpl_dataref_subscribe("sim/cockpit/warnings/annunciator_test_timeout", "FLOAT", function(state)
xpl_dataref_subscribe("sim/cockpit/warnings/annunciator_test_pressed", "INT", function(state)
end)



end)


Thanks,
Justin

Please use the code brackets next time.

Press and hold requires you to use start and stop events in the command. So:

Code: Select all

function button_pressed()
  xpl_command("sim/annunciator/test_all_annunciators", 1)
end

function button_released()
  xpl_command("sim/annunciator/test_all_annunciators", 0)
end

hw_button_add("TEST", button_pressed, button_released)

Thanks for the helping hand, Ralph.

I don’t know what you mean by using the code brackets. This is all quite new to me and I’m just plodding along as best I can.

Hi Justin,
Welcome to the forum. This is a common thing that newbies to the forum do not know and often taken for granted by us all. You will learn all the quirks in time.The code brackets are the </> icon in this image. By clicking on the icon you can enter code within the brackets. It makes it easier for all to read and separates code from what one wants to explain.
