Knobster KAP140 Generic NO ARM and BARO

#1 Post by JTailor »

With knobster disabled I can use the buttons ARM and BARO on the KAP 140 autopilot.
Once knobster is enabled this buttons are no longer usable.

Can you explain why they're not usable?

My guess.
With only touch screen the blue circle around the knob of the KAP140 is much smaller and you can still use the ARM and BARO button
With the knobster you have a bigger circle around the KAP140 and you can no longet use the ARM and BARO buttons
My touch screen is an ASUS VT229 ( 1920x1080 )

Hi

Does the button on the knobster not work?

The hardware of the knobster is OK
It is as soon as the panel is in 'knobster mode ' ( Yellow circles around the knobs ) the ARM and BARO buttons are no longer touchable on the touchscreen.

Hi,

That is working correct. You must use the button on the knobster.

There is a flaw in the instrument code. The outer knob dial was indeed overlapping the buttons by the odd pixel. If you change the following 2 lines it will be fixed.

line 429 change to

Code: Select all

dial_big = dial_add("big_dial.png", 563,50,124,124, big_dial_callback)
line 433 change to

Code: Select all

dial_small = dial_add("small_dial.png", 582,71,86,86, small_dial_callback)
