Air Manager KAP 140 - buttons too close to Knobster knob

#1 Post by ChipDeMoss »

Ralph - when you try to push either the ARM or BARO buttons on the Air Manager KAP 140 autopilot that are located right above the Knobster knob, their "circle of influence", or the little circle area that shows when you push a button, touches the Knobster knob area and activates the Knobster knob, but not the intended functions of the ARM or BARO buttons, so these two functionalities are lost. Conversely, the circle of influence for the UP and DOWN buttons which are located to the left of the Knobster knob, are offset so that the right side of the circles ends at the right edge of the buttons, enough that they don't touch the Knobster knob area, and the functionality of these two buttons remains intact.

Question - to restore functionality to the ARM and BARO buttons when using the Knobster, is there a way to move the circle of influence of the ARM and BARO buttons so that the bottoms of the circle of influence coincides with the bottom of theses two buttons and don't imping on the Knobster knob?

Alternatively, is there a way to exclude the KAP 140 autopilot instrument from Knobster control?

Had to change the dial sizes in the lua script.

Big dial is now: dial_big = dial_add("big_dial.png", 565,55,109,109, big_dial_callback)

Small dial is now: dial_small = dial_add("small_dial.png", 590,80,69,69, small_dial_callback)

Now the ARM and BARO buttons work by touch.
