Repeat while pressed

[ereuter]

I'm trying to figure out the logic to repeatedly send a command (flaps down) to XP while a momentary button is pressed. The Grumman Tiger I'm flying has a momentary toggle switch to move the flaps up and down, but the up and down commands are very small increments. The physical switch is attached to an Arduino as two buttons. Its a ON-OFF-ON type, so the center is neutral.

Thanks!

You could start a timer with the pressed callback, which sends a flaps up or down command every x milliseconds. Then stop that timer with the released callback.

Hi,

Did you read the API?

I'm not sure if a begin and end will work with flaps, but maybe?

Ralph,

The OP said...

So one can assume that when the switch is in the (ON) position it sends commands ("BEGIN") until it is in the OFF position and then sends command ("END").

But it could be different.

I’ll try begin and end. I had forgotten that those existed. I wrote my scripts a couple years ago for a 172 and am conveying them. Thanks.

Maybe, I've never tried it. But certainly worth a try.
