Suggestion, enhanced throttle hold.

First one is to only allow thold to be disabled if the throttle stick is at 0.
The second is to add a vibration and beep or short rising note when throttle hold is activated.
This would reduce the risk of accidental spoolup if you hit thold while moving the tx, and you would know if you hit it by mistake.

If deviationTx has a generalized sound output feature, I haven't found it.
What I do is use the "Toggle" feature of the main page config to put a Th symbol on the screen when throttle hold (the sticky one) is active. At least you can tell when it's on that way.
Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

I've been thinking about making a feature request to deal with this: Add a "Mixers" menu to the standard GUI, that only has the virtual channels on it. Then allow selecting virtual channels as switches elsewhere in the standard GUI.
It might also be nice to be able to select them as inputs for output channels in the standard GUI, but that's 1) bordering on the advanced GUI anyway, and 2) routes values through the virtual channel that the advanced GUI would let you set up directly for the output channel.

Xermalk, just go ahead and make the switch, I'll help you if there is stuff you struggle with.
People should use the standard just as a step towards the advanced mixer, because they miss out big time. You people basically give away the best part of Deviation.

Generally I don't do much development on the standard GUI. I load it up every once in a while to make sure it still works, and I accept patches adding new capabilities, but it isn't my passion. I understand the appeal of a transmitter that works much like a stock system but with more protocols, and I think the current 'Standard' GUI achieves that pretty well, and if that is all you need, then keep with the Standard GUI. It will always be there. But in the end if you want the really cool toys, you'll likely need to learn the Advanced GUI.mwm wrote: I've been thinking about making a feature request to deal with this: Add a "Mixers" menu to the standard GUI, that only has the virtual channels on it.

The difference for me is that something like a sticky throttle hold can be implemented without any code changes, whereas actually implementing the feature in Deviation would require significant coding. Deviation was designed to supply the tools to let you do what you want to with your transmitter, and I try to continually make it better at doing that. Several people have said that Deviation is a clear example of a programmer designing a user-interface for himself rather than the users. I fully admit that; the code has been forked several times because of it, and that is great too.
In the end, I think we have built a very supportive community here with great expertise, who is very friendly to newcomers and are willing to teach anyone who wants to learn. I'm as proud of that as I am of Deviation itself.

I tried setting it up myself, and the gyro channel. But the advanced gui . Its about as user friendly as a F16 user manual, google translated to chinese, And then google translated back.
My University professor in usability design would just shake his head if he saw it.
Iv attached the model file for my standard gui/Devil450.
Id love to have the "sticky" throttle hold, and throttle / gyro curves of 0-100 in the displays.
Edit: I'v managed to get it to display a 0-100% throttle curve, but the issue is that the channel output is also only 0-100.
Edit2: I'll just stick to the standard gui, the advanced gui is just to complicated. I want to fly, not spend 2h infront of a computer figuring out what takes 1 minutes in the standard gui.

About usability all I know when it happens to only have a monochrome 128x64 screen all bets are off. Your professor could as much as kill himself and it won't change anything
Edit: I owned 4 Macs so far so usability is both known and appreciated my me.

Would be awesome to remap throttle % to governor headspeed. If not ill just stick a cheat sheet to the back of my tx.
