Inplementing switch mod

I added two switches to my devo 7e and I would like to know how to activate them. If there are instructions on this, could you please direct me to them.

Load the Nightly Build (but it may already be supported with the 4.01 release, I'm not sure if you added 3-ways or not)

Then this:
www.deviationtx.com/manuals/html-devo10/...ml#switch-assignment

...and this:
bitbucket.org/PhracturedBlue/deviation/w...ansmitter%20switches
Note this part of it.....
Modded(*): SWA0, SWA1, SWA2, SWB0, SWB1, SWB2
(*) There are published hardware modes for the 7e to add two 2-way switches or a 3-way switch by just adding the connections. A more complicated mod makes it possible to add two three-way switches. These are supported by the latest nightly builds.

Well I found out that first I need to enable the switches in hardware.ini. But what does the 2x2, 3x1 etc. mean?

3x2 = two 3-way switches
3x1 = one 3-way switch
2x2 = two 2-way switches

I don't have a 7E with extra switches, but I would guess, uncomment the line "extra-switches=" and add 3x2 after the equals sign .....(or 3x1, or 2x2, which ever switches that you added)

Could you combine a 3 way switch with a 2 way switch?

Dunno.

Did you follow a modding guide when you did your switch mod?
Did you add one 3-way and one 2-way?
Have you even actually done the mod yet?

You could maybe try (with and without the comma in the uncommented line)

;switch_types: 3x2, 3x1, 2x2
extra-switches= 3x1, 2x1

...in the hardware.ini file and see if SWA0, SWA1, SWA2 for the 3-way shows up, SWB0, SWB1 for the 2-way selections show up in the appropriate model page, but I kind of doubt that it will work. Probably won't be able to be processed by the firmware since those switch types are not listed in the preceding line of the hardware.ini file.

Probably, the best bet is to do:
extra-switches= 3x2
...and ignore the SW(A or B)2 of the 2-way switch that it is assigned to and not a use that designation when setting up your model .ini

Heck, I don't know! I'm a n00b too. (this thread is probably pretty entertaining for the forum veterans) =O)

If you don't know why are you trying to answer the question?

Because, nobody else has chimed in since the two days of your original question. I am just trying to help you, since no one else is.

....Sheesh! Feel free to struggle on all alone, then.

I wasn't trying to be rude, just wondering why your answering a question you really don't know the answer to.

OK, I'm sorry for copping an attitude then.

You need to provide more info about what you have done as far the switch mods go, how many of what type, what version of deviation firmware installed, what you have tried already, etc.. Even the experts will be guessing how to fix you up if they don't have all of the pertinent info. I guarantee someone here knows how, but they need more info than you have given to help you.

Starting the emulator.............., only the predefined 3x2/ 2x2/ 3x1 settings are working. The mixed 3x1, 2x1 shows no extra switches.
Decide if like to up or downgrade your mod.

Thanks aMax that's all I needed to know. I know now how to program the added switches that I have.
Please close this topic. My question has been answered.

Yes, that's pretty much what I figured and told him a few posts earlier, I was just giving him something to try. Thank you for verifying that.

He already told you: because nobody else has provided an answer after a couple of days. I do that myself. If I have an answer in not sure of, I'll wait and as if someone provides an accurate answer. If that doesn't happen, I'll provide my guess with the appropriate disclaimer. I figure something you can check to see if it's right is better than silence.

OK duly noted. Sorry for the misinterpretation. As you've noted, my people skills are not very good. Again sorry.
