Devo 10 - use upper Right Trim for Panic mode? was created by D_an_W

Evening folks, my Devo 10 arrived today and i am in the process of editing my Devo 7E files to work with it.

I had the idea of using the upper right trim (TRIM_R from what I can tell) as a Momentary button to activate Panic Mode on my Nano CP S as then the button wouldn't need turning off, I could just let go.
I currently have Panic Mode set to the AILE D/R switch and from what I can tell it works ok, what I can't figure out how to do is to have the TRIM_R switch do the job in place of the AIL DR switch.

If anyone wouldn't mind taking a look, this is my current ini file for the Nano CP S with slightly tamed down settings in Agility mode:

First you need to set up a virtual switch. That needs both a virtual channel and a virtual switch. I've taken some from a working model, changing the names to protect the innocent:

[virtchan2]
name=Panic
template=complex
[mixer]
src=Virt2
dest=Virt2
scalar=0

and the trim:

[virtchan2]
name=Reset
template=complex
[mixer]
src=Virt2
dest=Virt2
scalar=0

The trim is a PITA to do in the model file, because the "magic" trim types are just "magic" values. In the Tx, you set the source to the virtual channel (which if I've already set it up, will be named "Panic" in the above example), scroll the trim step to the magic values, which are "smaller" than 0.1.

After that, you need to fix you mixer to use the new "Panic" switch. That's not obvious, because it's not got a 0 & 1 position. However, you can use reverse it (hit enter when it's in the Source scroll box) to get the 0 position. But you don't really need it, as you can just enable the second mixer with "Panic", and not bother with a switch on the first mixer, as it'll be used whenever the second one isn't. You can also simplify the last mixer by using an "Add" mux type. All together, that looks like:

[channel5]
template=complex
[mixer]
src=Virt1
dest=Ch5
[mixer]
src=AIL
dest=Ch5
switch=Virt2
scalar=-40
muxtype=add
curvetype=fixed

Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply!

From reading your blog shouldn't the trim look more like this?

[trim5]
src=Virt2
pos=TRIM_R+
step=193
value=-100,0,0

EDIT: From testing in the emulator the config below appears to work, I have added the Virtual Switch to both TRIM_L+ & R+ so pressing either one of the upper trim button up will enable panic mode and just letting go returns it back to normal...thanks Mike
