I'm sure it's just a problem with my build environment, but when I try to run the emu_devo8 from that repo, the fonts are all messed up, then I got a blue screen of death. I'm on win7 64 bit, and I'm betting that repo is built on linux.

Long story short, will there be an opportunity to see this new advanced mixer before it gets changed in the main deviation trunk?


It's in the emu_devo10...

suvsuv hasn't implemented advanced2 for Devo8. It only works with the Devo10/emu.

Resetting a timer (I took GEAR1 as switch) works only when the timer is not counting (bound on CH3). Toggling has no effect. I did not expect this, but makes sense.
But when the reset condition is true (GEAR1), immediately when the throttle was down (ch3=-100) the timer was reset. Is this wanted this way? Shouldn't the timer only be reset when the switch is actually toggled?

Fix in my last commit : Now timer is reset by the 'Reset src' even if 'Src' is 'On' (hope you understand my frenglish :blush: ).

I see it now, and yes it is pretty intuitive.

Because this thread is called "some new features", can I quickly ask if it's very hard to implement moving the servo speed to the mix rather than applying it to the channel?

I don't know how hard it will be. More relevantly, I'm not sure that it is a good idea, or what the interface should look like. I don't think you necessarily want to apply it at the individual mixer level. The problem is that we do not calculate each mixer individually. Each mixer for a given output is applied all at once, so having a scaler for just one mixer makes no sense.

Having it available per channel makes much more sense (which is why it is there now). However it currently applies when limits are calculated which means you can't use servo-speed as feedback into another channel since using a channel as input uses the pre-limit value.

If we make the speed be applied after all mixer calculations for a given channel but before the limits, you could use the slowed value as an input to another mixer. I think this would also work for Paolo's ticket where he wants the input to his mix to be the actual flap position and not the ideal position.

Yes, that will do nicely.

I'm not sure what the sequence is in er9x, but delay and speed are available on every mixer page, but as you said, I can't see where you could use speed or delay on more that one mix page. They may have just put it there for the sake of code space.

Hi PB and domcars0...

Just wanted to say I built and installed the latest as of today...

LOOKS GREAT! Fantastic work.

I installed on devo12, haven't had a chance to install on the 8 yet.

Hi Hexperience,
Thanks (but the boss is really PB).
Take care, I've just commit to fix 2 bugs;
- Only one permanent timer is now allowed.
- On the Devo6/8/12 it was not possible to configure correctly the 1rst and the 3rd timers.

As I realize that we may need different permanent timers (one for the motor, another for the heli, ...). In the last commit of my repo, 3 permanent timers are possible.
Of course we can reset one perm timer independantly from the others.

I have a question about timers... I set a countdown timer and it start on throttle channel but it stop when throttle is -100. Is it possbile to start when throttle start but never stop after? I have this option on my DX8. Thank you.

It is not possible. The only thing you could do is to assign no switch and start manually. Then you have no condition where it would be stopped automatically.
What do you want it for? It seems a little strange to me. One thing I could imagine is to measure the flight time of a sailplane...
If it is useful i am sure that someone will implement this.

Hi,
Always playing with the code, I've coded a new small feature,
that plays alarm if you don't touch sticks, buttons or screen (Devo 6/8/12)
after a configurable time (between 'Off' to 60mn , step = 1mn)
Hope it can be usefull :)

Good idea, but it will need a hardware clock unless you want to set the time every time you switch on your TX. As far as I have seen should the MCU have such a feature, but it would need at least a crystal and a backup battery (and quite uncomfortable soldering).

Only Devo 12 has real time clock.
